The first scene from HBO’s ‘HARRY POTTER’ has been released.
HBO Shares First Extended Harry Potter Series Scene from Great Hall Feast
The 90-second clip features young Harry (Dominic McLaughlin) with Ron at the start-of-term feast, where John Lithgow's Dumbledore tells Janet McTeer's McGonagall that Harry resembles his father but has his own nature. It adds a new student chant not in the book or 2001 film, while side-by-side views show glowing lamps replacing floating candles, prompting comments like 'Inflation hits Hogwarts.' Fans split between excitement for the fresh energy and critiques of a less magical, clinical feel ahead of the December 25 premiere on HBO and Max.
