After a long race of dizzy success, the wizarding world has now been struggling for years. The Harry Potter series received universal appreciation, attracted autores such as Alphonso Curon and gave a mantra on audiences of all ages. The results were immediately visible at the box office, with every film in the series $ 700 million and more than two earned – two – two – two – two – two – two – two – two – Philosophical stone And Deathley Hallows – Part 2 – Crossing the $ 1 billion mark. Harry Potter There was a cultural phenomenon, a franchise that revived the fantasy style and defined an entire generation.
Logically, Warner Brothers demanded to exploit the Wizarding World by greenlitting another franchise based on the spinoff book in green. Great animals and where to find themAlthough enthusiasm was wandering, the first film was enough to woo the fans to come back. Once it became clear that the saga was moving towards another wizarding war, the audience lost interest. Critics stopped the sequel, Crime of grindelwaldA film that derailed the Vizarding World due to lack of its purpose and meaningless storytelling. Disputes around Potter Writer JK Rowling, Johnny Depp and Ezra Miller The fuel was added to the already fierce fire, and now that the third film has come together, the damage is beyond repair. Mysteries of dumbbell A better significant reception received, but it was not enough to save a ship that had already collided with iceberg and was flooded with water.
Is this the end of the line?
Fans are still emotional about the wizarding world, but they could not be less interested in the war of Grindelld. Even a lame and undeveloped romance between Dambaldor and Grindelld cannot attract the audience for this dying franchise. Nevertheless, Harry's magic still packs some punch. Potter The saga remains one of the main assets of HBO Max, and the theme parks continue to produce solid business. In addition, fans are eagerly waiting for the upcoming Hogwarts Legacy Video games, confirming that the wizarding world is everything but dead.
It may be easy to think that the answer is going back to Hogwarts, away from adult witches and wizards who took the attraction away from films. Others may suggest to bring back Harry, Ron and Harmine-Golden trio that took the original franchise on their back. However, the solution may not be so simple, especially in the school of Vistraft and Vizardry with a shadow of Rowling.
Therefore, if Hogwarts, Harry, Ron and Harmine are very closely associated with Rowling, and are considering Fantastic animals What, purposefully, a failure, can the wizarding world still flourish? The simple answer is yes. However, it needs to be away from Rowling, which means letting the characters of their heritage go in favor of new people who better represents the huge fandam who remained loyal. A post-Fantastic animals The wizarding world can be present without JK Rowling; It is just a matter of perspective.
A world of opportunities
The wizarding world is huge and full of opportunities. There are a million ways to take advantage of it without directly including Rowling. Take the past of the magical community, barely developed in original books and rarely mentioned in the current suffrage. One of the most reputed characters in pop culture is part of Merlin Potter Canon, and therefore the king is Arthur. What will the Camalot look like in the context of the wizarding world? The story of Raja Arthur maintains attractive audiences To date, so it seems like a match in heaven. Marilyn participated in Hogwarts and belonged to Sleetherin, adding an additional layer of complexity in the conspiracy, because Sleetherin is infamous among the magical community. After all, not all Sleetherin are dark wizards, but all dark wizards are sleeurin, or so Harry Potter Books have said.
Indeed, the Vizarding World has a black-white approach to valor and villain. You are either good or bad; There is no one in the middle. Since we are living in Age of antihroWhat is the better time to introduce the world of Harry Potter? Perhaps a swashbuckler buccaneer or perhaps an attractive knight from medieval times? The history of Britain is rich and complex, so fans know so little about its magical past?
We do not need to see how the magic ministry came, but it can be interesting to see magic during a real -life event, perhaps during the Crusage, had become a law long before the international law of wizarding privacy? During the period of Tudor, a adventure seems like a correct mixture of conspiracy and magic. Anne Bolin was once called a witch; Perhaps she was one in the wizarding world? Magic Victorian was a major form of entertainment during England, and films like, and films like Prestige And Confusion Already proved that there is an audience for those stories.
Quidich through time
Kwidich is a major part of Potter Franchise. Some of the best moments in early films showed Quidich, an incredible game that many people would like to play in real life. Some, really, doIn 2012, Oxford University hosted the global Games, which featured teams from UK, US, Canada, France and Australia. Nowadays, International Quidich Association IQA's eligible national governing bodies are elected by any of the “International competition of the elite.” It will host its next cup in Richmond, Virginia in 2023.
There are no quidich players either Potter Fan; They are in it for the thrill of the game. Even if there are no flying sweeps, the Quidich is still exciting and extraordinary, alike to non-exemplary devotional devotion and franchisees equally. The wizarding, beyond the original composition of Quidich Rowling, is the correct example of the world, capable of standing on its own. So where is the Hek Quidich film?
Sports films are a big thing in Hollywood. The best examples successfully mix elements of romance, drama, comedy, and sometimes imagine the games that they place at the center around. Like movies Jerry Maguire, Bull darhamAnd Hussler Present the correct combination of sports and romance, while others like raging Bull, Pride of yankisAnd Cadishc There is a mixture of styles that increase them traditionalism, converting them into classics immediately.
A Quidich film fans will allow the fans to watch the game in all their sharp and violent pride, experiencing a new side for the wizarding world. It can take one One of his leagues ownThe approach and center on all-women team, Holihead Harpes. Instead why it is not made a romance, perhaps among the captains of rival teams, because they prepare to play Quidich World Cup, Wimbledon-Style? Otherwise, the film can completely revolve around a Quidich team and its high and climb – Friday night Lights With a magical turn. The possibilities are endless for a quidich film, especially the name of the game is considering recognition and comprehensive appeal.
Going international
Rowling has spent very little time infamous that it is developing its wizarding world beyond Britain. Fantastic animals The franchise was to expand beyond Europe, to choose New York as a setting for its first film. However, the future entries returned to the old continent, visiting Paris and Berlin, but was firmly in an English -speaking context. Rowling has mentioned only an unclear about the magical community in places like Africa or South America, making his composition narrow mind.
But Potter The franchise was internationally massive; Wizarding world has earned $ 9 billion Worldwide, most of them are coming from the international box office. It is clear that fans around the world want to see the world of wizarding more, and it does not make much effort to guess that they want to see themselves representing the franchise which they like very much. So why the wizarding world is afraid of expanding in new areas?
Certainly, Magic has a rich history in Africa, which is probably tied with ancient Egypt and their priests. However, the entire continent shared a school of magic, Ugadau, which says a lot about the world building skills and priorities of Rowling. Africa presents a world of opportunities for the franchise. In fact, the settings may be perfect for another teen-centered adventure work, who are looking for young generations and indifferent. Panther It has been proved that there are a large -scale audience for stories set in Africa, and it is honestly strange that any other major franchise has not capitalized on it.
South America shares a similar situation in which Maya and Aztec are immersed in attractive mythology that can easily tie in magic. The countries of South America also shared a magical school, CastailBurso, which is located in the rainforest. It already looks like a wonderful setting for a wizarding world film, but things can be even better by adding action-adventure elements. Indiana JonesA film or show focused on the region can actually inspire casting, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina and of course, collect characters from Brazil.
The Vizarding World has several times stated its commitment to diversity, but it has not yet a major character facility which is a colorful person in any of its story. International will solve this issue once and for everyone, proving that the claims of the franchise's diversity are more than just cheap talks.
final call
Where is currently the wizarding world standing? Hard to say. A lot of controversies and failures plague it, once fulfill its irreparable heritage. Warner Brothers need to take back one step back and rethink their franchise before being too tainted to rescue. The studio needs to take a step at a time and should not start a five-film Sagas without certainty that the audience wants to buy what they are selling.
Above all, it should be understood that the property is spacious and spacious, which is full of unexplained opportunities, which is waiting to take. If developing them means to cut relationships with JK Rowling, it should be; In fact, it can be better for the longevity of the franchise to separate from the harmful and rapid divisive trend of the routing. If Disney can convince George Lucas to sell Lucasfilm, Warner Brothers Wizarding can definitely make a deal with Rowling to acquire the world. And while it may not be ideal, poor job Warner has done with DC, given, it can also open a new chapter for the struggling Wizarding World, a where films finally moved away from the dark wizard trop and in more diverse stories.
This will not be easy because the franchise has suffered significant damage, but nothing is impossible, and one thing is certain: the audience is still loyal to the brand. Fans are open to new wizarding world stories – AO3 and Whatpad are enough to prove it. Your move, then, Warner.
