Warner Bros. CEO Ann Sarnoff has revealed that the studio would "love" to further explore the world of Harry Potter.

"We would love to develop more original Harry Potter series, and we regularly talk to JK Rowling and her team," Sarnoff said at a conference hosted by Bloomberg (via The Hollywood Reporter). "It’s got to be right though. Whatever we do has to be true to the canon, and true to the ethos of the Wizarding World, and who Harry is."

However, our next venture into the Potter-verse will be to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (AKA Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the US and India) with a reunion of the cast, including leading trio Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson.

"Have we thought about going back to day and date? Sure, we thought about it, but we have made our commitments to the theaters, to the agents, to the talent," she said. "Everyone was hoping we would be on the other side of the pandemic by now."
