“I guess I don’t know what I was ‘expecto’-ing,” writes Rebecca Alter. The first teaser trailer for HBO’s TV adaptation of ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone,’ which came out on Wednesday, looks like the original ‘Harry Potter’ movie, but much grayer. The sets — like Hogwarts, the Hogwarts Express, the Quidditch pitch, and Harry’s little room under the stairs — are just as you remember them, with slightly worse lighting and some tiny, unplaceable details altered. The characters are dressed and styled like they were in the movies, too, but their faces are all different. “In these ways, watching this all-new look at a sort of new ‘Harry Potter’ is like having a dream where you go back to your elementary school, and it’s uncanny enough to teach you the lesson that you can never go back in time,” writes Aalter.

I sat down with my two young daughters who adore the original movies. (Which are basically on repeat on our TV year round.) to show them the new trailer on YouTube. Halfway through I looked over and my oldest went back to what she was doing on her Amazon Fire, my youngest was playing with the cat. They didn’t have a single interest in the trailer.

The Hogwarts Legacy “boycott” was from people who never watched the movies, never supported the franchise, and were never going to buy the game to begin with. They just harassed and abused the actual fans who wanted to play it, who grew up on Harry Potter The people criticizing this show? Saying they wont watch it? They're the real fans—the ones who rewatch the movies multiple times a year, who grew up with the books and games, and who the series is supposed to be made for Sure, some fans will still tune in out of curiosity, or nostalgia, and maybe it’ll slowly build up a new audience of children and young teens. It’ll probably perform okay That said, I have a strong hunch this show is going to underperform... Or perform far worse than it otherwise could have, and it'll deserve it Many long time fans who would have liked to watch the show likely won’t Many also won’t watch this with their kids, because they themselves don’t want to support it. They’ll just throw on the movies So, the audience is incredibly small. There’s the first group of people who weren’t going to watch anyways, the many long time fans who now don’t want to watch it, and the kids of those fans who won’t watch it So, sure there will be some people will watch it and it’ll end up being a decent show I’m sure but this show will not perform nearly as well as it should, or could have Honestly, only way I can see this show being massively successful is if they recast Snape as Adam Driver. That would likely turn this show into something mediocre to something that could actually potentially become the most successful show ever made

@LudicrousMonica @jk_rowling

Hey @jk_rowling The trailer for the new Harry Potter looks bloody marvellous. I cannot wait, and as it seems to me, neither can the rest of the world❤️🪄

@TheDailyHPotter The snape stare.

It all begins again, 25 years later with a magical new cast 😍

You are forced to post the best camouflage in the comments. Pictures only

@TheAnvil_of_War @jerrycurld I’m going on 3 weeks now. I feel cheated

@jerrycurld Indi form 4 in 2 days I cool with me

ATF Cleared one more of my Form 1s, 55 days for this one, with more just sitting in queue waiting. These people are incompetent. No way the examiner can’t see I have like 7 sitting there and just get the rest lol. Currently seems they are taking between 45-65 days. Wack

This show won’t reach its true potential. No one can outperform Alan Rickman as Severus Snape. That’s not debatable. What is debatable is the pandering of woke ideology through race-swapping a main character under the guise of representation. In the end, he’s one of the most pivotal characters to the storyline and has now become divisive.

@LudicrousMonica It's going to be incredible. I'm so happy with it.

@unusual_whales @grok what is the statistical probability of a foreign nation, or all foreign nations reaching the US for a ground invasion. What percentage of casualties would be expected to the opposing forces invasion fleet.

Iran is preparing 1 million troops for a US invasion, per Tasnim News

@HPotterUniverse The enter show looks amazing. Until this.

Here is another look at Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape. What do you think?

NEW 'LORD OF THE RINGS' MOVIE Stephen Colbert is co-writing "The Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past" (working title), which will go into production after "The Hunt for Gollum." The synopsis: "Fourteen years after the passing of Frodo - Sam, Merry, and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure. Meanwhile, Sam’s daughter, Elanor, has discovered a long-buried secret and is determined to uncover why the War of the Ring was very nearly lost before it even began." Colbert is co-writing the script with his son, Peter McGee, and franchise veteran Philippa Boyens. variety.com/2026/film/news…

@warnerbros Well, there goes that.

In honor of Tolkien Reading Day and the destruction of the One Ring, we bring you a special announcement.

Name a fastener more loved by engineers and more hated by service techs

@capeandcowell You need an ID to request copies of your childs birth certificate also.

Father of three here ✋🏻 Not only do you need an ID to give birth in a hospital, but you can’t even roll your own baby to your room without an ID bracelet that can’t be removed unless you cut it off. Why lie about something so retarded?

@KellyMorrisonMN Father of a son born 3 weeks ago. 👋 Waited at the registration counter to hand over my wife’s and my IDs along with the insurance card upon entering the hospital. It was also needed when applying for copies of my son’s birth certificate.

OBGYN here 👋 You don't need an ID to give birth.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Seven times. That's how many times Democrats have tried to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. And every single time, Republicans have refused. They would rather protect ICE's lawlessness than protect our communities. How despicable.

@harveyspistols This has been a wishlist item since they came out.

@mchooyah Lego IED’s.

I’m gonna stick with IED on this one…

@RealJamesWoods “Sunbathers”

Utter fatigue.

@TheLaurenChen You should see the major gun related felony’s posted to personal YouTube accounts that seemingly never get investigated. Blatant felony, get your dog shot and spend the rest of your life in federal prison kind of stuff.

Is theft not looked down upon in the black community? First the dine and dash videos, now stealing breakfast is apparently a trend What shocks me isn't that they're doing this, it's that they're comfortable posting it on social media Like they're not even ashamed of it?

@heartagram83 @Daractenus No one in America is eating that, I couldn’t even find a store that sells it.

@Daractenus That "chicken", WTF? 🤮

In an attempt to explain just why it is that some 77 million Americans voted for the dumbest man alive to be their president for a second time, I’m absolutely delighted to present you with the expanded list of US food that you cannot legally sell in Europe!🧵
