Harry Pottermust contend with the multiple and sometimes contradictory groups it must appeal to.
The generation that grew up onHarry Potterhas also aged out of the series.
That presents another challenge, as newcomers will need more than movie nostalgia to be drawn in.
Straying too far from the films and the books they’re based on could upset longtime fans, however.
Needless to say,Harry Pottermust contend with the multiple and sometimes contradictory groups it must appeal to.

TheHarry Pottershow will need to be careful with what it adds and expands on, requiring more careful balance.

TheHarry Pottershow’s new Golden Triowill probably be around the same ages as their characters when season 1 opens.
However, the genre’s offerings are much vaster nowadays.
Needless to say,HBO’s remake will face far more worthy competition than the movies ever did.

That said, the creators shouldn’t count on established IP alone to drive its success.
