HBO has given fans a first glimpse of its upcoming Harry Potter series, just before the full trailer is revealed on Wednesday.
As a huge Harry Potter fan, I immediately recognized him – it’s the young wizard, seen from behind, walking through a snowy throng of people. He’s sporting a big Gryffindor cloak with his name, ‘Potter,’ and the number 7 emblazoned on the back. It definitely looks like he’s heading towards a Hogwarts set, which is incredibly exciting!
HBO kept the tease simple and posted just two words on social media: “Tomorrow ⚡️”
First look teases the new Harry Potter series
Although we can’t see the character’s face, this image gives us our first good look at the overall mood and visual direction HBO is planning for the show.
The snow-covered location, along with the flags and cheering people, clearly indicate this is Hogwarts. The prominent cloak emphasizes that Harry Potter is the central figure in this new version of the story.
HBO is likely releasing this image to get fans excited for the trailer coming out on Wednesday, which will be the first look at actual footage from the show.
