Fans have come up with seven brilliant ideas for a Harry Potter spinoff show that they believe would be better than a reboot of the original saga. These ideas include exploring other magical schools, a procedural show set in the Auror Office, delving into Merlin's story, showcasing the time before and after the International Statute of Secrecy, exploring an alternate reality where Neville Longbottom is the Chosen One, following Rita Skeeter's path to success, and focusing on Ginny Weasley's Quidditch career.
