I Would Love To Do Another Movie: Harry Potter Director

Director of the first two Harry Potter movies, Chris Columbus can’t get enough of the trio, Harry, Ron and Hermoine. According to Entertainment Weekly Radio, the director wanted to make another movie in the Harry Potter franchise, stepping away from the ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ book. Chris Columbus also produced the third movie of the series.

He said, “I would love to go back and do another one. Not Fantastic Beasts as much, which I think is going to be amazing, but I would love to do another movie with those three characters — Harry, Hermione, and Ron. I’m just fascinated about what happened to them after the end of the last movie, because then they cut to 18 years ahead. There’s 18 years there of great Harry Potter stories”.

When asked if he revealed the idea of making another movie to author J.K. Rowling, he said, “She should do what she wants to do, but I really would love to know what’s in her head about those missing years”. The Harry Potter franchise has grossed $7.7 billion worldwide, since the first film in 2001. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 was responsible for $1.3 billion out of the total, making it the highest grossing film of the series.
