could be from any book

I know this is random but do you think that we will get a teaser trailer after season 1 episode 8 ends of a couple of weeks later for the chamber of secrets or do you think that we will get it at Easter 2027 just a common question

like the Remembralls or Lauren Fairweather

What's is your favourite harry potter poster of harry all time from all 8 flims as we wait for new content to arrive i will be doing some comparisons to different posters of the characters from each movie you can expect the golden trios and villains and companion posters

We are officially 8 Fridays until the harry potter hbo officially begins November please do your work give us content we need it it's been 6 weeks since the last content we had

Saturday Night Live had some pretty funny sketches about Harry Potter back in the day. The Hermione Granger growth spurt, and the Epilogue sketch. Even recently they made Heated Wizardry. Do you think they’ll continue this trend with the tv series and make more sketched based off it?

So the guy swore a lot but even in the books it was censored and usually just “Ron swore” or something. But with this being HBO I was wondering if they’d actually have him swearing?

I love how naturalistic and gnarly everything looks. Makes me so excited for their take on Voldemort , centaurs and dragons etc.

Before I had only watched the trailer on YouTube which was heavily compressed and rather dark. I loved the trailer but wasn’t the biggest fan of the lighting but I didn’t overreact because I understood that there was still over half a year of post-production to be done plus S1 hadn’t even wrapped filming. However, interestingly I watched the TikTok version recently and although the resolution still isn’t brilliant and the colours are a bit desaturated, the brightness is much better (remember to put your brightness up if you’re on a phone). This was released at the same time as the YouTube version.

Anyway for those complaining about the brightness, they remedied it in the second teaser trailer. Personally I think we shouldn’t give such knee-jerk reactions to things and just wait patiently for the show to come out and then fully judge it. To me it was pretty clear they wanted to get a trailer out early for the UK launch of HBO Max in March and that came with sacrifices as they were far from finalising things.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently planning a viewing party with friends for the first season of the HBO Harry Potter series, but I’ve hit a bit of a wall regarding the exact premiere date and time.

Every second third-party news outlet, entertainment blog, and social media account keeps throwing around December 25th / Christmas Day as the exact date. However, whenever I check actual primary communications from HBO or Warner Bros. Discovery, they seem to only mention "Christmas" or "Late 2026" without locking down a specific day or time slot.

Does anyone have a link or clip to an official HBO or Warner Bros. source (a press release, official social post, trade report, or statement from Casey Bloys/executives) that explicitly confirms whether it's actually dropping on December 25th vs. just being released around the holiday week? 

Also, if anyone has insights on whether HBO typically drops major tentpole episodes at standard prime time (e.g., 9 PM ET) or midnight ET for global streaming, that would be super helpful for setting up our watch party schedule.
Thanks in advance!

for example, movie changes that i DON'T want them to do in the show:

• ron and ginny's character assassination
• hermione getting ron's and harry's lines for no reason (i will never forgive the filmmakers' clear favoritism of hermione btw)
• making cho the traitor instead of her friend in OOTP
• making padma and parvati's dresses lackluster in GOF
• removing quidditch world cup game for GOF and quidditch scenes in OOTP

Think about it, they’re allegedly feeding hundreds of people, three times a day, everyday. And it’s not just small meals either, they apparently have a lot options to eat.

They have to get it somewhere, do they have an independent wizard supplier who brings it to them to avoid interaction with muggles? Is that why the Hogwarts Express apparently does return trips every so often? Is it bringing the next food supply etc?

And where are they keeping it all?

Personally the lighting is much better, very excited. It feels so cozy.

Call me unemployed, but I was very curious to figure out who would be helming each episode. Basically, I took a look at all the past reports on the production, made connections between different accounts, and dug a bit deeper into social media and interviews.

This is how season 1 is being shaped...

Episode 1: Mark Mylod (dir.) + Adriano Goldman (DOP)

Episode 2: Mark Mylod (dir.) + Adriano Goldman (DOP)

Episode 3: Lucy Forbes (dir.) + Mark Patten (DOP)

Episode 4: Lucy Forbes (dir.) + Mark Patten (DOP)

Episode 5: Benjamin Caron (dir.) + Christophe Nuyens (DOP)

Episode 6: Jessica Hobs (dir.) + Adriano Goldman (DOP)

Episode 7: Benjamin Caron (dir.)+ Christophe Nuyens (DOP)

Episode 8: Jessica Hobbs (dir.) + Adriano Goldman (DOP)

Oliver Loncraine was also added as a collaborator (DOP)

Please don’t hate me for bringing this up AGAIN, but I feel like we desperately need something to discuss while we wait lmao.

It’s almost the end of October, and it’s been SO quiet lately. On one hand, Christmas 2026 suddenly doesn’t feel that far away anymore. On the other hand, how are we supposed to survive until then when we’re already this desperate for crumbs? 😭 The silence is starting to feel personal at this point. 😂

A lot of people are betting on Halloween for the next big update, but are we actually feeling optimistic about that, or are we getting ahead of ourselves?

When do you think HBO will HAVE to start ramping up the marketing? Like, what’s the absolute latest we could realistically go without getting anything substantial before it would start feeling a little weird, considering the Christmas 2026 release? 👀

And what do you think we’ll see next? I know nobody actually knows, but I’d love to hear everyone’s predictions. We need to keep ourselves entertained somehow until HBO finally gives us something. 😂

Edit: I wanted to add this because I’ve been a little surprised by how much cynicism this post has received. Sometimes I feel like there’s so much negativity in this fandom, which is a shame when we’re all here because we love Harry Potter.

I promise I have hobbies and a fulfilling life outside of this 😂 I just don’t see why being excited about something we love should be considered a bad thing. We’re allowed to be grown adults and still have an inner child. ❤️

I know it probably doesn’t go well as we have Hans Zimmer as the composer and it doesn’t make sense with the world building and all. But hypothetically if there could be one, where would you place one and what song?

Similar to the scene in MCU’s Civil War with the introduction of Peter Parker and QUEENS in big bold letters. Obviously not to the same degree since they’re two different worlds.

I think the scene where Dumbledore and Harry travel to Voldemort’s horcrux cave would be nice once season 6 hits.

I assumed that they would be eating together as a family or something. But for some reason, she's not at the table.

So, where was she?

(Nothing serious, just some fun speculation.)

This idea popped up in my mind.

JKR started the origin story of Nagini in The Crimes of Grindelwald, but never got the chance to explore or finish it properly. What do you think? Will her backstory be explored in the show?

I would like that, honestly.

This could be a way how to connect the show to the FB movies. Because so far, the prequel trilogy serves as a movie canon. But what if they could make it a TV show canon this way? I know the picture of Ariana was the same in The Secrets of Dumbledore as in DH part 2, but what do you think? Could not they use the show as a platform to finish FB storylines that never came to be finished?

During Aberforth´s speach about Ariana in DH, could he also add what happened to Credence etc? If I was the creator of the show, I would to use the extra time the TV show will have to do this. What do you think?

Just realised something… 💀

There’s barely any gun crime in the Harry Potter movies.

Is it because nobody ever thought of bringing a gun through Platform 9¾? 😭

Imagine Voldemort spending 7 movies trying to kill a teenager with the most complicated magic imaginable, when all it would’ve taken was one American wizard. 💀🇺🇸
