Now that marketing is starting for the new Harry Potter series, HBO is giving fans a first look at how the show is being made. Following the release of the initial trailer, the network is highlighting its commitment to creating a magical world using real sets and effects. While the original Harry Potter films remain beloved, HBO is investing heavily in this adaptation, beginning with the first story, Philosopher’s Stone.
HBO Max has unveiled the trailer for a new special called Finding Harry: The Craft Behind the Magic, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Premiering on April 5th, the special features interviews with the original cast and reveals how the movie’s sets—like Diagon Alley, the Potions classroom, and the Great Hall—were actually built. It also showcases the animatronic creatures used, a different approach from the films which relied heavily on digital effects. You can watch the trailer now.
HBO’s upcoming special, Finding Harry, will reveal behind-the-scenes details about the making of the new Harry Potter series. It will include interviews with the people who worked on casting, set design, costumes, and special effects, focusing on how carefully the actors for Harry, Ron, and Hermione were chosen. Several stars from the reboot – John Lithgow, Janet McTeer, and Paapa Essiedu – will also share their thoughts on the project. Nick Frost, who plays Hagrid, will narrate the special, though its length hasn’t been announced yet.
More to come.
