What is The Marauders: The Wizarding War?
Currently in the writing process, our show will explore the most interesting untold annals of the Harry Potter lore: the stories of James Potter, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black & Peter Pettigrew from the end of their time in Hogwarts, through the war between the Order of the Phoenix and Voldemort, to the moment Lily Potter's love for Harry vanquished the Dark Lord.
How long will the show be?
The Marauders will be a 7 part miniseries, with each episode title named after a spell, Episode 1 being titled Lumos!
- Each episode will be between 20-30 minutes.
- Certain episodes will focus in on tertiary characters such as Regulus Black, with the show not only exploring the stories of The Marauders, but also the Death Eaters.
The focus of the show:
We feel as storytellers and filmmakers that the most important thing for The Marauders, beyond how cool it will be for fans to see events we have only ever read about jump to the screen, is for it to be a character driven story.
- In a similar approach to the best prequel stories like Better Call Saul and even recently Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, we want to deepen the experience of watching and reading Harry Potter by taking the emotional hold of characters like Remus, Sirius and Severus Snape and dialling them up to 11.
What we need and how to help:
With the ambition we have for this project and how much we've grown to care for it since its inception, we've come to see the kind of budget something like this needs and frankly we're surprised it's never been done before, but we need you, the fan's help, to make it happen.
- Please consider helping by supporting and donating to this crowdfund
- If you aren't capable of giving money, the best thing to do is to spread word to any Harry Potter fans you now, use the power of word of mouth and we will get this thing out there to people who can donate: share, share share!
No Matter how you help, you have our gratitude, Nox!
And that's all there is to it.
