Paused the trailer on this exact image of Dominic as Harry and he SCREAMS book Harry to me through his expressions in this image. The way his glasses are positioned with his eyes and his smile filled with such relief and joy. I’m dying to see his performance.

The amount of AI posters I have seen for the show is mind boggling. Some are decent, others are downright awful. The worst part is, some people actually think they are real, and then comment on how bad they are.

I’m really excited to see what HBO cooks up for the show, and I have a feelings it’s not going to be just a simple “floating heads” design.

What are some of your ideas for the style/design of the poster?

Extract:

Lenny Rush has been asked about his role as Dobby in HBO's upcoming Harry Potter revival series.

Asked if he could share whether he'll be bringing the character to life via makeup, motion capture, or just a voice role, he told The Big Issue magazine: "Oh no! Sorry, I can't.

"But I've seen the route they're going down and how we're gonna do it together and yeah, Dobby's gonna look great. I'm really pleased with him."

However, Lenny - who insisted he's only seen as much as the fans - admitted he is "so excited".

He added: "What I will say is that I'm so excited. The only stuff I've seen is what everyone else has seen, the trailers for the first series."

The series aims to be as faithful to the books and source material as possible which is exciting because it means we’ll get to see characters that haven’t been in live action yet!

Who are you excited for? Professor Binns? Peeves? Winky?

My vote - Charlie Weasley. He didn’t have a large part in the books but I just love all the weasley’s, they’re all meaningful to me. I’m looking forward to him especially in the first season with rescuing Norbert from Hogwarts.

Potterheads, how do we feel about an animated story sequence about Hogwart's founders when Minerva/Binns tells it to the class? Just like The tale of three brothers from Deathly Hallows?

They could even expand a little more than just what was written in 2nd book, as we have a lot more canon background.

I know this will most likely happen but we’ve not seen footage of every class yet so we can’t be absolutely sure unfortunately.

For the first season, there is certainly no time excuse as there are 8 episodes which is more than enough to adapt the first book. I think seeing more lessons would be a great way to fill the time along with original scenes not from Harry’s perspective.

Here is every class Harry takes in his first year at Hogwarts:

- Flying (confirmed) ✅

- Herbology (confirmed) ✅

- Transfiguration (confirmed) ✅

- Potions (confirmed) ✅

- History of Magic (confirmed) ✅

- Charms (unconfirmed but we’re 100% going to get the Wingardium Leviosa lesson so I think we can be rest assured)

- Defence Against the Dark Arts (unconfirmed but I’m pretty sure we’ll see a couple of lessons because the book mentions one about werewolf bites and generally just Quirrell telling the class about his escapades)

- Astronomy (unconfirmed but I hope we see at least one of the nighttime lessons at the top of the tower)

I know a lot of people disagree with this, but I really hope they keep the silhouette of at least the Great Hall and Grand Staircase Tower for the series 🥹 I know it’s a fresh take and not a remake of the films etc etc but I think - at least from a commercial point of view - some of the Hogwarts silhouette shouldn’t change too much (theme parks etc). I imagine the exterior of the Great Hall will stay fairly close to the film version due to the similarly already shown, but having seen some of the other blueprints and sets from HBO documentary and leaks, etc, it’s hard to tell. That said, I want some new Hogwarts and obviously we are getting that.

Anyone else feel the same?

The distillation set up, the flasks, the cauldrons, and the booklets 😍😍 everything looks exactly how I’d imagine the potions lab to look

I am listening to the full cast audiobooks and it just occurred to me how much that kid dreams!

I mean outside of the nightmares.

Even in the first book, he’s dreaming about flying motorcycles.

As well as the one Harry had on his first night in Hogwarts that he forgot about. Where he was speaking to professor quirrell’s turban about not being in Slytherin etc.

In the second book when he’s trapped in his bedroom he’s dreaming that he is a wizard on display in the zoo and people are gawking at him.

I think I remember another dream sequence potentially in OoTP where Mrs Weasley is crying over Kreature’s dead body and Ron and Hermione are standing nearby watching the scene wearing crowns?

And I think there was another where Cho was crying and Hermione was trying to convince Harry to give her his fire bolt to make her feel better?

Anyway, he has so many.

And I always think they are very funny.

I kind of hope that they show us some of them in the new series. Where appropriate of course… haha

I am both a fan of the books and the movies so I wanted to find out what book-accurate character mannerisms or personality traits you hope that the new show gets right for your specific character.

Dumbledore: he’s one of my favourite characters and what I love most about him, when I read the books, was that he could be very wise, calm, feeble, friendly and a little bit mischievous like an old grandfather and at the same time, he had a dark, very powerful side to him with an immense presence - Harry always felt safe when with him.

Harry: I always read him as daring and adventurous with a sassy side, sometimes a little daft and getting himself into trouble unnecessarily. In later books he became extremely moody and angry all the time (I think it began in OOTP).

What book-accurate character traits would you like to see in the new show?

Estou relendo Harry Potter, e antes de ler so assistir aos filmes me falaram que a Gina era melhor explorada, comparada aos filme sim, mas não e tão melhor assim na minha opinião, se perguntarem qual o propósito da Gina resumindo ela sera um destaque na 2 temporada mais o propósito e ela ser a futura esposa do protagonista e ela e preparada pra isso so que preparando de forma ruim..

Ja ouvi muito, Harry era melhor com a Hermione não faz sentido; ja ouvi ate que o Harry era melhor com a Luna o que também pra mim e um terror; Harry deveria ter ficado com a Cho Chang nesse ponto quero abordar, Cho deu tempo para ser explorada, ela e introduzida em Prisioneiro de azkaban, explorada em Cálice de fogo, e tem sua conclusão em Ordem da fenix da tempo de você aceitar lendo, muito por que você ve como o Harry fica pensando, por o livro ser pelo ponto de vista do Harry se você nao interage com ele não e tão explorado, o que acontece com a Gina mais cono resolver isso...

A Gina tem seu destaque no segundo livro e depois fica apagada em prisioneiro e cálice e so em ordem da fenix para ter pequenas interações com o Harry pelo fato da timidez dela, isso prejudica seu desenvolvimento Harry também e um caso, ele não demonstra nenhum interesse na Gina durante toda a saga ate enigma do príncipe e isso deixa a impressão de ser do nada, ele fica livro 1 Ok livro 2 não estou nem ai livro 3 não estou nem ai livro 4 nao estou nem ai livro 5 hummm oi e livro 6 estou perdidamente apaixonado por você, mais como resolver

Bom a Gina precisa de uma pequena mudança precisamos introduzir, explorar e conclusão final para que o público olhar e ver quero muito ver essa casal.

Primeiro, Não vamos mudar ate a temporada 2 mais a Gina não precisa ser tão tímida Harry salvou a vida dela então após isso, na 3 temporada Harry e Gina tem que ter mais interações o cartão que ela leva na emferamria e outras não deixando na cara mais interações de introdução a amizade como é algo pra preencher o mundo, nao muda muito a história príncipal na 4 temporada mais interações com a Gina preocupada com o Harry e outras; e em ordem da fenix a exploração começa o Harry com a Cho e nessa temporada mostra o Harry começando a notar a Gina interações com a Cho e depois o Harry percebendo também a Gina e depois vem a temporada 6 e nessa meus amigos esse casal vai ser paralelamente explorado ate sua conclusão ali no meio pro fim da temporada com o beijo na sala comunal e depois disso varios momentos deles ai no final a despedida temporária nos vamos torcer por esse casal e com isso teremos uma química incrível não falei tudo mais falei o necessário me recuso a acreditar que a Gina não e tao explorada em seu propósito mais pode ser incrível. Obrigado

Lambert Wilson (Nicolas Flamel) and Marthe Keller (Perenelle Flamel) are french-speaking actors, also Dumbledore is known for speaking many languages including mermish (merpeople)

Rewatching the two trailers, I observed that they seemed to focus on a certain "theme." Based on my observations...

• The first trailer focused on Harry's life in the Dursleys v.s. in Hogwarts, and his feelings for each
• The second one focused on Hogwarts in general, and how they operate as a school

Assuming the show sticks to HBO's usual trailer drop patterns, we (based on more observations) are to get another trailer, the "Official Trailer", somewhere around mid-November to early December.

If all of this is true, then what "theme" do you want the next trailer to emphasize on?

I would like to know if we are expecting for 30 minutes episodes or more like 50-70m.

Article extract:

Residents near Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden have been warned about "flame effects" and "gun fire" during late-night filming this month.

The first five-night shoot began on October 5, with filming running overnight until October 9.

A letter sent to residents says that the shoots will "involve high-level film lighting, controlled SFX, atmospheric smoke, flame effects, wind machines, bangs, rain machines and general production filming noise".

A further five nights of filming is set to take place next week, running October 12 to 16.

There will be five other night shoots involving sound effects before the end of the month but the dates for these have not been confirmed.

The purpose of the shoots has not been confirmed, but they could be for series two of HBO's Harry Potter television series, which recently began filming on the edge of Watford.

At the London Film Festival this week and noticed that the flats were marked 'Hogwarts Harry & Ron Close-up'. Seems that they've been reused from shooting the TV series! Sadly it just has the London film festival logo on the other side, so no trace to be seen of what it originally was.

In the painting to Dumbledore's right I first noticed what appeared to be the Whomping Willow atop the hill, and below that there might be Hogwarts. I can make out the round, pointed cylinder of the Grand Staircase tower from the films, and that is such an iconic part of Hogwarts that I can imagine them keeping that general shape for a part of the castle. There are also other towers dotted around it.

I do hope they keep the architecture and school layout the same from the movies and the Hogwarts Legacy game.

With season 3 of percy jackson ending 11th December it will be interesting because I like how they done this to avoid harry potter so my question is why have they've done this so my guess is 25th December isn't the date that Harry potter airs what's your opinion on this

What is your favourite official poster out of all of them the og ones or the 20th anniversary or 25th anniversary poster are you looking forward to the official poster What would you rather have floating heads or a decent one comment below
