Harry Potter: The Return of the Dark Lord (2025)
As of January 2025, there is no official confirmation or credible information regarding a new film titled Harry Potter: The Return of the Dark Lord. The original Harry Potter film series concluded with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 in 2011.
Recently, fan-made concept trailers have surfaced online, imagining a continuation of the series under the title Harry Potter: The Return of the Dark Lord. These trailers, while creatively crafted, are unofficial and not associated with Warner Bros. or J.K. Rowling. For instance, a concept trailer titled “Harry Potter: The Return of the Dark Lord (2025) – First Trailer” has been published on YouTube.
It’s important to note that while these fan-made trailers have generated interest, they do not indicate any official plans for a sequel or continuation of the original film series. However, Warner Bros. has announced plans to reboot the Harry Potter series as a television show, with each season dedicated to one of J.K. Rowling’s original seven books. This series is expected to be released on HBO in 2026.
In the meantime, fans can explore new experiences within the Wizarding World. Universal Orlando Resort has unveiled plans for a new themed area, “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Ministry of Magic,” set to open in 2025. This attraction will feature immersive experiences based on the Fantastic Beasts series and the broader Harry Potter universe.
