10 Perfect Movie Ideas To Bring Harry Potter Back

8. Malfoy's Revenge

Harry Potter Voldemort
Warner Bros.

Though The Cursed Child explores the legacy of Voldemort and the status of the Malfoy family, if that isn't classed as cinematic canon, Rowling (or whoever scripts potential sequel-spin-offs) could go down a similar thread.

To put it plainly, you do not name a character Scorpius Malfoy without some intention to make him at least aspire to be a supervillain. He could very easily be presented as a Hogwarts student poisoned by the ghosts of history (perhaps literally propelled to darkness by the ghosts within Hogwarts) and determined to reclaim his family honour.

That would lead Harry - in his job at the Ministry to investigate what appears to be a rise in activity of Voldemort's followers - to suspect Draco as Scorpius experiments more and loses himself to the Dark Arts. And centring on a student-age character would mean Hogwarts as well as the Ministry could play as much of a part as in the original film series.
