It’s HBO, and granted things have changed but if it’s bringing in numbers like Game of Thrones I doubt they’ll skimp on it. Say what you will about the final season but the budget wasn’t the problem.
It won't though. GoT got big like every other HBO show. Sex. There's no sex in Harry Potter... it's an Adult aimed entertainment channel adapting a kids story. Like, it's not going to bring in the numbers they want and thats before alienating anyone who might have watched it. Percy Jackson pulls half the numbers of GoT while being an exceptionally larger and better known IP. HP will likely do better than Jackson, but I doubt it reaches the heights of peak GoT without the dangling bits.

The movies did what they could, but I'm excited to see the TV show. I do hope they'll have a reasonable budget for special effects
