‘Harry Potter’ Season 1: New Teaser Trailer Unveils Magical Hogwarts Moments!! Check It Out!!

We knew it was coming. It’s September 1st, and we’re officially returning to Hogwarts. Following the earlier tease from HBO back in March, we’ve had the full trailer for the most anticipated television series in history. And this is definitely not the Harry Potter you remember. This is different, this is wild, and this is something altogether more exciting. Yeah, we still have that nostalgia, but this is more of a showcase than the last one. The teaser wanted us to remember what made us fall in love with Potter, but this trailer is full of added magic. We have more sight of forgotten characters, of fantastic locations and, of course, Potions class. How can anyone even study in that kind of light? Not to mention the new Hans Zimmer score.

The official logline for Season 1 reads:

“There is nothing special about Harry Potter — or so his Aunt Petunia tells him. But when a mysterious letter of admission to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry arrives, it opens the door to a hidden world of magic, friendship and adventure. Yet behind Hogwarts’ enchanted walls lie dark secrets. Harry must find the courage to prove himself against the darkest wizard of all.”

The new Harry Potter series stars Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley, alongside John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, and Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid. The Weasley family includes Katherine Parkinson as Molly Weasley, with Tristan Harland, Gabriel Harland, Ruari Spooner, and Gracie Cochrane appearing as Fred, George, Percy, and Ginny Weasley.
