A cult saga
Between 2001 and 2011, the saga Harry Potter enchanted millions of fans around the world. Through 8 films, the magic has worked on the screen, because it is one of the most lucrative licenses of film history.
Moreover, the saga Harry Potter brought its share of cult and memorable scenes for fans and actors. For example, everyone remembers an exchange between Draco and Voldemort.
In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Voldemort rises to power in the Battle of Hogwarts. He then asks resisters to join him. Which Draco reluctantly does.
Voldemort therefore welcomes him and hugs him. A cult scene, and above all improvised. “He gave me perhaps the least engaging hug ever filmed. Even on the set, it chilled me”explains Tom Felton in his memoirs.
Other scenes from Harry Potter have been difficult for actors to play. Like all those taking place in the Great Hall. The banquet scenes spread odors that were too strong, because of the abundance of food.
Anyway, these scenes contributed to the success ofHarry Potter. Besides, the saga may not be over. Rumors surrounding the adaptation of the play The cursed child circulate. MCE TV tells you more!

In 2016, nine years after the release of the last novel Harry Potter, a new book on the famous hero with the scar is born. This is the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
In this play, JK Rowling recounts the fate of Albus, one of Harry Potter’s sons, upon his arrival at Hogwarts. Everything between past and present, more than nineteen years after the events of Harry Potter.
The book had a enormous commercial success, with millions of copies sold worldwide. The play is even performed at the theatre.
Indeed, since 2016 she has occupied the Palace Theater in London. It has just passed on November 13 last the 1000 performances. Unbelievable !
And after the theater, the idea of an adaptation to the cinema makes sense. At least that’s the opinion of Warner Bros. For years, the studio has not hidden the desire to relaunch the saga Harry Potter on the big screen.
First with the saga of Fantastic Beastsand now with the cursed child ? Some sources claim that David Zaslav, CEO and Chairman of Warner would count on it ” personally “.
The businessman had already expressed his desire to work with JK Rowling in the past. It remains to be seen if this will happen for the adaptation of the cursed child. Case to follow!
