The Boy Who Lived ⚡️

Alan Rickman knew how Snape’s story ended from the very beginning. J.K. Rowling told him personally, before any of the books were published. He carried that secret for 10 years. 🖤

Ralph Fiennes has given his blessing to Tilda Swinton as the new Voldemort. Speaking on The Claudia Winkleman Show tonight, the original Dark Lord said she would be “amazing” and “fantastic”, and confirmed his own return is off the table. Your move, HBO. 🐍

Multiple HBO Harry Potter cast members have been spotted following Owen Cooper on Instagram. You may know him from as Jamie from Adolescence on Netflix. The fandom thinks he’s Tom Riddle. HBO haven’t confirmed anything. 👀🐍

The 'Finding Harry' special dropped on HBO Max this week and it's genuinely fascinating. The costume designer making 36,000-feather owls and Nick Frost talking about stepping into Robbie Coltrane's shoes... what was your highlight? 🦉

Ginny, Fred, George, Seamus and Ron on set. Just kids. They had no idea their lives would change forever. 🥺

@KeeganSandlin1 The film version is arguably more heartbreaking for it, she chose to make it permanent to ensure they’d never be put in danger because of her. 😭

@HalfBloodPosts Which in my opinion was unnecessarily more reckless than the book where she temporarily ALTERED their memories, with full intention of restoring them. In the movie, she ORPHANS herself.

Hermione obliviated her own parents to protect them. Erased herself from their memory completely. She was 17. 🥺

@StrikeFan27 Good catch, that’s the film version. In the books it’s a Memory Charm rather than Obliviate specifically. Either way, she was 17 and it’s still devastating. 💔

@HalfBloodPosts Only in the movies. Canonicly she used a different spell in the books. Jkr confirmed that

@Max169728863517 Absolutely, but a whole new generation will discover it through the TV series first. That’s how the magic keeps going. ⚡

@Max169728863517 The HBO series I hope will add to the longevity of Harry Potter as a whole 🙏

You can dislike JK Rowling and still acknowledge that Harry Potter shaped an entire generation’s relationship with reading, imagination and storytelling. the two things can coexist ⚡

@PlayingThru_Jim She told him the ending, specifically that Snape had loved Lily all along. That secret wasn’t revealed until Deathly Hallows in 2007. He carried that for years. 🖤

@HalfBloodPosts Several of the books were published way before Rickman was even cast as Snape for the first movie

@us4ama_k @HPNews_Germany Getting the early seasons out yearly and then more of a break between the later seasons should be fine, the hype will still be there! 🎉

@HalfBloodTweet @HPNews_Germany If only..feel like from GOF onwards will be 1.5 to 2 years gap 😬

🎬 According to insider reports, filming for Season 2 of the HBO #HarryPotter series is set to begin in August 2026 and wrap in May 2027. That’s just 3 months after Season 1 finishes — meaning a late 2027 release could be possible

@WizardingArtist @HPNews_Germany Yeah! Just saying it would be perfection. One can dream 🤩

@HalfBloodTweet @HPNews_Germany They’ve already stated that’s impossible to release a season a year? It’s 7 books spanning over 10 years..

The friendship that made an entire generation believe in magic. ❤️

Season 2 of the HBO Harry Potter series could begin filming as early as August 2026, just three months after Season 1 wraps. Chamber of Secrets by Christmas 2027 could actually happen. 🎄⚡

Maggie Smith (1934–2024). Professor McGonagall was one of the greatest performances in the entire franchise. She never gave less than everything. A true legend. 💚

Harry Potter characters we will never fully recover from losing. 💔

Over 9,000 children auditioned for the role of Harry Potter in the movies. Daniel Radcliffe was cast after the director saw him at a theatre production. He had no agent at the time. ⚡

@nicolecarlyle__ Gone but never forgotten 🥹

He was amazing actor.. I miss him..

HBO auditioned over 32,000 children to play Harry Potter. Over 32,000. The three they chose were barely known beforehand. History is repeating itself. ⚡

11 years old, brand new movie star, first ever red carpet. Rupert Grint did not care. 🧡
