The Tower of Earth and Power

The Tower of Earth and Power is a 2020 American fantasy-adventure film directed by Chris Columbus and distributed by Warner Bros. It is a spin-off of the Harry Potter film series and follows Linda Dawfield (Mckenna Grace), a first year at Hogwarts, and her archnemesis, Max Blaner (Jacob Tremblay), through a series of strange events at the school.

After the original film series ended with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, there were talks to reboot the series with a reboot of the original. However, due to conflicts, all plans were scrapped in late 2014. The studio then talked about making a spin-off to the series. The idea passed on in early 2016 and post-production started in early 2017 and wrapped up around mid-2017. Principal photography started in late 2017 and ended in early 2018. The film was originally set for an August 22, 2018 release, but was pushed back to April 5, 2019. It was then again pushed back to March 13, 2020. The film received positive reviews from critics and was a box office success, grossing $498 million against a budget of $113 million.
