Zaslav's comments about both IPs are worrying.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Frustratingly, Warner Bros. has confirmed that the studio intends to make more Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings spinoffs despite how overtaxed both franchises already are. Every franchise has a natural endpoint. For some series, this might arrive after a few movies. For others, it will be after numerous films, multiple spinoffs, and a television series.
WB Risks Doing Too Much With Harry Potter & Lord Of The Rings During Goldman Sachs' event, Zaslav proposed “bringing Harry Potter back to HBO for 10 consecutive years” and adding “multiple movies" to the Lord of the Rings franchise. After the mistakes of Fantastic Beasts 3, it's surprising that Zaslav claims there's untapped gold in these hills. However, the reason behind these new projects is even more concerning.
WB's Plan Misunderstands Why Harry Potter & LOTR Movies Worked In The First Place Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter didn't succeed solely because they were franchises. They became franchises in the first place due to their superb storytelling, which is a distinction that Warner Bros Discovery seems to misunderstand.
Why There's Still Hope For Harry Potter & Lord Of The Rings Despite how money-focused Zaslav's comments are, some of his statements could be reassuring for fans of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. Zaslav saying that this plan requires "the best creative people in the world" is encouraging, and the fact that Warner Bros. Discovery hired Troma graduate James Gunn as the head of their DC division means they are willing to take some creative risks.
