During a conference call on Thursday November 3, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav discussed a wide range of issues, including a keenness for the company to exploit the many franchises under their banner. The most eye-catching of those was the mention that they would seek to make more Harry Potter films, if they could work with author J.K. Rowling, as per the report of Collider.

When Bloomsbury Publishing (BLPU.L) founder Nigel Newton brought home a manuscript for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" by a then unknown J.K. Rowling, his daughter Alice described it as "possibly one of the best books an 8/9 year old could read".
