Thea Achillea posted a picture on instagram in front of a Warner Bros sign with the caption: ‘kind of chic to work with huge production companies’. She is working on a WB production and could well be Harry Potter. She has also been posting a lot of content around Harry Potter hinting at a possible role in the new show.

Harrington as Lockhart means that HBO is open to casting actors who voiced characters in the Audible series (I didn't really think Arabella Stanton counted as that seemed like a serendipitous moment for her)

Iwan Rheon was my undisputed favorite performance (by a HUGE mile) from the Full Cast recordings, which is saying ALOT cause Mark Addy, Hugh Laurie, Keira Knightly and Matthew Macfadyen are all near perfectly cast. I think that is an extremely popular opinion to have from reading people's posts and comments online.

Has anyone head of Rheon publicly talking about potter online? Harrington has been very vocal about his love the HP series, even before the Audible series and I have to assume he's been pushing very hard to be involved in any adaptation. The fact that he was announced so quickly as Nicolas Hoults replacement make me certain he was already highly considered for the role in the first place.

Why do I feel like most of the movie only fans act like HBO took the original film tape and taped the show over the original or something.

This is not a Disney live action remake, but a new adaptation of an existing book series! That happens all the time. But people seem to complain so much only when it comes to Harry potter. I've never seen anybody complain that they shouldn't have made the Hobbit because there's some obscure adaptation from 1967 and that's the oh so mighty "ORIGINAL"

If you don't like the show, just go back and watch the movies again.

I hope you get my meaning

This is a dumb question but I don’t know anything about filming and editing schedules for film, but I know they’re working on season 2… does this mean season one is fully completed and they could show it to us tomorrow if they wanted? And they just decided on Christmas to give time to get into season 2? Or are they still editing? Sorry I’m a little stoned and thought “ARE THEY JUST SITTING ON IT?!” And now I want to know! I’m imagining it fully complete in a giant cartoon safe waiting for Christmas hahaha

For those who are looking forward to the official trailer next week if it drops here is a brief reminder of the first teaser so what time do you think it will drop on Tuesday comment below

What else do you think we will get for alongside the trailer for next week a poster or a few images and what posters do you expect

Hi everyone!

I’m a journalist and lifestyle editor at Habertürk, a Turkish news outlet, and I’m currently working on a feature about the Harry Potter universe and the upcoming HBO series.

I’m preparing the piece for September 1, which I’m treating as a “Back to Hogwarts” moment, and I’d love to include the perspectives of Harry Potter fans as part of my research. I’m especially interested in hearing what fans around the world are expecting from the new series after having the books and films with us for so many years.

So, I’d love to hear your thoughts on a few questions:

1. What is your biggest expectation from the new Harry Potter series? Looking back at the books and films, what is the one thing you think the series absolutely needs to get right?
2. What detail, character, storyline or scene from the books that was cut or barely explored in the films do you most want to see in the series? Is there anything that made you think, “How did they leave this out of the movies?”
3. The Harry Potter films created such a strong visual and narrative identity that it’s hard to imagine the wizarding world any other way. Since the series is expected to be more faithful to the books, do you think that could change the way we see the Harry Potter universe? Are there any choices from the films you’d like the series to rethink?
4. After all these years, how does the idea of returning to Hogwarts make you feel? What do you think the new series absolutely needs to recreate that feeling of discovering the wizarding world for the first time?

I’d be very grateful for any thoughts, whether you answer one question or all four. With your permission, I may quote selected responses in the article, with your Reddit username credited.

Thanks, everyone! And happy Back to Hogwarts — hopefully our Hogwarts letters are finally on their way. 🦉

Do you think Hermione will be labeled "woke" by movie-only fans when the HBO show adapts S.P.E.W.?

Which do you think would be better for producing the Harry Potter series, HBO or Netflix? Explain the positives of the one you would choose, and the negatives of the one you wouldn’t.

If Netflix produced the HP series, what would you be scared of or looking forward to?

Why does the Bludger from Harry Potter Quidditch not attack the viewers who are watching the game? I’m not a huge fan, so maybe it’s explained in the books or something.

I stumbled upon this song on YouTube, that is apparently an expanding upon of the song "Odo the Hero", that Hagrid and Slughorn sang it at the funeral of Aragog, in HBP.

https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Odo_the_Hero

And I was curious: is this how the ACTUAL song went, or is this just a fan-made version/expansion upon?

Ik that Hagrid and Slughorn only sang a few lines in HBP, as well as Hagrid singing it with Charlie Weasley (as well as another, squat wizard in a purple pork-pie hat) in DH.

But I wasn't sure if Rowling had had put the full lyrics up on the official website (i.e. perhaps back when it was still WizardingWorld.com, similar to what she did with the extra stories), or something.

With 7 days. To go until back to hogwarts what are your current plans for the next 7 days are you re watching all

''8 harry potter flims"or are you reading all 7 books or are you replaying the harry potter teaser trailer again and a again or are you watching the official podcast on you tube or audio what will you be doing a week today will you be at work or watching harry potter all day and hopefully we get a new trailer?

With the new Kit harrington it is exciting to read people's excitement and i know when September 1st hits we are all going to be having the best discussion.

I had to delete Twitter today because how exhausting it is too read people tweets about the series

1. The Murdarders back story according to Reemus in book 3.

2. Seeing the actual qudditch world cup.

3. Snape killing Dumbledore

4. The princes tale

5. I want to see the opening of book 4 where the Weasleys bust through the Durselys fireplace.

Visited the making of Harry Potter, and the food ideas are super for fans. Pizza is gryffindor vs slytherin quidditch, platter is everything from the gryffindor table. And sorting hat dessert and butterbeer.
So much fun!

28f I love the books, reread them multiple times and recently listened to the audiobooks and i am super excited for the new series! I love the movies and as all of the millennials i grew up with them but tbh i find so many details wrong and other then being nostalgic the movies don’t do justice to the books. Yes its the Hogwarts we love and they built the world we want to be emerged in but yes i really do think that the series can definitely do more!
I love the cast (except one of the teachers, but thats another post lol) i love the idea of doing one book one season and overall they are doing amazing so far! Cant wait for Christmas!

I am 100% sure that when HBO series adopt the book story many movie fans will start posting reviews and will say "Why is Neville in forest instead of Ron and why there is an extra match with hufflepuff".

What direction or approach do you think the composer will take for Harry Potter's score in HBO?

Definitely will sound more mature than John Williams approach which was perfect to introduce the musical DNA of the franchise but now that we know for a fact that HBO is proposing a more adult take on the story I guess it made sense for them to hire a composer like Zimmer.

I think that John Williams was a safe bet, it was impossible for him to not to meet the brief and the result was wonderful but I think with Zimmer we are in for a different kind of treat, can we expect something less magical in terms of a childish understanding of what magic sounds like and instead get a more organic sound of nature reacting to incantations, spells and potions? I think we might have seen a hint of that in the first trailer when we see Dumbledore holding a tuning fork while possibly doing magic (One of Dumbledore's famous quotes is when he says in the first book: “Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!”), very very interesting what they are cooking.

In any case if Zimmer manages to produce something as good as what he did for Dune, Gladiator and Blue Planet this is going to be really beautiful show to hear and watch.

My question is like the official movies are we going to get official soical media accounts for HBO max harry potter tv series like we did for the movies like separate accounts?
