Rupert Grint is best known for his performance as Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter saga, but that’s not one character that he wanted to play forever. If anything, after his gig in the respective live-action fantasy film series, the actor went on to build a pretty unexpected career for himself, choosing indie films, theater, and prestige TV over blockbusters.

While initially, post the Harry Potter era, Grint chose to go with low-key roles, he eventually stepped back from the screens from major roles for a little while when those failed to materialize, and chose to step onto the stage to make his debut. Since then, though, he has...

Every 90s kid who grew up reading and watching J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter saga has always dreamt of going to Hogwarts. Like, it’s the dream school for every young witch and wizard, and even Muggles who wish the Wizarding World were real. But let’s be honest, despite the magical aspect, Hogwarts was kind of a death trap wrapped in pretty candles and floating staircases.

For fans, the castle feels warm and exciting, but if you look closely at Harry’s journey, you’ll notice that almost every corner of Hogwarts was ready to throw danger his way. From secret chambers hiding giant Basilisk to the forbidden forests,...

After Chris Columbus handed the directorial responsibilities of the Harry Potter films to the Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón, the franchise witnessed a sudden shift in tone. Helming Prisoner of Azkaban, as Cuarón took the reins, the story started appearing strikingly darker with a moodier tone.

Fans often notice how different it feels compared to the bright, magical atmosphere of the first two films. But this shift wasn’t an accident; it was a creative choice made by Cuarón, who wanted the third movie to reflect a major change happening in Harry’s life: his transition from childhood to early teenage years.

Cuarón explained in the 20th anniversary special (via Slash Film),

For Azkaban,...

It’s been a long time since the fantastic first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians premiered on Disney+ in December 2023. One might assume that the long gap between seasons and expectations higher than Mount Olympus hovering about the Empire State Building might have caused a bit of sophomore slump. After watching the first few episodes of season 2, I can finally reveal that is not the case at all.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 is not only a worthy adaptation Rick Riordan’s The Sea of Monsters, the second book of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series, but it’s even better than the first season.

Almost every ’90s kid grew up waiting for their Hogwarts letter, wanting to spend their school years in the world of magic. But then, we also know that every school year in Harry Potter is different, and every session feels like its own mini-adventure. From the first time Harry stepped into the Great Hall to the final battle that shook the castle, Hogwarts wasn’t just a school, it was the heart of the entire story.

So today, let’s take a look at Harry’s year at Hogwarts and rank them based on how magical, fun, and chaotic they were. But before we dive into the rankings, here’s...

People who have read the Harry Potter books and have watched the movies know how Warner Bros. criminally reduced Ron Weasley’s character from one of the most loyal and important ones to a laughing stock. Honestly, the heaven and hell difference between the films and the pages is just baffling.

While the books show Ron as brave, emotional, funny, and deeply human, the films often turned him into the comic sidekick, average Joe, and shifted many of his best moments to Hermione. Even Rupert Grint, who played Ron in the films, admitted how it often felt “suffocating” to portray Ron, and live in someone else’s shadow (via Bustle).

So,...

Many reading this may feel deeply ambivalent about the ever-widening "Harry Potter" franchise. After all, the first eight "Harry Potter" feature films were all gigantic hits, transforming a deeply beloved book series into a dazzling and stringently faithful string of movies. The first film, Chris Columbus' "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" (or "Philosopher's Stone" if you live in the UK) made over $962 million at the box office back in 2001. Kids grew up with the books and with the movie series, merrily getting lost in a deep world of wizardly intrigue. Harry is a brave and resourceful youth who learns he's destined to do battle with Lord Voldemort, the snake-like warlock who murdered his parents.

In the wake of HBO developing the new Harry Potter series, a surprising piece of information surrounding the Og films has resurfaced. During a Twitter Q&a with The Times of India (via GQ India), it was revealed that a legendary Bollywood actor, Naseeruddin Shah, was once approached to audition for the role of Albus Dumbledore.

My agent wanted me to audition for Dumbledore’s character after Richard Harris died. I was asked if I would like to audition for it. But I wouldn’t audition for it.

Shah shared that his agent wanted him to try out for the part after the passing of Richard Harris, who originally played...

Although Game of Thrones originally aired live on HBO, its streaming home has always been directly tied to the various platforms connected with the studio that adapted George R. R. Martin's beloved literary saga. However, for the first time ever, Netflix subscribers could soon be granted access to every season of Game of Thrones and its spinoffs.

As confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix is set to acquire Warner Bros. in a deal worth a staggering $82.7 billion. Because HBO falls under the Warner Bros. umbrella, the studio is included in what Netflix will receive, which functionally means a change of ownership when it comes to who holds the rights...

It’s one thing to step into the role of an iconic and beloved literary character. It’s another thing to do so when another actor has already put their own stamp on the part. That’s the challenge for Dominic McLaughlin as he takes the lead role in HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series. He has to live up to the expectations of the millions of book readers in bringing Harry to life. More daunting is having to live up to Daniel Radcliffe’s excellent portrayal of Harry in the long-running movie series.

The pressure is big on all the young actors, with HBO already ordering a second season of the series.

Hace unas semanas, nos enteramos de que Daniel Radcliffe, nuestro eterno Harry Potter, había decidido pasar la varita a la siguiente generación, ahora que la historia de J. K. Rowling se prepara para renacer en forma de serie para HBO Max. Lo hizo poniéndose en contacto con Dominic McLaughlin, el pequeño actor de 11 años –misma edad que él tenía cuando consiguió el icónico papel– que será el encargado de dar vida al nuevo niño que sobrevivió y que ya se ha enfundado la túnica de Gryffindor.

J.K. Rowling may have written the Harry Potter novels, but for a Potterhead like me, who finds escapism in the Wizarding World, the whole thing started with the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I mean, before the Golden Trio, before Dumbledore, before Voldemort caused worldwide chaos, there were the four legendary founders.

And honestly, I’ve always been fascinated by these Og wizards and witches, their personalities, their values, and the kind of magic they believed in. I mean, they weren’t just powerful; they shaped generations of witches and wizards, including some of my favourite characters from the Harry Potter saga.

So today, I’m...

News of HBO’s new Harry Potter series is steady, with it most recently revealed that Rupert Grint has sent a letter to the new Ron Weasley, 11-year-old Alastair Stout, "wishing him all the best" and hoping "he has the same experience" as the original actor. However, Grint wasn't the first of the beloved trio to offer his best wishes, with Daniel Radcliffe also writing to his successor, Dominic McLaughlin.

"I just wanted to write to him to say, ‘I hope you have the best time, and an even better time than I did — I had a great time, but I hope you have an even better time,’" Radcliffe shared,...

When Harry Potter ended, many expected Rupert Grint to follow the same blockbuster path as Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson. However, the star had some other plans for himself, as he quietly stepped away from the Hollywood spotlight and built one of the most unexpected post-franchise careers in the industry.

After his work on the franchise, Grint chose to go with low-key roles. Like, in March 2012, it was reported that Grint had been cast alongside Chloë Grace Moretz in The Drummer, a biopic film about drummer Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys. Then, he also starred in a TV pilot for CBS called Super Clyde, though it didn’t become...

Dominic McLaughlin is taking over the role of Harry Potter in HBO’s series reboot and recently gave an interview on BBC’s “Saturday Mash-Up! Live,” where he said “it was insane” to receive a personal letter from none other than Daniel Radcliffe, who played the boy wizard in Warner Bros.’ eight-movie franchise. Radcliffe revealed last month that he wrote words of encouragement to McLaughlin before HBO’s “Harry Potter” series started filming.

“It was insane,” McLaughlin said about getting Radcliffe’s support. “My Dad tapped me on the train and just gave me this letter. I read it and then I got to the bottom, and it said, ‘Dan R.’ I was going mad, but I had to [keep cool]. I was on the train.”

McLaughlin added that filming on HBO’s “Harry Potter” series is “going amazing,” adding: “It’s going really well. I’ve made good friends with everyone,...

With HBO'sHarry Potter currently in production, the fantasy reboot has not shied away from remaining in the headlines, for better or worse. While much of the discourse has been far from wholesome, Daniel Radcliffe recently revealed that he sent a letter to the young cast, which was a breath of fresh air. Now, the star of HBO's reboot has reacted to Radcliffe's kind words.

In an interview with the BBC's Saturday Mash-Up! Live (via Variety), Harry Potter star Dominic McLaughlin reacted to receiving the letter from the film franchise's original star. The young actor is still busy filming the highly anticipated series, an experience he says has been "amazing" so far.

Rupert Grint, famous for playing the beloved Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter franchise, spoke to the BBC about reprising his role as the wizard in the future:

Maybe in the future. Never say never. But for now, I think as much as I loved it, I’m enjoying stepping outside of that world.

Another actor who reprised his role from the franchise is Tom Felton, playing the infamous Draco Malfoy in the Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Speculation runs deep as HBO is developing a reboot of the show, and we wonder what Grint thinks about the whole affair.

Rupert Grint Reflects on Playing Ron...

While Robert Pattinson may still be best known for playing the iconic vampire, Twilightstar Jackson Rathbone recalls thinking a very different Harry Potter star landed the role of Edward Cullen. Just prior to joining the Stephanie Meyer-based young adult franchise, Pattinson had made his film debut as Cedric Diggory in 2005's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Before he landed the role, however, numerous names were floated as potentially leading the Twilight cast as Edward, including that of Rathbone, who was notably one of the final four candidates to play the Cullen protagonist, the other two of whom were Evil Dead's Shiloh Fernandez and Shadow & Bone's Ben Barnes.

Don't let the generic name lead you astray — "Wild Target" is a particularly entertaining watch that's now available for streaming on Hulu. From director Jonathan Lynn ("My Cousin Vinny") and screenwriter Lucinda Coxon ("The Danish Girl"), this 2010 crime comedy caper is exactly the kind of casual fun to unwind with, in the great tradition of light-hearted but just suspenseful enough films about British criminal circles. Instead of going full Guy Ritchie, though, "Wild Target" opts for a measure of old-timey charm combined with a smart, funny plot — and, of course, major names up to the gills.

The thing about "Wild Target" is that while it's not what you'd call a critical darling,...

Of all the fantasy franchises that have come and gone, J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter has remained successful through generations because of its beloved storyline about magic, friendships, and unforgettable characters. But while people appreciate the iconic book-to-screen transformation of this whimsical land, one detail that often gets overlooked is the massive age gap between certain actors and their book counterparts.

Across eight Harry Potter films released between 2001 and 2011, the franchise brought Rowling’s magical world to the big screen with remarkable success. Yet, fans still wonder how accurate the casting really was, especially when it comes to age differences. Well, turns out, while the young cast were rather close in age to their characters,...

Everyone remembers Emma Watson’s character, Hermione Granger, who appears in the Harry Potter franchise, where she was established as a strong female character in the films and the books. And despite high demand, author J.K. Rowling revealed in an interview with The Times (via accio-quote) that she kept Hermione at the top, saying:

What irritates me is that I am constantly, increasingly, being asked ‘Can we have a strong female character, please?’ Like they are ordering a side order of chips. I am thinking ‘Isn’t Hermione strong enough for you?’ She is the most brilliant of the three and they need her. Harry needs her badly. But my...

If you’ve ever read Harry Potter, watched the movies, or even played Hogwarts Legacy, you’ve probably imagined which Hogwarts house you’d end up in. And turns out, Pottermore had made it easy for fans to find out their respective Hogwarts houses with just a few Q&As on the website’s Sorting Ceremony. In my case, I’m a Gryffindor.

But while in Pottermore, people don’t really get to choose their houses and are instead sorted into one based on their answers and algorithms, Hogwarts Legacy allows people to make choices. In 2023, Forbes took a poll of those fan-made choices in the video game, and the...

Even though it’s been decades since Emma Watson left the Harry Potter films, it seems that neither fans can forget her as Hermione Granger, and nor can she let go of her character’s spirit. Because if you remember well, in the books, Hermione fought for house-elf rights with S.P.E.W., carried stacks of books everywhere, and always stood up for what’s right.

And now, in the real world, Emma Watson seems to be doing the same, by channeling her inner Hermione Granger. From promoting gender equality to speaking at the United Nations, she has become a powerful voice for change. It seems that the actress...

Daniel Radcliffe has been tied to the role of Harry Potter for over 25 years. Although he hasn't played the character since 2011's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2, but, even different roles, the actor will forever be tied to the role of the Boys Who Lived.

This also came with a lot of questions about the hit franchise, as well as many jokes. The actor, however, has always been very open about his time filming Harry Potter, and has always talked about his experience. During an appearance on Late Night With Seth Myers, Radcliffe also revealed his condition about hearing Harry Potter jokes.

The former Boy Who Lived admitted...

Shirley Henderson was significantly older than the character she played in the Harry Potter films!

People might be shocked to learn about the age difference between the Scottish actress in real life and her spectral teenager in Chamber of Secrets and Goblet of Fire.

Shirley, 60, spoke with The Independent for an interview that was published last week about how she was actually a 37-year-old playing the eternally 14-year-old ghost known as Moaning Myrtle in the Harry Potter films.

“The casting director said, ‘Go for it – and don’t mention your age,’” she shared, adding that she’d done a “wee bit of moaning” and then landed the role.

Rupert Grint is sending his love to the new Harry Potter cast.

In a new interview with BBC News, the 37-year-old actor revealed that he wrote a letter “passing the baton” to Alastair Stout, who will be taking on the role of Ron Weasley in HBO’s upcoming TV series adaption of the beloved story.

Ever since HBO's Harry Potter TV series was first announced, Wizarding World fans have argued that it's far too soon for a reboot. However, while the final movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, was released in 2011, it's been nearly 25 years since The Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone was first brought to theaters.

The only original actor returning for the upcoming HBO series is Warwick Davis as Professor Flitwick. Every other major role has been recast, and we're obviously getting a new young Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

During a recent interview with the BBC (via SFFGazette.com), the big screen Ron Weasley, Rupert Grint, confirmed that he's reached out to his successor,...

When the Harry Potter reboot was first announced by HBO, longtime fans were curious how the cast of the big-screen franchise would feel or if they would be involved in such a project, with Ron Weasley actor Rupert Grint recently opening up about the revival. The actor sounds entirely happy to let the new generation of stars fully embrace the roles, as Grint revealed he wrote a letter to actor Alastair Stout to wish him luck in the endeavor. Much like Grint was, Stout is a relative unknown in Hollywood, with this new HBO series set to entirely change the course of his career, and his life.

Grint reflected on...

Rupert Grint is opening up about his reaction to being replaced in HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter reboot, and he admits the moment feels surprisingly surreal.

The actor, who originated Ron Weasley in the blockbuster film franchise, has been watching the new series take shape as HBO assembles a young cast for its book-faithful adaptation.

Speaking with the BBC about the recasting, Grint acknowledged that it is unusual to see another performer step into a role he grew up with, but he is genuinely curious to see how the new version unfolds.

It’s quite strange to have the cycle happening again … I’m really intrigued what it’s going to be like.

Rupert Grint has confessed he doesn’t feel as though he’ll ever step out of Ron Weasley’s shadow.

The British actor, beloved for his role in all of the Harry Potter films from 2001 to 2011, opened up about passing the baton in an interview with the BBC published over the weekend.

Grint said he wrote a letter to Alastair Stout, the young actor tapped to take on the part of Ron in HBO’s hotly anticipated Harry Potter series. Last week, Daniel Radcliffe explained he had done so with the titular star of the upcoming show, Dominic McLaughlin.

Grint, who was 11 when he was cast as the redheaded Gryffindor in the movie adaptations of J.K. Rowling’s best-selling books, said about Stout: “I wrote him a letter, before they started, passing the baton as it were. It was really just wishing him all the best with it. I...

Rupert Grint has reflected on never escaping Harry Potter nor his role as Ron Weasley in the movies ahead of HBO's upcoming TV series remake. Grint was a key Harry Potter cast member, portraying Ron across all eight movies. Much like his fellow actors, the role became a defining one for his career, which has continued since the series' end.

Now, Varietyreports that, while speaking with the BBC, Grint explained how he reached out to Alastair Stout, who will be playing Ron in HBO's Harry Potter remake, "wishing him all the best" in the role. He also spoke about what it was like to live in "Ron Weasley's shadow," saying...

For the first time since HBO officially announced itsHarry Potter series reboot,Rupert Grintis opening up about seeing a new generation step into the robes he once wore. Speaking with the BBC at a community Christmas event, the 37-year-old actor said he has made peace with the fact that Ron Weasley will follow him for the rest of his life.

“I’m unlikely to ever step out of Ron Weasley’s shadow,” Grint admitted. “I’m fine with that. I think it’s great. I love meeting people who really felt this was part of their childhood.”

But Grint also made a point of looking to help with the next generation.

Harry Potter season 1 is currently in production, and although it isn't expected to arrive until 2027, HBO has provided an update that will undoubtedly thrill fans of the franchise. As reported by Deadline, HBO chairman and CEO Casey Bloys confirmed that the show's writers have already begun working on the scripts for Harry Potter season 2.

Despite operating with such urgency, Bloys explains that "there'll be a break" when Harry Potter season 1 wraps before production on season two begins. That said, the HBO CEO also made it clear that the studio will do "whatever we can to not have a huge gap."

With each season of the upcoming adaptation set to address...

Rupert Grint recently told the BBC that he wrote new Ron Weasley actor Alastair Stout a letter before the child actor started production on HBO’s “Harry Potter” television series. Grint played Ron in the eight-film “Harry Potter” franchise from 2001 to 2011. HBO’s series reboot will feature Stout as Ron opposite fellow newcomers Dominic McLaughlin as Harry and Arabella Stanton as Hermione.

“I wrote him a letter before they started, passing the baton as it were,” Grint said. “It was really just wishing him all the best with it. I had so much fun stepping into this world, and I hope he has the same experience… It’s quite strange to have the cycle happening again. I’m really intrigued what it’s going to be like.”

Grint acknowledged there’s “a bit of family resemblance” between himself and Stout, adding: “I think it’s great that it’s a whole new thing.

Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has joined his friend Daniel Radcliffe in passing on some wisdom to the cast of the new HBO series.

In an interview with BBC News, Grint revealed that he had written to Alastair Stout, who is taking on the role of Ron Weasley in the reimagining of J.K. Rowling’s fantasy franchise.

“I wrote him a letter, before they started, passing the baton as it were,” he said. “It was really just wishing him all the best with it. I had so much fun stepping into this world, and I hope he has the same experience.”

Of the HBO series, Grint said: “It’s quite strange to have the cycle happening again … I’m really intrigued what it’s going to be like.”

Grint added that he sees “a bit of family resemblance” between himself and Stout. “I think it’s great that it’s a whole new thing.

Almost 25 years after the Harry Potter film series kicked off, HBO is rebooting the franchise with a new cast for a new generation. Replacing Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, the central trio will be played by Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout. As of right now, only one franchise star is slated to return, but many fans have speculated about whether the original leads will (or should) return.

This interest has only heightened after Tom Felton, who played the antagonistic Draco Malfoy, returned to the Wizarding World. Not only that did Felton return, but he actually reprised his original role in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway.

Rupert Grint revealed in a recent interview with the BBC that he wrote a letter passing the baton to Alastair Stout, the young actor who will succeed him as Ron Weasley in HBO’s upcoming “Harry Potter” series.

Grint, who is now 37-years-old and a father of two, starred as Ron Weasley in all eight of the iconic “Harry Potter” films. Stout’s will be the first on-screen performance of Ron seen since “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” in 2011.

“I wrote him a letter, before they started, passing the baton as it were,” Grint said of Stout, who is 11-years-old — the same age Grint was when cast.

HBO’s adaptation of the highly acclaimed tale of Harry Potter has already entered production for its first season. However, the CEO of HBO, Casey Bloys, gave a startling update about the series. As per Collider, the CEO revealed during a press conference on November 20 that the second season of Harry Potter is already being penned, detailing that the writers are currently coming up with ideas.

I don’t know if it’s going to be like stop shooting Season 1 on Friday and start Season 2 on Monday. There’ll be a break in there, but we’re going to do whatever we can to not have a huge gap. For the kids,...

Harry Potter might be getting a new reboot with HBO's television series, but the interest in the original stars is still high, especially since Tom Felton just reprised his role as Draco Malfoy on stage for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway. Rupert Grint has also opened up about the hit film series.

Grint was a quintessential part of the film series, as he played Ron Weasley, a part of the Golden Trio alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson. As Radcliffe gave his blessing to the upcoming show, Grint also addressed the possibility of a return as Ron when speaking to the BBC. At the same time, he...

Harry Potter star Oliver Phelps opened up about introducing the fantasy series to his daughter, including her reaction to seeing her father on screen. Phelps and his twin brother James Phelps made their acting debuts in the very first Harry Potter movie back in 2001.

They went on to appear in the rest of the series as George and Fred Weasley and have stayed involved with the franchise via the theme parks and a competition show on the Food Network. Oliver Phelps has two daughters with his wife Katy Humphage, whom he married in 2015. Autumn and Emilia are now at the age where they're discovering Harry Potter for the first time,...

Originally, Harry Potter was supposed to arrive on HBO in 2026, but then the series was pushed back a year. This did have us somewhat concerned about the future of the show, but HBO has some great news.

One of the issues with pushing the show back was on the renewal. More often than not, the networks want to see how a show is performing before it hands out a renewal, and that means production can’t start until after the first season has aired.

While that’s annoying for viewers, it becomes a bigger problem for a series like Harry Potter, but HBO has thought about that.

HBO revealed a major update about Harry Potterseason 2, even though filming is still underway on season 1. Audiences watched the young actors, including Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson, grow up before their very eyes in the Harry Potter movies. Any filming gaps became noticeable on-screen as the cast went from kids to teenagers to adults.

At HBO's Global Programming Slate Preview, CEO Casey Bloys opened up about the future of the Harry Potter TV show beyond season 1, particularly when it came to the filming schedule and the actors growing up. He said that he and the team will "do whatever we can to not have a huge [filming] gap for the kids,...

“Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling visited the set of the new TV series HBO is filming based on her books.

The series entered production in July, with filming taking place at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden and elsewhere in the U.K. It is set to be released on HBO and HBO Max sometime in 2027.

Rowling has become a controversial figure in the years following the mega-popularity of the “Harry Potter” books and films due to regularly sharing anti-trans views. She first voiced her sentiments in June 2020, at which point Warner Bros. released a statement saying that “a diverse and inclusive culture has never been more important” without directly denouncing Rowling’s words or mentioning trans people. Rowling has doubled down constantly since then; Variety reported in 2024 that she had “posted or reposted more than 200 times (excluding replies) about trans-related issues” in just a two-month period.

Several actors from “Harry Potter” as well as “Fantastic Beasts,...

The upcoming Harry Potter reboot arrives with more than just nostalgic anticipation; it also comes with renewed attention on a cast member openly distancing himself from the author who created the world, J.K. Rowling.

Nick Frost, the actor stepping into the role of Hagrid, recently made it clear that his personal views and Rowling’s views are not exactly aligned, particularly when it comes to her stance on trans rights, according to his comments in an interview with The Observer.

She’s allowed her opinion and I’m allowed mine, they just don’t align in any way, shape or form.

Rather than dodging the topic, Frost acknowledged the divide directly and respectfully,...

More than two decades after Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban first shook up the fandom, a clever theory is making the rounds again. Honestly, it tidies up one of those long-standing plot holes. The whole mystery revolves around why Fred and George, who practically lived inside the Marauder’s Map, somehow never noticed that their little brother had been sharing a dorm with a fully grown man disguised as a rat.

In the wake of the new Harry Potter series, Potterheads on Reddit are buzzing over a strange and fascinating theory surrounding the possibility of the Horcrux in Harry getting destroyed way before the events of Deathly Hallows. U/nanny2359 questioned what if a Dementor had actually sucked out Harry’s soul during Prisoner of Azkaban? Would it remove the part of Voldemort’s soul from Harry?

Considering how Voldemort’s soul in Harry was the weaker one, prone to getting sucked out by the Dementors, could a Dementor’s Kiss have sucked out that “digesting” soul fragment, which was actually the Horcrux? This Reddit theory has opened up a whole set of “what ifs,...

With a brand-new cast set to reimagine Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe revealed what he told his replacement in a private letter. Fourteen years after the final movie, production got underway on a new TV show remake of Harry Potter, with Dominic McLaughlin, Alastair Stout, and Arabella Stanton stepping into the roles made famous by Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson.

During an interview on Good Morning America to promote his next Broadway show, Every Brilliant Thing, Radcliffe opened up about the kind words he sent to McLaughlin in a letter after he was cast as Harry Potter in the TV show.

Get ready to step back into the Wizarding World — literally. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is coming back to theaters, but not in the traditional way fans might expect. Instead of a standard rerelease, Warner Bros. and Cosm are teaming up to transform the beloved 2001 classic into a full-fledged shared reality experience. Think theaters… if theaters were 87-foot LED domes that swallow you whole.

Cosm announced that its immersive venues in Los Angeles and Dallas will host the debut, with expansions to Detroit and Atlanta set for next year. Unlike a simple remaster or anniversary screening, this version of Sorcerer’s Stone is being rebuilt specifically for Cosm’s...

Ahead of Harry Potter's live-action reboot on HBO, the very first Harry Potter adaptation is returning in a brand-new way. On Monday, Warner Bros. Pictures and Cosm announced a new "shared reality" production of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is headed to Cosm's venues located in Los Angeles and Dallas, as well as those set to open in Detroit and Atlanta in 2026.

According to Variety, the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone shared reality experience will be set in Cosm's 87-foot LED dome theaters, enabled with "full-dome filmmaking technology." It is the third Warner Bros. movie to receive Cosm's shared reality treatment, following The Matrix and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Tom Felton, best known for playing Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter franchise, has once again shown public support for author J.K. Rowling amid ongoing controversy over her gender-critical comments.

The actor recently reprised his role in the Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Lyric Theatre in New York, marking an emotional return to the stage.

During a curtain call, Felton was visibly moved by the audience’s cheers, which were so loud that his dialogue was almost drowned out. Despite criticism from some quarters about his decision to return to the franchise, he has remained steadfast in both his loyalty to the series and to Rowling.
