What Does J.K. Rowling Think of HBO's Harry Potter Series Scripts?
In one of her posts on X last weekend, Rowling revealed that she has read the scripts for the first two episodes of the Harry Potter series and gave her seal of approval.
"I read the first two episodes of the forthcoming HBO Harry Potter series and they are SO, SO, SO GOOD!" she wrote.
The author also addressed a question from a fan on whether she is writing any of the episodes.
She responded, "No, but I've worked closely with the extremely talented writers."
While Rowling is not writing an episode of the series, she is heavily involved in the project as one of the executive producers.
Francesca Gardiner serves as the showrunner and head writer of the series, while Emmy winner Mark Mylod will direct some of the episodes. Production is currently scheduled to take place this summer in the UK.
