Framestore isn’t new to Rowling’s world. These VFX wizards were behind the iconic visuals in all eight Harry Potter films. Remember Buckbeak’s majestic flight in The Prisoner of Azkaban? That took 90 artists 15 months to perfect over 80 shots. And let’s not forget Dobby, the House Elf who won hearts (and maybe made us cry a little). Framestore’s team turned Rowling’s imagination into cinematic reality.
The Deal is Brewing
Warner Bros. Discovery hasn’t signed anything yet, but Framestore seems to be at the top of their list. Other VFX companies are reportedly in the mix too, but if anyone knows how to bring the wizarding world to life, it’s these Oscar-winning pros. Framestore snagged Academy Awards for their jaw-dropping work on Gravity and Blade Runner 2049, proving they’ve got the magic touch beyond just wizards.
A Return to Hogwarts
If this deal goes through, fans can expect Framestore’s signature style to shine in this fresh adaptation. From Quidditch matches to spellbinding duels, Framestore could be about to make the wizarding world feel bigger and bolder than ever before.
No official comments from Warner Bros. or Framestore yet—but the anticipation is real. Will Framestore secure the deal? If so, Hogwarts might just feel like home again.
