The series is due to go into production later this year, with a 2027 release date on the cards. It will be based on the iconic Harry Potter franchise that were originally published between 1997 and 2007.

The actors who are going to play Ron, Hermione and Harry have not yet been revealed but it has been reported that they are all currently 11-years-old and British. It’s also thought that the child trio will become millionaires from the huge job.
This would be the same as Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson, who starred in all eight Harry Potter films after being cast age 11 and are all now multi millionaires. Emma now has an estimated net worth of more than £60million as Rupert has a reported fortune of between £35m and £50m.
Meanwhile main star Daniel now has an estimated net worth of between £80m and £100m. A finance expert told the MailOnline reported that athem that because of inflation since the Harry Potter films were first made in the early 2000s the three new actors will likely earn even more than the originals.
Martin Cobb said: “There’s absolutely no reason to suppose [the new actors] won’t easily exceed the incomes of the three original stars.” Daniel, Emma and Rupert are said to not be making their own appearances in the new series.
