To capitalise on the Easter family audience, all being at home and in need of something to watch on TV, HBO has announced that a special behind-the-scenes look into the new Harry Potter TV series will air today – Sunday.

Finding Harry: The Craft Behind the Magic is a one-off special giving an in-depth look at the making of the new adaptation of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Narrated by Nick Frost, who plays Hagrid in the new version, it will also feature interviews with John Lithgow and Paapa Essiedu.

The press release says:

“It’s been 25 years since audiences first walked the hallowed halls of Hogwarts. Now, this exclusive special offers an inside look at the epic scale and meticulous care behind HBO’s new Harry Potter series — told through the lens of the artists, craftspeople, and technicians bringing J.K. Rowling’s beloved books to life for a new generation.

Featuring interviews with members of the casting, production design, costume design, and creature effects teams, the special chronicles the extensive process behind finding our new Harry, Ron, and Hermione — while celebrating the awe-inspiring commitment to detail and immense talent that has come together to fill out this extraordinary world.”

The first trailer, which dropped last week, broke records for HBO with 277 million organic views across platforms in its first 48 hours. This is terrible news for the very online who thought their screeching and tantrumming about J.K. Rowling, an actual woman having opinions about what makes a woman, would negatively impact the potential success of the show.

With the producers confirming a ten-year plan for the show, this is probably only going to get worse for people like they/them:

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone will debut around Christmas.
