7 ‘Harry Potter’ Spinoffs That Could Be Even Better Than 'Fantastic Beasts'

Apr. 8 2022, Published 1:Fifty six p.m. ET

The 3rd movie in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, The Secrets of Dumbledore, is in any case popping out on April 15 in the United States, and April 8 in Europe and the United Kingdom. The franchise itself has been slightly a success; it seems inconceivable for anything on this planet of Harry Potter not to be. Even HBO Max’s Harry Potter: Hogwarts Tournament of Houses garnered enough perspectives for long term episodes. But we all have our personal ideas about doable spinoffs.

Now that HBO absolutely has the rights to the Harry Potter franchise and that the Fantastic Beasts franchise is greater than halfway carried out, we sought after to pitch some ideas for future Harry Potter spinoff ideas. The J.K. Rowling controversy is not lost on us, but between the myriad of fan fiction amongst the grand universe of magic, there are lots of spinoff ideas that true Potterheads would absolutely give a boost to. Here are seven of our favorite ideas, as a result of “seven is essentially the most powerfully magical number.”

‘Harry Potter’ Spinoff No. 1: Marauders’ Series

This may be the obvious spinoff thought, and has already been discussed amongst the truest of Harry Potter lovers. Either a sequence or a movie franchise, this series would characteristic a tender James Potter, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and Sirius Black when they had been Harry’s age, in addition to Severus Snape and Lily Evans. This would most certainly tie maximum closely to present canon, but we nonetheless want it more than anything.

‘Harry Potter’ Spinoff No. 2: Founders' Series

In this sequence, we’d get to meet Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Helga Hufflepuff as they pass in the course of the trials and tribulations of constructing Hogwarts. Period piece meets delusion meets legacy, this sequence could be a true staple in Harry Potter and wizarding world canon.

‘Harry Potter’ Spinoff No. 3: The Aurors and the Minister

Another sequence that ties at once into present film characters and canon, this could be an aurors’ sequence that mirrors many modern-day detective sequence. Every episode, Harry and Ron could be tasked with fighting off other magical maladies whilst Hermione rises to the submit of Minister of Magic. Ideally, because they're adults, this series can be extra grownup, complete with Hermione and Ron relationship struggles, unsolvable murders, and different grownup topics.

‘Harry Potter’ Spinoff No. 4: Quidditch Sports Saga

Television and film are full of their share of sports-themed serials, reminiscent of Friday Night Lights, Moneyball, Angels in the Outfield, Ted Lasso, and plenty of more. A Quidditch sequence may pass in any route, however by means of following the map of an current sports series, it could be a really fun magical parody of muggle sports activities (which is principally what Quidditch is to start with).

What if a Quidditch workforce brings in a muggle football coach to lead the workforce a los angeles Ted Lasso? Or Viktor Krum’s long run son has to grapple along with his father being the most important Quidditch megastar of all time? Even Ginny’s upward thrust to becoming a member of the Holyhead Harpies amidst a field of sexism in sports?

‘Harry Potter’ Spinoff No. 5: The Life and Times of Eloise Mintumble

If you haven’t heard of Eloise Mintumble, now not to concern. Even the biggest Potterheads have by no means heard of her! Eloise exists most effective at the Wizarding World website, however mainly serves as a caution for the possible risks of time touring. Back to the Future meets the tale of a tender witch short of to trade the sector, Eloise’s story could be one thing utterly new and different for Harry Potter fanatics.

Eloise Mintumble used to be mainly created to offset and give an explanation for J.K. Rowling’s dabbling in time commute, and her story would actually make Harry Potter and the Cursed Child non-canonical.

As the tale goes: “All such [time trip] experiments have been deserted since 1899, when Eloise Mintumble became trapped, for a duration of 5 days, within the 12 months 1402. Now we understand that her frame had aged five centuries in its go back to the existing and, irreparably broken, she died in St Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries in a while after we controlled to retrieve her.”

We want Eloise’s tale though!

‘Harry Potter’ Spinoff No. 6: Uagadou

In the world of Harry Potter, there are actually “Eleven original and prestigious wizarding schools international,” according to Wizarding World. There are also a number of smaller ones, but of the main ones, there’s one specifically that stands out: the Uagadou School in Africa.

Students be informed magic without wands, since wands are a European invention, they usually generally excel in astronomy, alchemy, and self-transfiguration. A new franchise about Uagadou could be like Black Panther meets Harry Potter and we are right here for it.

‘Harry Potter’ Spinoff No. 7: Rita Skeeter, an Anti-Hero

Possibly the most important identify in wizarding journalism, Rita Skeeter had moments of villainy and heroism all over the Harry Potter sequence (although mostly villainy). But we can’t say we don’t love a sequence from the viewpoint of “the journalist.” From Citizen Kane to The Morning Show, journalist stories reveal the corruption, scandal, and gossip of the sector. Now, we want the news of the wizarding international! With an unreliable anti-hero like Rita Skeeter, there’s no method this could cross flawed.
