The boy who lived might just live again. In what is good news for Harry Potter fans who have long been clamoring for more, Chris Columbus, the director of the first two Harry Potter films, revealed in a Monday interview with Entertainment Weekly Radio that he is interested in making another film about the wizarding trio of Harry, Hermione, and Ron — perhaps one that explains what happened to them after the end of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows but before that book's epilogue, which jumps 19 years into the future.
"I would love to go back and do another one," Columbus told Entertainment Weekly. "Not [Harry Potter prequel] Fantastic Beasts as much, which I think is going to be amazing, but I would love to do another movie with those three characters — Harry, Hermione, and Ron. I'm just fascinated about what happened to them after the end of the last movie, because then they cut to [19] years ahead. There's [19] years there of great Harry Potter stories."
