The teaser also includes glimpses of Harry boarding the Hogwarts Express and arriving at Hogwarts, with brief looks at the Great Hall, the Quidditch pitch, and the Sorting Hat, all classic moments from the first \"Harry Potter\" book.

\"Are you really Harry Potter?\" Ron asks Harry in the trailer's final moments.

When Harry confirms, Ron jokingly makes an explosion sound while pointing to the lightning bolt scar on Harry's forehead.

The new HBO show is described as a faithful adaptation of the books by J.K. Rowling, who serves as an executive producer on the series.

The books previously spawned an eight-movie film franchise, released between 2001 and 2011, which starred Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger.
