We've been proceeding astir nan "Harry Potter" bid coming to HBO for a number of years now, and aft each that anticipation, we're finally getting a existent look astatine nan show pinch its first trailer.

Overseen by showrunner Francesca Gardiner (who's joined by her chap "Succession" seasoned Mark Mylod, the "grim reaper" of HBO who will nonstop and service arsenic an executive producer), nan bid is group to walk 1 play connected each "Harry Potter" book. Fans of nan franchise cognize that original writer Joanne "J.K."

So, what glimpses do we get, specifically, astatine nan caller "Harry Potter" TV show successful its first teaser trailer? Perhaps astir importantly, we now cognize that nan show's official title is "Harry Potter and nan Philosopher's Stone," which is notable for 2 reasons. First, I deliberation we each assumed it would conscionable beryllium called "Harry Potter," but it's getting much circumstantial arsenic it focuses connected nan first book. Second, it's utilizing nan British title of nan book moreover though nan U.S. type of nan communicative switched it to "Sorcerer's Stone" (a alteration that required 2 different versions of 1 segment successful nan first "Harry Potter" film).

Beyond that, though? I'll beryllium honest: It looks really similar to the "Harry Potter" movies that already exist. The caller kid actors are charming, and nan adults look mostly well-cast — pinch nan exception, frankly, of Nick Frost's distractingly bizarre Rubeus Hagrid. Still, nan sets look almost identical, and moreover though nan communicative will apparently grow to show moments earlier Harry's clip astatine Hogwarts (like erstwhile he's being bullied astatine his Muggle school), it looks for illustration we're conscionable getting much of nan same.

In immoderate case, we tin expect to spot much teasers and trailers arsenic we hole for nan bid to driblet astir Christmas 2026.
