The Wizarding World is about to expand once more. Sources suggest that Warner Bros. is quietly developing Harry Potter: The Return of the Dark Lord, a new continuation of J.K. Rowling’s saga, with Daniel Radcliffe reportedly agreeing to reprise his iconic role as the Boy Who Lived.
Set nearly two decades after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the story is said to explore a fractured wizarding society where old evils resurface in unexpected ways. Instead of Voldemort, the threat comes from his lingering magic—an echo of the Dark Lord himself, reborn through forbidden rituals. Harry, now a weary Auror raising three children with Ginny, must once again confront the shadows of his past.
Early whispers indicate that Emma Watson and Rupert Grint may also be in discussions to return, with Watson’s Hermione now serving as Minister for Magic, and Grint’s Ron managing the Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes while secretly involved in underground resistance work.
