The magical world of Harry Potter may have wrapped up Harry, Hermione, and Ron’s journey, but for fans, the universe still holds countless untold stories. With a vast history, rich characters, and unexplored corners of wizarding life, spin-offs offer a fresh opportunity to revisit the world JK Rowling built, without repeating the same narratives.
Harry Potter Spin-off Ideas That Fans Would Love
Here are seven Harry Potter spin-off ideas that fans would love to see.
Founding: The Rise of Hogwarts
Long before Hogwarts became the legendary school of witchcraft and wizardry, it was just an idea. A spin-off following the four founders, Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Helga Hufflepuff, could bring to life an era full of ancient magic, rival clans, and internal conflicts. Watching them create a sanctuary in a divided magical world would offer both high-stakes drama and rich lore.
Malfoy: Legacy of the Cursed Name
Draco Malfoy’s arc during the Harry Potter series hints at more complexity than we were shown. What happened to him after the war? A spin-off focused on Draco, his struggle for redemption, his relationship with his son Scorpius, and life post-Voldemort, could humanise a character often dismissed as a villain. As the concept suggests, maybe there's more to Malfoy than just a sneer.
The Ministry of Magic and Mysteries
The wizarding government always held secrets, especially in the Department of Mysteries. A political thriller set within the Ministry could explore corruption, magical law enforcement, and the hidden threats that never reached the public eye. As the idea puts it, who wouldn't want to see the darker side of wizarding bureaucracy?

The House of Black
Sirius Black remains one of the most loved characters in the series, but his family background was only briefly touched upon. A series exploring the Black family, known for its pure-blood ideology, internal feuds, and tragic downfalls, would give fans a closer look at pride, rebellion, and dark magic. It’s a rich, Shakespearean world waiting to be unpacked.
The Weasley Chronicles
Few families are as cherished as the Weasleys. A lighthearted, magical dramedy that follows their everyday chaos, sibling dynamics, and heartfelt moments would hit the right balance between warmth and wonder. A show like this would feel like home, just with a lot more spellwork.
Voldemort: Roots of Ruin
Before becoming the most feared dark wizard of all time, he was just a boy named Tom Riddle. A darker, psychological origin story that charts his transformation into Voldemort would explore the fragile line between genius and evil. As the pitch goes, It's the origin story we're both scared of... and intrigued by.
Wizards of the World: The Secret Schools
The magical world isn’t limited to the UK. Spin-offs focusing on schools like Beauxbatons (France), Durmstrang (Northern Europe), or Uagadou (Africa) would offer fresh narratives, new spells, and cultural perspectives that haven’t been explored yet. “Potterheads would love to see magic beyond the UK.” And it’s about time the franchise looked outward.
The Harry Potter universe has more stories than one hero’s journey.
