Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger’s Love Story Comes to Screens: Harry Potter Fan-Fic ALCHEMISED to Get Movie Adaptation

Legendary has made a record-breaking purchase of the movie rights to SenLinYu’s novel ALCHEMISED for an impressive $3 million. This significant, seven-figure deal is a clear sign of appreciation towards the book’s author and serves as a strong deterrent for other potential buyers. In response to The Hollywood Reporter, SenLinYu expressed his excitement about Legendary’s enthusiasm for the project, stating, “I am deeply honored and can hardly wait to see the world of Paladia unfold on the big screen.

SenLinYu’s novel presents romance between Harry Potter’s beloved characters

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but gush over the fan-crafted masterpiece, ALCHEMISED. This captivating tale weaves an unconventional love saga between none other than Emma Watson’s Hermione Granger from Gryffindor and Tom Felton’s Draco Malfoy from Slytherin. But here’s the intriguing part – the extent to which J.K. Rowling’s iconic characters will be echoed in the big-screen version is still uncertain. Given the complexities of copyright, it seems unlikely that too many parallels between these two fantastical realms will remain intact.

As a dedicated Harry Potter fanatic, I’ve immersed myself in the captivating universe of “ALCHEMISED,” nestled within the imaginative expanse of Dramonie, a side of the fan-fiction realm. This riveting tale delves into the passionate love story between the aces from the two feuding houses at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Remarkably, this heartwarming narrative was initially unveiled on the community-driven, fan-managed, nonprofit platform, AO3 (Archive Of Our Own).

In simple terms, it’s thought that the deal struck for the film rights of ALCHEMISED is one of the largest ever for a debut book. This could pave the way for future deals as book-to-film adaptations grow more common. (Without considering inflation factors)

Among SenLinYu’s well-known works on AO3 are a crossover fan fiction titled “Manacled,” blending Harry Potter and The Handmaid’s Tale with over 10 million views, as well as a Star Wars piece focusing on Ben Solo (Kylo Ren) and Rey. These popular fan fictions, along with others such as Fifty Shades of Grey and the After series, are being developed for film adaptations. They have gained widespread popularity, amassing millions of views worldwide.
