Why did Chris Columbus Leave the Harry Potter franchise?
Who does not like Harry Potter franchises, the thrill, the adventure and the excitement each and every evolving franchise has provided us is insane, but do you know the name behind the biggest fiction franchise in the world is Chris Columbus?
Well, as reported so far he has left JK Rowling’s novel adaptations and what is the reason behind it? The reason behind his exiting the directional front of the franchise is to spend more time with his family and take some time for himself, the fact that he has been associated with the franchise for so long, even build a huge work strain on him.
As per reports and as per the statements made by the director, he has stated that through these whole years of working and being the director of the Harry Poter franchise, he was not getting even time for his family and for himself and the huge burden, the stress the workload was giving him made him less energetic to do continue making films of the franchise for a lot more than long years.
At the start, Chris thought that he had the motivation and the intention to direct all seven films but on the other side of it when it came to the actual practice, the director was lacking enough energy to continue directing films for the franchise.
Will Chris Columbus ever join the Harry Potter franchise?
Well, on the other side, the director Chris has left the franchise but on another side of the story, he is now wanting to direct another Harry Potter film, and therefore namely he would adapt the stage play ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, into the film with the original cast.
He wants this film to include all the original cast of the film including Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and various others. However, it looks like that might be a very big and a little impossible task for him since the original Harry Potter actors have already moved on with their life and want to flourish in their careers with some new genres and new roles.
But also as per Daniel, he believes in the idea of re-returning if he is offered any, therefore if all this came true then we can probably see the visionary film turning into reality.
