In 2025, Warner Bros. Discovery was almost acquired by Netflix, giving the streaming giant rights not just to DC franchises but also to Harry Potter. The deal was so close to happening that Netflix once published key art featuring Daniel Radcliffe‘s Harry alongside Millie Bobby Brown‘s Stranger Things character, Eleven. Now, that deal has gone south and Paramount will soon acquire Warner Bros.’ Discovery, but that doesn’t stop Netflix from taking a piece of the Wizarding World with them.
Years after the release of the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films, HBO Max premiered a reunion special, Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts, featuring some of the original cast and crew from the eight films released from 2001 to 2011. One of the people behind the special was Mohammed Adnan, who’s listed as the development producer. Now, he announces a career jump to Netflix.
On Adnan’s LinkedIn page, he announced that he’s joining Netflix as a manager of documentary series in the U.S., leaving Story Film Limited. Adnan shared his excitement about working alongside “some of the world’s most talented storytellers” and about what’s ahead. According to a recent report, his Story Films’ founders, Peter Beard and David Nath, commented on Adnan’s departure from the company, stating:
“Adnan is a truly talented creative and lovely person – we have been proud to have him as part of the team at Story. We know he will go on to further success at Netflix and we wish him all the very best in this next exciting chapter.”
Meanwhile, on LinkedIn, Beard commented on Adnan’s announcement, congratulating him on his new role, joking that he would like him to commission his future work, and that he’s sad to see him go.
“Huge congratulations Adnan. You’re the best (I’m not just saying that because I want commissions, you actually are). I’m sad to see you go but excited to see the amazing projects you’ll green light. “

01
What quality do you value most in yourself? Answer as honestly as you can — the Hat always knows.

A friend is being treated unfairly. What do you do? How you protect others says everything about who you are.
03
What does success look like to you? What you’re working toward defines who you’re becoming.
04

The Sorting Hat Speaks Your House Has Been Chosen
After careful deliberation, the Sorting Hat has made its decision. This is the house your values, your instincts, and your particular way of being in the world were made for.
Gryffindor Tower · Scarlet & Gold
🦁 Gryffindor
You have nerve. Not the reckless kind, but the deep, quiet courage that shows up even when you’re terrified — especially then.
Gryffindors don’t act because they’re fearless — they act because they understand that some things are worth being afraid for.
You stand up for people when it would be easier to look away.
You charge toward what’s right even when the odds are terrible.
Harry, Hermione, Ron — the heroes of Hogwarts’s greatest chapter — all called the tower with the scarlet and gold home. And now, so do you.
Slytherin Dungeon · Emerald & Silver
🐍 Slytherin
You are driven, sharp, and utterly clear-eyed about what you want and how to get there.
Slytherin has long been misunderstood — painted as the house of villains when it is, at its best, the house of those who refuse to accept limits placed on them by others.
You are resourceful, strategic, and you play the long game.
You know your worth. You protect your own fiercely.
The dungeon common room with its view of the Black Lake is yours — and the ambitions that will take you further than anyone expects are yours too.
Hufflepuff Basement · Yellow & Black
🦡 Hufflepuff
You are the kind of person that makes the world genuinely better just by being in it.
Hufflepuff is not the “safe” house or the “leftover” house — it is the house of those with the greatest heart and the most unwavering integrity.
You show up. You work hard. You don’t need glory or recognition — you do what’s right because it’s right.
Your loyalty never wavers, even when tested.
Nymphadora Tonks, Cedric Diggory, Newt Scamander — some of the wizarding world’s finest. And now you join them.
Ravenclaw Tower · Blue & Bronze
🦅 Ravenclaw
Your mind is your greatest gift, and you’ve always known it.
Ravenclaws are the thinkers, the questioners, the ones who find a puzzle irresistible and a good book better company than most people.
Ravenclaw is not merely about intelligence — it’s about the love of learning, the pursuit of truth, and the rare courage to admit you don’t know something yet.
You see the world with unusual clarity and depth.
Luna Lovegood, Filius Flitwick, Rowena Ravenclaw herself — all extraordinary, all original. And so are you.
What Documentaries Does Netflix Have?
Aside from original fiction, dramatized content based on true stories, and licensed content, Netflix also offers documentaries. One of the most recent was Michael Jackson: The Verdict, which premiered on June 3, 2026, a week after the Michael biopic entered theaters. The series examines Michael Jackson‘s 2005 trial, where the King of Pop was accused of sexually abusing a minor at his Neverland ranch, which led to a not guilty verdict from the jury. The documentary features interviews with those involved in the case, including jurors, eyewitnesses, and journalists. Other documentaries on Netflix include Eat the Rich: The GameStop Saga and Unknown Number: The High School Catfish, as well as mockumentaries like Cunk on Earth and Death To 2020.
Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts is available to stream on HBO Max. Follow Collider for more updates.
