10 Perfect Movie Ideas To Bring Harry Potter Back

2. The New Order

Harry Potter Voldemort
Warner Bros.

Like Star Wars, Harry Potter rhymes in narrative terms: there were two wizarding wars, Harry lost his father figures at least twice, and the generations reflected in far more ways than that. It would make sense then that the third generation (and the second generation of films) would reflect an element of the first.

One of the most intriguing possibilities to that end would be to have Harry bring together a new Order Of The Phoenix to combat a new rising threat (or an old one, given the appeal of somehow bringing Voldemort back). Clearly, Warner Bros would probably be careful not to draw comparisons with the Nazi New Order, but there's no need to rigidly stick to that title.

A more personal ensemble combatting a dark magical threat - with Bill Weasley as the new werewolf, Ron and Harry as Aurors, Teddy Lupin as a Metamorphmagus and Neville Longbottom as a Herbology expert would be a great way to bring the gang back together. And family and that sort of familiar dynamic is precisely what made the first series work so well.
