HBO is reportedly locking in ‘Harry Potter’ Season 2 casting before Season 1 airs

One post questions HBO’s long-range planning for ‘Harry Potter,’ saying Season 2 casting is already being locked in before Season 1 has aired. It acknowledges the production logic but asks whether the franchise is moving too quickly. Separately, WW_Direct, sharing a Deadline interview, says J.K. Rowling is creatively involved and quotes HBO CEO Casey Bloys as saying her views have caused no difficulty casting the series: “not even a little bit.”
