Ten points to Gryffindor.
On Wednesday, HBO announced that the planned “Harry Potter” TV series had found its showrunner and executive producers: “Succession” alums Francesca Gardiner (who will write and executive produce) and Mark Mylod (also a “Game of Thrones,” alum, who will executive produce and direct several episodes).
Author J.K. Rowling, 58, took to X (formerly Twitter) to post that she’d “interviewed” both Gardiner and Mylod and was “thrilled to announce [them] as our director and writer.”
“Both have a genuine passion for #HarryPotter, and having read Francesca’s pilot script and heard Mark’s vision, I’m certain the TV show will more than live up to expectations,” Rowling shared.

“The stories from each of Rowling’s Harry Potter books will become a decade-long series produced with the same epic craft, love and care this global franchise is known for,” the platform said in its press release about the show.
“The series will feature a new cast to lead a new generation of fandom, full of the fantastic detail, much loved characters and dramatic locations that Harry Potter fans have loved for over 25 years.”
Rowling — whose controversial stance on transgender issues has prompted “Potter” stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson to publicly disagree — will be involved in the show as an executive producer.

Radcliffe himself, now 34, recently told “E! News” that he “doesn’t think” he’ll appear in the new show.
“I think they very wisely want to [have] a clean break. And I don’t know if it would work to have us do anything in it,” he said.
Radcliffe — who starred as the Boy Who Lived in the original movies for a decade, from 2001-2011 — told the outlet, “I’m very happy to just watch along with everyone else.”
When asked how he’d respond if Max asked him to appear on the show, the newly minted Tony winner said, “I’m gonna be a politician about this, and not deal in hypotheticals.”

James and Oliver Phelps, who played mischievous twins Fred and George Weasley in the movies, weren’t as quick to shut down the possibility of appearing in the show.
“I suppose so. It’s one of those things where it’s never really a chapter closed in your life,” Oliver, 38, told The Post in July.
“Whether [we’d appear in the show as] our characters, that’s a totally different thing — we’re not quite looking like high schoolers anymore! If it does happen, we only know as much as you do. But, it’s nice that there’s a lot of intrigue around the show.”

James chimed in, “We’ve got a very close bond with a lot of the Potter cast. Because it’s like friends from high school or college. You’ve gone through a lot together.”
HBO has not yet announced a premiere date for the “Harry Potter” TV series.
