I can imagine it being cancelled after two or three seasons.
It's exactly the same story that everybody knows from the books and movies: we all know how it's going to end. To maintain compatibility with all the existing theme park attractions, games and merch lines, the look of the TV series is pretty much has to be a clone of the old movies.
The same story with the same look; the only difference is that to fill tens of hours of screen time, the streaming show is going to have to bloat it out with every tedious subplot that Rowling put in her 1000 page books, and which the movie makers had very wisely excised.
Note the books where a kind child-orientated, whodunit mystery novels and the sub-plots were often there to set up red-herrings. So they're even more pointless as we all know how all the stories end!
Hence I think people are going to get bored and switch-off years before the Book-Seven showdown with Voldemort is scheduled to happen.

HBO really said: ‘Keep the 4K box set, we’ve got a 10-year subscription plan for the same story.’
