Was always curious, it has to be enough interest right?

It’s not a popular franchise in Asia, which is their primary market, despite us thinking it is the USA and beyond. So no, I don’t think there is actually enough interest. Star Ace isn’t doing so hot with the license and that was before the recent hiccups. Fantastic Beasts isn’t doing anything for the property either. Your best bet for quality Potter figures in the near future is sadly going to just be LEGO. For some reason this property just hadn’t caught on with licensing like SW, Marvel, or DC has. LotR struggles too. I guess British fantasy literature isn’t a huge draw for Asian toy makers.
We tend to assume that because it's a license "we" like or that it appears to be a popular one that merchandise will sell. As far as 1/6 dollies go when assume a lot. While HP may be a "hot" property that doesn't necessarily translate into 1/6 figure sales.
Star Ace has it.
Also, it's probably not big enough in China for Hot Toys to want it.
No assumption I just thought with like 8 movies or so and nice portion of Walt Disney theme park dedicated to a whole castle of it also it would be more popular
Ain’t this a whole hogwarts at Disney worldThere's no Harry Potter stuff at any of the Walt Disney Theme Parks..???
It's at Universal, but I know what you meant, Titan.
They have a section of the Universal Studios Park AND Islands of Adventure Park dedicated to Potter.
Glad you told me I’d been in the wrong park looking for it this Summer
You might be right about it being popular, but that doesn't mean it translates to the 1/6 collecting world.
I know it's not the same scale, but Neca had the license when the movies where still being made and got to about series 4 I believe. They even changed the scale. Don't know if that had to do with sales or not. Many of Star Ace's offerings are still fairly available at or below MSRP.

Is Lego going to be making sets this year?
