The trailer for the new Harry Potter series is already here!
HBO Max will even broadcast the new adaptation of the little wizard with the scar earlier than expected!
This will inevitably be the most commented video of the day! Everyone will have an opinion on the new Harry, the new Hagrid, the new Hermione… Harry Potter is already back, while HBO has just posted the trailer for its new series online. A two-minute video, which delivers as many images as possible of the new Hogwarts, its students and its teachers.
A video which also announces an advanced release date: scheduled for early 2027, season 1 of the series Harry Potter will finally be broadcast at “Christmas 2026”, on HBO Max in France. No specific date yet, but we understand that it will be during the week of December 25.
Another revelation: in France, this first season – which spans 8 episodes – is officially called Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Which certainly means that season 2 will take the title of The Chamber of Secretsand so on.
So what does the trailer in question show? The video opens with Harry living in his cupboard under the stairs at the Dursleys. Harassed by his cousin Dudley, he also endures a painful haircut inflicted by his aunt Petunia, who repeats to him that he is nothing special – until he receives his acceptance letter to Hogwarts. We then discover Hagrid, who reveals the existence of the wizarding world and briefly mentions his missing parents. Baggage piled on his trolley, Harry then crosses the barrier of track 9 3/4 to board the Hogwarts Express. On the train, he sees Ron saying goodbye to his mother before boarding. The two boys sit down with Hermione, and Ron asks her: “Are you really Harry Potter?”. Then follows a montage showing the trio exploring Hogwarts, Harry unwrapping a Quidditch broom, as well as quick glimpses of Dumbledore, Snape, Draco Malfoy, Mr. Ollivander, the Sorting Hat and many others.
The official HBO Max synopsis describes: “There’s nothing special about Harry Potter, at least that’s what his aunt Petunia constantly tells him. But on his 11th birthday, a letter of acceptance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry opens the doors to a hidden world of magic, friendship and adventure for Harry. However, this new life comes with great dangers, as Harry must face a formidable enemy from his past.”
