HBO has slowly revealed different cast members to build up the excitement among the fans. However, behind the scenes, hard work is taking place to create a show that people will be entertained by and worthy of intellectual property. Very little is known about how HBO will present Harry Potter, but Rowling revealed on X that she has read the script for the show's first two episodes, and she claimed that they are "SO, SO, SO GOOD!" On top of that, the Harry Potter author also confirmed her role in the series, revealing that she's not doing the writing for this show. However, Rowling is involved in the project, as she responded to a fan to say that she's "worked closely with the extremely talented writers."

It's a positive update for HBO's Harry Potter series, as Rowling is arguably the harshest critic of anything that is created to do with this franchise. She's someone who pushes for perfection when it comes to Harry Potter, and that will be clear to see throughout HBO's Harry Potter adaptation as she will want the story brought to life imaginatively and engagingly. Given HBO's added pressure of ensuring the television series lives up to the books and the movies, it will be a tough challenge not to disappoint people.

Rowling's seal of approval will be pleasing to Harry Potter fans, as they know that she will have high demands, and that will fall in line with what they are looking for. There is a built-in audience that will be eagerly awaiting the first season of HBO's show to drop, but they will also expect it to be fantastic for them to keep viewing the show in the long term, which is why it must start with a bang. That's what makes Rowling's update so positive, as it appears that the show will be starting impressively.

HBO's Harry Potter features a vibrant cast, with those in charge proving that they're happy to make bold decisions with who they hire to ensure that this version will feel different. Bringing in an American actor in John Lithgow to play Albus Dumbledore is an example of that, and those big risks are what will ultimately define HBO's Harry Potter. However, if they're able to strike a balance between exciting shocks and good-quality storytelling, then this version of Harry Potter could end up being something truly special.
