It’s been 20 years since the first Harry Potter movie hit theaters. When successful film franchises reach a certain age, and they continue to be remembered and produce money for their brands it makes sense that people start thinking about revisiting those worlds. The director of the first two Harry Potter films Chris Columbus interviewed with The Hollywood Reporter to commemorate the anniversary of the film. He obviously was asked about the possibility of coming back to the “Wizarding World” once again. Columbus wasn’t shy about sharing his thoughts and admitting that if given the chance he would love to revisit the franchise. He made a couple of comparisons though that may not make fans all too happy!

“I wasn’t seeing my kids, who were young at the time, growing up, I was missing dinners with them. I thought, ‘I can’t do another six, seven, eight years of this. My kids will grow up and I’ll never get to know them.”
He’d Be Happy To Be Let Back Into The Franchise For A Cursed Child Movie
“A version of Cursed Child with Dan, Rupert and Emma at the right age, it’s cinematic bliss. If you’re a film nerd or cinephile” Columbus then added, “To be able to actually see these adult actors now back in these roles? Oh, yeah. It would be amazingly fun to make that film — or two films,”
