10 Perfect Movie Ideas To Bring Harry Potter Back

10. The Return Of Voldemort

As long as there is Harry Potter, there will be a call for his greatest foe to return, or at least for him to play a key role in the narrative. Even if the Dark Lord isn't simply ret-conned back into existence (and that wouldn't be all that hard with some creativity), Rowling could do what Star Wars have done with Kylo Ren. Namely, they could introduce a second generation of fanatics who wish to use Dark Magic to revive him.

The question of Time Turners is already one that The Cursed Child explores, so there is precedent there too. And who doesn't love a time travel movie?

Or they could simply have the shadow of Voldemort rising in Harry's subconscious as his new followers rise to prominence - similar to how Rocksteady did the Joker's post-mortem presence in Arkham Knight. The idea of Ralph Fiennes haunting Potter is just glorious when you think about it.

Chances are, JK Rowling and Warner Bros will choose to move away from their former big bad (not least to imply longevity in new characters), but it would still be a big deal for fans of the series. Particularly for those - like me - who were never quite convinced that Harry was the only Horcrux that could be destroyed without destruction of the host. What if they didn't do it properly?
