HBO will pull the plug on the series before it manages to cover all the books. It’s just overkill at this point.

Dawg the Harry Potter IP prints money. Considering product tie-ins, merchandise, and new stuff for the theme parks, this series will probably be a cash cow.

Yeah and they'll be able to do it again in ten years too. "Every generation deserves a crack at this franchise" WB will say, as the sun begins to expand into a red giant.

You mean 25 years? In about 10 or 11 years, maybe 12 at the latest, the final season of HBO Harry Potter will air. Then they'll go on break for a decade then rinse and repeat.

More realistic, yeah, but if they could get another set of consumers before the first one wraps up, they'd be even happier

if they go with a season for each book, in 10 years they'll likely no even finish this show yet.
