The project is in early development and does not yet have a studio attached.
The Christmas Pig , a 2021 children's book by Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling , is being developed as a film adaptation, according to a new report. According to Variety, who first broke the news, the project is"in a very early stage of development in-house," presumably through Rowling's production company Bronte . There is no studio attached at this point -- although given her long relationship with HBO and Warner Bros., one assumes that will be Rowling's first stop.
The Christmas Pig was first published in 2021, with illustrations by Jim Field . Variety notes that, back in 2021, Swift Films made a series of promotional videos for the project -- which could suggest they would help Bronte. If not with the final animation, it's at least pretty easy to imagine Swift being involved with a pitch package to go out to studios.
Rowling is returning to the world of Harry Potter soon enough, with HBO and Max planning a massive, multi-season adaptation of the entire book series. Excitement for the series has been tempered by worries that it won't be as good as the originals, or that J.K. Rowling's controversial offscreen antics will harm it. Deadlines are deadlines, though, and it appears things are moving forward now.
