A new report that HBO Max is developing a TV series set in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter has fans losing their collective minds. Whether it’s yelling that they want more, yelling that nobody want it, yelling about JK Rowling’s online fight against trans rights, or yelling about what the show should look like, social media lit up today with hot take after hot take about a show that may or may not ever get out of the early development stage.

James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew created the Marauders Map and became known for their thrilling antics while at the wizarding school.
