Summary
HBO released another trailer for its “Harry Potter” TV remake, showing Harry, Ron and Hermione arriving at Hogwarts, joining Gryffindor and beginning their first-year adventure.
The footage centers on Season 1’s adaptation of “The Sorcerer’s Stone,” including the sorting ceremony, Quidditch, magical classes and key set pieces such as the mountain troll, wizard chess and the Mirror of Erised.
Dominic McLaughlin leads the series as Harry, with Alastair Stout as Ron and Arabella Stanton as Hermione, alongside John Lithgow’s Dumbledore, Paapa Essiedu’s Snape and Nick Frost’s Hagrid.
The show is HBO’s seven-season adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s seven books; its first season runs 8 episodes and a second season, covering “The Chamber of Secrets,” was renewed in May.
