Why Isn’t There A Harry Potter And The Cursed Child Movie In The Works Yet?

No one can blame fans for wanting Harry Potter and The Cursed Child on the big screen. The chances of seeing Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint reprising their famous roles, or even seeing the original West End cast stepping into those shoes once more, is too good to pass up. But in the grand scheme of things, patience is the word fans of any stage play or musical should keep in mind when waiting for the jump to the local box office. After all, it took Phantom of the Opera’s musical form 18 years to make it to Hollywood, with Les Miserables seeing 32 years come and go before getting a film adaptation, and Cats closing in on almost four decades by time it drops in theaters this December. So while we’re not saying that it’ll be impossible for Harry Potter and The Cursed Child to one day become a big budget motion picture spectacular, we’d definitely suggest that because of the prudent factors above, it may not happen tomorrow or even next year.
