HBO's new Harry Potter cast
The first trailer for the new TV adaptation of Harry Potter has been released to coincide with the official launch of HBO Max in the UK and Ireland today.
Season one of the show has been titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, named after the first book in the series, and has been confirmed to launch this Christmas – months earlier than had been expected.
The official synopsis reads: “There is nothing special about Harry Potter – at least that’s what his Aunt Petunia always says. On his 11th birthday, a letter of admittance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry opens up a hidden world for Harry: one of fun, friendship and magic. But with this new adventure comes great risk as Harry is forced to face a dangerous enemy from his past.”
As well as the trailer – available to watch below – HBO has also released 13 new pictures offering fresh glimpses of the new cast.
