J.K. Rowling’s bestselling children’s book “The Christmas Pig” is set to get a film adaptation.

Variety understands the project is in a very early stage of development in-house and a production company has not yet been attached.

Rowling’s production company Bronte already produces the BBC/HBO adaptation of her adult detective series “Cormoran Strike.”

“The Christmas Pig” was first published in 2021 with illustrations by Jim Field. At the time of publication, Swift Films made a series of promotional videos for the project.

The book tells the story of a boy named Jack, who loses his childhood toy Dur Pig — nicknamed Dp — on Christmas Eve after his stepsister throws it out of the family car. Although Jack is offered a replacement called Christmas Pig as consolation, he misses his old faithful friend and casts Christmas Pig (abbreviated to Cp) aside.

To cheer Jack up, Cp proposes a plan to rescue his best toy.
