The highly-anticipated teaser for the HBO Max series, Harry Potter, is officially here. And not just that. The official name for the first season has been kept Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The teaser introduces the three main characters, Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, Alastair Stout as Ronald Weasley and Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger. Moreover, book lovers would appreciate the subtle bits that the series promises to show and how.
The teaser begins with Aunt Petunia convincing Harry that he is a normal boy. He is shoved inside the infamous cupboard under the stairs, while his aunt tries to cut his hair. The beginning of the teaser shows parts of Harry’s painful childhood with his aunt and uncle.
The teaser picks pace from the time Harry meets Hagrid. The latter convinces the boy about his magical abilities, while mentioning great anecdotes about his late parents. Harry steadily starts believing that his life is beyond the cupboard and his aunt’s chaotic whims. He meets Ronald and Hermione and then begins his journey at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The teaser seems to have given fans a recap and increased excitement on what is to come. The young cast also includes Lox Pratt as Draco Malfoy, Alessia Leoni as Parvati Patil, Leo Earley as Seamus Finnigan. Rory Wilmot will play Neville Longbottom and Amos Kitson is portraying Dudley Dursley.
The adult stars include John Lithgow as Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape and Nick Frost as Hagrid.
Just yesterday, the makers also released a first look picture of Dominic as Harry. The photo, where his back is shown, with him donning the school robes, has garnered immense attention on social media. The makers also captioned the teaser as, “A new era of Hogwarts begins.”
The series will premiere on Christmas 2026.
