According The Hollywood Reporter, with the HBO adaptation of Harry Potter around the corner, it seems like some characters will be taking a detour from their known plot in the story. One of the characters venturing into new territory is  Draco Malfoy, played by Lox Pratt (Lord of the Flies). It is said that the first season of the series will show the home life of Malfoy.

“I think with this adaptation, you get to see so much more than the books,” said Pratt via The Hollywood Reporter during an interview with 1883 Magazine. “The books are very much over Harry’s shoulder, which is great, and that’s how they played in the film as well. And I think showrunner Francesca Gardiner and director Mark Mylod have been vocal about this in their interviews, there’s just so much more that you get to see. You get to see all the teachers in their little rooms. You get to see Draco at home. I won’t spoil too much about that, but there are some brilliant scenes at home where you start to get an insight into how he is.”

As per The Hollywood Reporter, Pratt is going around promoting the series and his role in  Jack Thorne’s new BBC adaptation of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. “The vibe on set is amazing,” Pratt told THR about Harry Potter. [Lucius Malfoy actor] Johnny Flynn’s wonderful. He’s a really wonderful man. I think we work pretty well as a duo on-screen, or I like to think we do. But he’s a lovely guy and he’s got a lot of aura.”

“The scope of the production, the detail, meticulousness of what they’re going through and what they’ve built takes theatrical to just a whole different level,” Warner Bros. Discovery’s CEO and president of global streaming, JB Perrette recently said via The Hollywood Reporter as he builds exitment for the series. “And so when you think of the love of that franchise and what you can do in a series — can go deeper, and tell more of the story, can tell more of the pieces that you didn’t get to capture in a two-hour movie — HBO Max chief Casey Bloys doesn’t like it when I say this, but I’m gonna say it anyway: I really think this is the streaming event of the decade.”

Harry Potter is expected to air on HBO Max in 2027.
