Harry Potter Trailer Divides Fans Over HBO TV Show

HBO has officially released the first trailer for its upcoming Harry Potter TV show, and reactions to it have been fairly divisive over the new show.

What are people saying about the Harry Potter trailer?

Reactions to the new trailer range from people saying the show looks unexpectedly good all the way to the show not looking good at all. While several people are excited for the new show, there have been several reactions commenting on the show’s dark and dreary look.

Another loud reaction to the show includes the overall sentiment of confusion as to why it’s being released at all. The original Harry Potter films aren’t that old, comparatively, which leaves many fans wondering what the point of a reboot is. Check out some reactions to the trailer below:

The HBO Harry Potter trailer reminds me of the 1998 Psycho remake. All I can think while watching it is…why? https://t.co/EZhKdcp0v4

Looks really well produced, the sets and costumes are great… but I feel zero magic. It’s missing that little spark. Maybe I'm just too nostalgic for the color grading of the 2001 film

Why is this color graded like a Jason Bourne movie ?
