I think we're going to find out when the HBO show gets cancelled before finishing the books exactly how much cache Harry Potter still has as a series. Nostalgic Millenials (minus most of the LGBT ones) can only carry a series so far and it's not like the Fantastic Beasts films created a new generation of Potterheads.
I like your optimism and wish I could share it. I guess the last Fantastic Beasts flopped pretty bad

The only way I see them completing is the Warner Discovery executives feeding it money purely for ideological reasons. Zaslav is a huge cheap ass, so there's a viable chance it gets canned after a season or two.
But hasn't David Zazlav specifically stated multiple times that he wants to prioritize and boost conservative content to make an ideologically "balanced" media empire that focuses on conservatives and the right wing of the Democratic party equally?
It's a competition between the ideologically driven part of Zaslav's brain and the fucking cheap ass part of Zaslav's brain.
