Fans of Harry Potter have something to look forward to this Easter! HBO Max has released the first trailer for the upcoming TV series remake of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The trailer gives a fresh look at Hogwarts and introduces the cast, including Dominic McLaughlin as Harry, Alastair Stout as Ron, and Arabella Stanton as Hermione. We also see returning professors played by John Lithgow as Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as McGonagall, and Paapa Essiedu as Snape.
HBO Max is giving fans an even closer look at the new series with a special behind-the-scenes documentary called Finding Harry: The Craft Behind the Magic. It explores how the show was made and how the magical world was recreated. You can watch the trailer below!
Great news for fans: the documentary will be available on HBO Max starting Sunday, April 5th! Releasing it around major holidays – Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone came out at Christmas, and this one is timed for Easter – suggests a strategy to capture viewers during peak viewing times.
Harry Potter’s Documentary Will Help Ease The Wait For The Philosopher’s Stone’s Release
Releasing a new documentary so soon after the initial trailer was a clever strategy. It keeps fans engaged and builds anticipation for the series. Although the premiere of The Philosopher’s Stone on HBO Max isn’t until Christmas Day, this documentary should help make the wait a little easier for those who are excited about it.
Nick Frost, known for his role as Hagrid, will narrate the documentary. The trailer hints at interviews with cast members like John Lithgow, Weruche Opia, and Tamzin McTeer. However, the documentary will also give a valuable behind-the-scenes look, featuring the artists and craftspeople who brought the show to life.
This exhibit will give visitors a real feel for the massive effort and incredible work that’s gone into creating the show. Similar to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour for the movies, it won’t be a complete immersive experience, but it’s the closest you can get to stepping into the world while the show is still being made.
The trailer offers additional peeks at scenes and important settings from the series, including Diagon Alley, the Potions classroom, and Hogwarts’ Great Hall. We also see more of the students arriving at school. Just like the show’s initial trailer, it looks fantastic, making this a must-see for anyone anticipating the series.
Finding Harry: The Craft Behind the Magic streams on HBO Max from April 5th.
