Chris Columbus would love to return to the Harry Potter franchise

It’s virtually straightforward to overlook however Chris Columbus helmed the primary two installments of the Harry Potter franchise. Whereas Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets had been vastly profitable, it may very well be argued that Columbus didn’t actually put a major visible stamp on the movies and so they didn’t actually hit their stride till the third movie, The Prisoner of Azkaban, which noticed Alfonso Cuaron taking on on the helm. We may most likely debate all day about which Harry Potter movie is our favourite however Columbus does deserve some credit score for kicking issues off with the franchise. With murmurs of there being a big-screen adaptation of Harry Potter and The Cursed Little one within the works and with The Sorcerer’s Stone approaching its twentieth anniversary this month, Columbus is expressing that he would like to return to the franchise.

Whereas talking with “Variety” concerning the twentieth anniversary of The Sorcerer’s Stone, Columbus was requested if he thinks there will probably be extra Harry Potter films to go together with the prequel sequence Unbelievable Beasts and the director mentioned, “I’d like to direct The Cursed Little one. It’s a terrific play and the youngsters are literally the precise age to play these roles. It’s a small fantasy of mine.”

Harry Potter and the Cursed Little one begins nineteen years after the occasions of the 2007 novel Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and follows Harry Potter, now Head of the Division of Magical Legislation Enforcement on the Ministry of Magic, and his youthful son, Albus Severus Potter, who’s about to attend Hogwarts Faculty of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The 2016 British two-part play was written by Jack Thorne and is predicated on an unique story by Harry Potter creator J.Ok. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Thorne.

I suppose choosing Chris Columbus to direct once more wouldn’t be a horrible alternative. These diversifications had been going to become profitable it doesn’t matter what so it actually comes all the way down to vital reception. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is 81% contemporary on Rotten Tomatoes and it was warmly acquired, grossing $1.007 billion worldwide. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and techniques adopted in 2002 and grossed $879.6 million globally and improved only a tad over its predecessor critically with an 82% on Rotten Tomatoes. For sure, he dealt with the primary two installments effectively sufficient however they didn’t hit their actual vital heights till after these movies.
