Game of thrones generated 2.2 billion in net profit for WB/HBO over 8 seasons. Harry Potter has a much larger captive audience and this would likely be at least 3x the revenue for them over 7 seasons. It’s entirely about the money.
But everyone already knows the story. There's no mystery, there's no surprise. All the charm is already gone, because everything they'll show has already been done, and likely done better.
Is this actually going to turn up a profit? I think that this will only make people appreciate the books and movies more. This will likely just turn into another failed reboot, barely worth the salaries of the actors, the price of production, and the costs of advertisement.
The movies left a lot out from the books, especially the 4th after. I’m betting it turns a massive profit, you forget the main viewership is teenage to middle aged women, there’s no way it doesn’t generate more revenue.
