Harry Potter's TV reboot holds bags of potential, to become one of the biggest streaming shows. The Wizarding World is one of the most bold and imaginative fantasy franchises, capturing the imaginations of audiences young and old. One of the most appealing aspects of Harry Potter is the fantastic beasts. After Warner Bros. recently confirmed Francesca Gardiner to be the showrunner, fans are sharing which creatures they are most looking forward to seeing adapted for the small screen.

These magical beings are incredibly interesting, bringing a sense of awe and wonder to the Wizarding World. While some of these fantastical animals have already been seen in the Harry Potter films, a TV Series grants the opportunity for the production team to showcase more of these remarkable species. The show would be wise to remember that the series' fantastic beasts are almost as essential as the witches and wizards themselves.

10 The Chameleon Ghoul's Abilities Could Lead To Some Tense Scenes

The Chameleon Ghoul is a fascinating Harry Potter creature that is first mentioned by Hermione Granger in Chamber Of Secrets. Its ability to disguise itself as an everyday object could lead to some tense scenes, as the students are unknowingly stalked by the ghoul throughout Hogwarts.

Harry Potter's Chameleon Ghoul has yet to be depicted in live action, making the TV Series the ideal time to bring it to life. Their clear potential is demonstrated in the LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 video game, where they take on the forms of statues and flying books for players to fight. This could make for some brilliantly dramatic sequences, concerning Harry and his friends battling the Chameleon Ghoul's various disguises.

9 Dragons Have Been Involved in Harry Potter's Most Exhilarating Moments

Among the most common features of fantasy stories are dragons, and Harry Potter includes several variations of these fiery beasts. They are regarded by many to be one of Harry Potter's most powerful magical creatures, reflecting the exciting possibilities they hold for the TV reboot.

Dragons have been involved in many of Harry Potter's most exhilarating moments, like the Triwizard Tournament's First Task, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione's escape from Gringotts in The Deathly Hallows. They are also the subject of one of Harry Potter's most charming storylines, concerning Hagrid's unwise attempt to raise a baby Norwegian Ridgeback in his hut, which could provide the perfect subplot for the show's first season.

8 The Blast-Ended Skrewts' Repulsive Nature Could Provide Plenty of Comedy

Hagrid has an unfortunate reputation for his fascination with dangerous beasts. A case in point is Harry Potter's Blast-Ended Skrewts, which are delightfully weird. They are an unusual cross-breed of Manticores and Fire Crabs. The Blast-Ended Skrewts would be a good way to introduce new viewers to the Wizarding World's more outlandish side.

Their repulsive nature could provide plenty of comedy, with the Harry Potter books describing how they smell like rotten fish. They are also extremely lethal, shooting fire from their backsides, making them a compelling threat to Harry and his friends. Harry Potter's TV Series would be the first time they'd be depicted in live-action, having never featured in the films, making their screen adaptation long overdue.

7 The Nifflers Would Suit Sorcerer's Stone's Whimsical Tone

The Wizarding World's Nifflers are undoubtedly among the best parts of the Fantastic Beasts movies - which are considered some of the best long fantasy movies. Their lack of involvement in the mainline Harry Potter saga is disappointing. The TV reboot would be an ample opportunity for the Nifflers' debut in the main Harry Potter stories.

Integrating them into the Harry Potter series would be simple. The Nifflers could be running amok around Gringotts during Harry and Hagrid's visit in Sorcerer's Stone, and stealing Sickles and Knuts from unsuspecting wizards. In the books, they are introduced during a Care Of Magical Creatures lesson in The Goblet Of Fire, which could be adapted easily for the television program.

6 The Acromantulas Provide Tons of Potential for Some Horrifying Scenes

Harry Potter's Acromantulas represent Hagrid's questionable faith in several menacing beasts. A key Chamber Of Secrets scene shows Harry and Ron following his instructions to "follow the spiders," to learn the truth regarding the Chamber's initial opening. It's one of Harry Potter's most pivotal scenes and is an essential inclusion for the reboot.

The Acromantulas are terrifying in the early Harry Potter books. Ron's fear of spiders and the Acromantulas' desire to eat the children provides a ton of potential for some great moments of horror. Aragog's friendship with Hagrid also demonstrates the unique relationship that the Hogwarts gamekeeper holds with this world's fantastic beasts, which would be lost if the Acromantulas were removed from the TV reboot.

5 The Hippogriffs Are Majestic Beings

Hippogriffs are considered one of Harry Potter's greatest mounts. These majestic beings can provide an unforgettable experience for those who choose to ride them. Since their debut in Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban, the Hippogriffs have been a firm fan favorite, making them ideal for inclusion in the TV Series.

Harry's breathtaking ride over the Hogwarts grounds is one of the most magical sequences from Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban. It's a rare moment of light relief in an otherwise dark story and is therefore essential to break up the story's more grim scenes. Buckbeak's planned execution also plays an important role in Prisoner Of Azkaban's plot, with his subsequent escape helping Sirius flee from Hogwarts.

4 The Thestrals Symbolize Harry's Grief for Cedric's Death

The Thestrals are a natural fit for Harry Potter's later stories. The adventures of the Boy Who Lived get progressively darker during his Hogwarts years, and these creepy creatures represent the series' growing number of deaths. Removing the Thestrals from the Harry Potter reboot would leave a big gap in the TV Series.

The Thestrals bring a great sense of tragedy to Harry Potter, owing to how they can only be seen by those who have seen someone die. They tie in thematically with Harry's arc of coming to terms with Cedric's demise, due to how Harry is unable to see them until Cedric is killed by Peter Pettigrew, symbolizing how his grief towards Cedric consumes him.

3 The House Elves Were Poorly Represented in the Harry Potter Movies

The Harry Potter movies' adaptation of House Elves was disappointing. One of the saga's biggest failings is how Dobby's death has less of an emotional impact because he features significantly less in the films than in the books. The Harry Potter reboot could improve on this by giving Dobby — who is in some of the best Harry Potter books — a bigger role.

The reboot could reinstate key segments from the Harry Potter books, like Dobby being the one to give Harry the Gillyweed, and his friendship with Winky. The movies also omitted one of the greatest subplots, concerning Hermione's SPEW campaign to free the House Elves, which could be a major talking point for the TV Series.

2 The Harry Potter TV Series Could Dive Deeper Into Centaur Society

Among the most iconic Forbidden Forest residents are Harry Potter's Centaurs, who can either be a help or a hindrance to the Wizarding World. The Harry Potter TV Show has the chance to build up the Centaur community as a credible threat to villains such as Umbridge and Voldemort and dive deeper into their society.

Some of the most compelling scenes regarding the Centaurs involve their use of astronomy to predict the future. It creates a captivating conflict between Firenze and Professor Trelawney, who both have differing approaches to Divination. Firenze's Harry Potter storyline is also tragic, being cast out by his herd for teaching human pupils at Hogwarts, which could provide a moving subplot for the program.

1 The Dementors Are Especially Topical in Modern Society

Harry Potter's Dementors are terrifying, haunting Harry during Prisoner Of Azkaban and Order Of The Phoenix. Including them in the Harry Potter reboot is sure to unsettle new viewers, lingering in their memories long after the episodes have aired.

The most unnerving element regarding the Dementors is how they act as a metaphor for depression, sucking the souls out of their victims and leaving them feeling hollow. It makes them particularly topical in the modern age, where mental health has become a significant issue. Harry Potter's Dementors are also responsible for one of the franchise's biggest punch-the-air moments, seeing Harry successfully cast Expecto Patronum to save his past self, which could make for a powerful scene for the program.
