Rowling, the firstHarry Pottermovie was released in 2001, introducing audiences to Radcliffe’s Harry, Emma Watson’s Hermione, and Rupert Grint’s Ron. After each installment achieved critical and commercial success, the epic saga concluded with its eighth film in 2011. Now, Max is set to adapt the author’s work once more with the upcomingHarry PotterTV show, which will devote one season of television to adapting each book.
In a recent interview withPeople, Radcliffe is asked which of Rowling’s books he’s most excited for the Max TV show to adapt. The star reveals thathis most anticipated book isHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Check out his comment below:
“The last one, I mean, it’ll be a while before they get to that, I assume, but that was always one of my favorite of the books and of the films."
Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 Was A Triumphant Finale For The Franchise
Will The TV Show Be Able To Top It?
There’s only oneDeathly Hallowsbook, but theHarry Pottermovie franchise split the story in two in order to properly wrap up the grand saga. While there was a great deal of anticipation for the final installment and the potential for major audience disappointment, the final film was a slam dunk.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2earned glowing reviewsfrom critics, and currently sports a franchise high score of 96% onRotten Tomatoes. The audience score is also a record for the franchise at 89%.
The second-highest scoring entry in the franchise isHarry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which features a 90% critics' score and 86% audience score.
These positive reviews are supported byHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2’s box office performance.The eighth film is the highest-grossing movie in the franchise, ending its run with a remarkable $1.341 billion worldwide. As with any grand saga based on beloved IP, sticking the landing is immensely difficult, and it comes with a great deal of pressure from audiences. By my most metrics, however,Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2endedthe series on a high note.
Capturing this same level of success and wrapping up the stories of the keyHarry Pottercharacterswill evidently be a major challenge for the upcoming TV show. The movie version ofDeathly Hallowsbenefited from feeling like a major blockbuster, and most of the film plays out as one extended battle sequence at Hogwarts. It remains to be seen how theHarry Pottershow will handle its own version of Rowling’s final book, but Radcliffe is certainly correct in saying that audiences probably won’t find out for quite some time.
