We knew it was coming. There was no stopping it. There’s money to be made! Just not by me. That new Harry Potter TV show on HBO has a trailer.

I think they could have made a better trailer. Like…we all know Harry Potter. We all know the big scenes and the movies and the characters and stuff. Would it have been weird to make a trailer that just sort of…recreates those famous scenes, but with the new actors? This trailer seems like a real trailer, as if teasing a brand new project…but then also not…it’s weird. Or maybe my cold is just fogging my brain just enough that I’m not getting it.

It all looks fine to me. I’ll probably watch. I like Nick Frost. I hope the kids involved are OK. J.K. Rowling sucks.

The Harry Potter TV show — full title being Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, because of course — will arrive around Christmas.
