'Harry Potter' TV program promo smashes HBO records in 48 hours
The first promo for Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone just dropped – and within 48 hours, it racked up a jaw dropping 277 million plays, making it the biggest promo launch in the history of HBO and HBO Max.
This new take on JK Rowling’s iconic storyline promises a slower, more detailed journey – one book per run. Run one revisits Sorcerer’s Stone , but with a fresh ensemble and a slightly more cinematic (and let’s be honest, nostalgic) vibe.
“Your parents were the kindest, bravest people I have ever met… The next time I see you will be at Hogwarts.”
We get glimpses of Ron, Hermione, Quidditch, the Sorting Hat — basically, all the moments supporters were waiting to judge lovingly (or not lovingly).
The new lineup includes John Lithgow as Dumbledore and Paapa Essiedu as Snape, with Francesca Gardiner steering the ship.
