Do we want to see this?

Did you think script-turned-book The Cursed Child would be the last you'd see of Harry Potter? Hold that thought.
Warner Bros may not be done with JK Rowling's Wizarding World just yet. The studio is reportedly wooing Daniel Radcliffe to take up the mantle of Harry Potter once again in a big screen adapation of the play. New York Daily News reported that the studio wants to resurrect the franchise and turn it into another film trilogy a la The Hobbit.
That might not be easy. In an interview with Radio Times, Radcliffe said, "The circumstances would have to be pretty extraordinary. But then I am sure Harrison Ford said that with Han Solo and look what happened there! So I am saying, ‘No,’ for now but leaving room to backtrack in the future.”
Warner Bros has already filed a new trademark for play. But JK Rowling shut down all rumours of The Cursed Child movies months before the book was even released.
You heard wrong, I'm afraid. #CursedChild is a play. #FantasticBeasts will be 3 movies, though! https://t.co/7tvw4rolcR

Since, the script is in two parts, each running two hours long as plays, there is enough for the movies to go on. But the book itself received mixed reactions from fans of the series with many feeling let down by the new addition to this fantasy universe.
So, Potterheads, would you be up for a Cursed Child trilogy?
