- Tom Ascheim, president of Warner Bros. Global Kids, Young Adults, and Classics, said, ‘It has been an incredible journey since the debut of the Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone film, and witnessing how it has evolved into this remarkable interconnected universe has been magical, to say the least.
- ‘This retrospective is a tribute to everyone whose lives were touched by this cultural phenomenon – from the talented cast and crew who poured their heart and soul into this extraordinary film franchise to the passionate fans who continue to keep the Wizarding World spirit alive 20 years later.’
- The franchise spans seven mainline books of J. K. Rowling, which were adapted into eight films. The final film was released in 2011, ‘Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2’. Long after that, nothing was for the fans of their favorite franchise. Now they are expecting something great!
