There have been rumblings for months that a Harry Potter tv series could be coming to HBO Max. Well, those rumors are true! But it’s probably not what fans of the Wizarding World were hoping for. Are you ready for Harry Potter…the quiz show?
THR has the news on the Harry Potter quiz show that is being conjured up for as a four-episode event on HBO Max in celebration of the franchise’s 20th anniversary. Expect to see “super fans competing to answer trivia questions with special guests set to also be featured in the four-episode series.” A retrospective special will also air on HBO Max, TBS, and Cartoon Network.
“To celebrate the dedicated fans old and new who have passionately kept the Wizarding World magic alive in so many forms for decades, these exciting specials will celebrate their Harry Potter fandom in a must-see multiplatform TV event,” said Warner Bros. Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics president Tom Ascheim. “All Potter fans can gear up for this ultimate one-of-a-kind celebration by embracing their inner Hermione Granger and studying their Wizarding World knowledge. For fans who have always wanted to discover what it might be like to take the O.W.L. exams, this is as close as they are going to get!”
Those of you who are disappointed, look, I get it. But also realize this is just a first step and there is a lot more Harry Potter content to come.
Casting for the quiz show is underway now at WizardingWorld.com. Who do you think should host?
