For both movies and upcoming HBO series, toys coming in 2027.

Hasbro are truly collecting lots of licenses like Street Fighter, Voltron and now this. What's their endgame?

Acquiring live action shit that won’t sell apparently.
New potter mech based off of the new series will sit.

Harry Potter stuff based on the movies sells really well actually, so it’s no surprise really.

Oh wow! They've secured so many amazing IP!

They have Tron, a franchise that's so popular, it even has the amazing Jared Leto attached to it!

The new live-action Street Fighter, which will no doubt make as much as the original Street Fighter movie in the box office (not adjusted for inflation).

Voltron, this one will be big on Prime Video, folks! If it's big enough, we may even get a second movie for streaming!

And now Harry Potter, because all the girls love buying those Harry Potter dolls from Spin Master, just like how they all bought the Disney dolls from Hasbro!

Two things:

1.Every action figure line made of Harry Potter since 2001 has flopped. Mattel, NECA, McFarlane. Everybody's tried and they've never gotten past the mains. You're never gonna get any of the cool secondary and tertiary characters like Luna, Neville, The Weasley Twins, Bellatrix, Mad-Eye Moody.
It's gonna be fuckin' Harry, Harry, Snape, Harry, Dumbledoor, Harry and Voldemort. They're gonna be overpriced, soft sculpts, and mid paint apps. And I garuntee you they're gonna hike up the price with am unnecessary BAF.

2. They're probably thinking they're gonna make money on playable toys like wands, brooms and that kind of thing. They might, but the problem is that all the hardcore HP fans can already buy those expensive replica wands and props already and so they're really hoping that the kids will buy them.

Are kids still in to HP? Does anybody care about it since the last Fantastic Beasts movie?

Mattel just announced they got TMNT. On top of DC, Kpop demon hunters and their other brands they already have. They are going to murder Hasbro in action figure sales so Hasbro is just scrambling to get whatever they can.

Magic mechs seems like such a slam dunk idea. I know super robo is a thing but straight up magic infused mecha would be cool.

ikr. They keep talking about only licensing their IPs to other companies like they do with many to Super7 and with Rangers to Playmates. They want to be a video game or movie company so badly but can't make good games or movies

lego hp did pretty well initially iirc, and has had enough staying power that lego still releases sets despite some lull years
the smartest move for hasbro is to approach hp like they did with star wars back in the day, which is to have a good mix of figures and playsets
even shit like simple classroom facades could sell well if they were appealing to kids

They can plug it into mtg in one of the UB sets. it'll be a massive selling set, and another nail in the coffin of magic.

People are more interested in the props, not the toys.

They want their own house scarf, time turner, wand, and jellybeans. HP toys are all mundane or awkward looking British people in pajamas. No one ever really cared about those. They want to roleplay as themselves going to Hogwarts.

I'm wondering how different the series art aesthetic is going to be since WB has spent a lot of money investing in three theme parks that take place in movie locations, with all the same trappings, same props, same designs everywhere and all the costumes and toys for sale within. The latest one just opening less than a year ago.

Harry Potter has the same problem as Star Trek. The setting is fascinating for audiences, but the characters are mostly just typical looking people in mostly normal looking clothes to onesies or robes. But otherwise very not interesting people in weird, equally uninteresting clothes.

People like the stuff from the series, not the characters. With Trek they want ships, phasers, bat'leths, comm badges etc. In Potter they want wands and house themed clothing.

No way. Who would it even go to? Mattel is the only one who'd be able to take it, but not now that they have DC. Unless they split it up among several companies but that seems unlikely since Hasbro has all of the Disney properties.

The most expansive (PopCo) HP line was never available here in Burgerland. In yhe main you are correct, HP as a toy property, LEGO being the obvious exemption, has no legs.
Hell, Bandai just released solid Harry and Voldemort figures, and apparently they're just sitting.

You need to make some changes.

First instead of Harry being some little orphan kid, he needs to be something cooler like a a barbarian prince. And instead of some stupid wand, he has a magic sword that he uses to transform into a barbarian themed superhero and gets a cool tan.
Hermione should be a childhood friend that was raised by the captain of the guards, but is in reality the daughter of the sorceress that gave Harry the sword.
And instead of some weird noseless snake guy, Voldemort needs to be cooler and scarier like he has a big skull for a head.

Or what if Harry, Hermione and Ron were actually aliens from a plant of cat people and Harry was like a lion guy that had a magic sword? And Voldemort was an Egyptian themed mummy wizard.
