Harry Potter Premieres
There is nothing special about Harry Potter - at least that's what his Aunt Petunia always says. On his 11th birthday, a letter of admittance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry opens up a hidden world for Harry: one of fun, friendship and magic. But with this new adventure comes great risk as Harry is forced to face a dangerous enemy from his past. Season 1 starts on HBO.
- The first episode of HBO's Harry Potter series, 1x01, is listed with an airdate of Friday Dec 25, 2026 and a runtime of 60 minutes; its title is still "TBA"[1][2]
- The two pages disagree on the year: the show page's status line reads "In Development; premiering 2027" while its own next-episode row dates episode 1x01 to Dec 25, 2026, matching the episode page[1][2]
- TVmaze has no synopsis for the episode: "We don't have a summary for TBA yet. Hang in there, or go ahead and contribute one"[1]
- The series is scripted fantasy/supernatural on HBO, scheduled Fridays at 60 minutes, with 8 episodes ordered, created by Francesca Gardiner[2]
- Premise as printed: "There is nothing special about Harry Potter - at least that's what his Aunt Petunia always says. On his 11th birthday, a letter of admittance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry opens up a hidden world for Harry: one of fun, friendship and magic. But with this new adventure comes great risk as Harry is forced to face a dangerous enemy from his past"[2]
- Cast: Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley, John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid and Rory Wilmot as Neville Longbottom[2]
- The series is also known as "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and moved from Max to HBO; no previous episodes are listed and a trailer is available[1][2]
