"On February 10, Hasbro and Warner Bros. Discovery announced a massive licensing deal involving Harry Potter that will see the toy company become the de facto manufacturer of toys and merchandise for the Harry Potter franchise in 2027. Hasbro plans on making and selling "dolls, role play, action figures & collectibles, interactive plushes, and board games" with "more to be revealed later this year."
"On February 10, in response to a Reddit post mentioning Hasbro's big new licensing deals, a Wizards of the Coast rep denied any Harry Potter crossover was in the works despite its parent company jumping all in. "The Magic Multiverse has its own school of Magic at Strixhaven with plenty of secrets still to explore," said WOTC's community team on Reddit. "Our Universes Beyond roadmap currently doesn't have us visiting any others.""
Hasbro and Warner Bros. Discovery finalized a licensing deal that makes Hasbro the de facto manufacturer of Harry Potter toys and merchandise beginning in 2027. Hasbro will produce dolls, role play items, action figures and collectibles, interactive plushes, and board games, with additional products to be revealed. The upcoming Harry Potter series on HBO Max is expected to boost interest in the franchise. Wizards of the Coast confirmed that the Magic Multiverse includes Strixhaven and that the Universes Beyond roadmap currently does not include visiting other franchises such as Harry Potter. Fan concerns exist due to J.K. Rowling's public anti-trans positions and related activism.
