Has anyone read the harry dresden book series? by Tim Butcher?
(dont watch the horrible tv show they made.... its got nothing to do with the books more or less)

That would be my dream movie series to make.
1 book = 1 movie.

Spend a decent budget and make it good, maybe a 3hour or so duration movie for each book.

I thought Marvel already filled that void.

The trailer for The Magicians look interesting. I never got to see that Seventh Son movie, but I would like to watch it at some point.

 

Now You See Me was only about illusion magic but it was really cool.

I don't like magic. It's so cheap for an author to write. They don't have to give you explanations for anything, they just go ahead and say "It's magic, end of story". So no magic movies for me, please.

So you want the full scientific explanation or a story about a radioactive spider?

No. I don't watch movies about radioactive spiders.

The Harry Potter movies were popular because they were based on an insanely popular series of books. Same with Lord of the Rings. I don't know if there is anything else similar that's at the same level of popularity. Game of Thrones, of course, but that was turned into a television series.

There is plenty of "young adult" fiction related to magic, some of it much better than Harry Potter, but I can't think of any that are as well-known.

Fantasy movies are expensive to produce, I think, so there is probably hesitation to shoot anything that isn't a sure-fire hit.

I'd be crazy happy to get a decent screening of a Amber's Chronicles. But I understand that its not likely.

What are superpowers if not magic?

I don't know, but I don't associate superpowers with magic.
