Welcome to a special breaking news edition of Mugglecast. Why are you laughing?

I shouldn't laugh. It's, this is business.

This is very serious. We're in the situation room right now.

Our phones went off like crazy last night, but we didn't see the alerts till this morning.

Yes, yes, let's go with that. Many people were texting me about this. Netflix is going to

buy Warner Brothers in an $83 billion deal. And the reason we wanted to do a breaking news edition

of Mugglecast is because Warner Brothers, of course, owns Harry Potter. So what does this mean for Harry Potter, the movies, the upcoming TV show, and any other

projects?

No, this is exciting, I think, in a lot of ways, because we've talked so many times on the

podcast about what the future of Harry Potter looks like.

And obviously, we have the TV show that's not that far off.

But I think this opens the door for a lot more possibilities

in terms of spinoffs and seeing some other stories

in the Wizarding World Universe that maybe, you know, just weren't possible

based on the current relationship that exists with Warner Brothers.

Yeah, the current relationship and the current creative drive at the company, I guess I would

say as well.

I mean, Netflix is going to want to make their money back on, what was it again?

Their $83 billion investment.

So they're going to want to green light some major projects.

They're going to make them some money.

And you have to think Harry Potter will be a top priority for them.
