Franchise veteran David Yates definitively addresses whether he will be returning as a director for Max’s announced Harry Potter reboot show.
Harry Potter director David Yates comments on whether he will be returning in any capacity for the announced TV remake. Based on the beloved novels by author J.K. Rowling, the first Harry Potter in 2001 spawned a series of popular sequels and spinoffs. With the main saga having concluded back in 2011, Max announced earlier this year that TV show adaptation of Rowling's book was in development.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT As news on the announced Harry Potter TV show remains hard to come by, Yates was asked during a recent interview with ComicBook.com whether he will be lending his talents to the Max original. Although it sounds like the director still has a fondness for the material, audiences shouldn't expect him to be a part of the announced project.
"Do you know what? Honestly, I could not, in any conceivable way, get involved. It’s simply: I spent a long time at that school, in those corridors and in those classrooms, and it was an exquisite experience and one I will always treasure. But to go back and do another year or two, for me, I feel I've left it.
"I wish that show so well, it's gonna be amazing to see them re-explore all it can be for the next generation. I think it'll be a challenge for everyone involved, but it's a very exciting enterprise and I wish it well. It was an amazing experience for me, and I know the other filmmakers who were involved, and it will be for the next generation of filmmakers."
