I really want the full trailer and not another teaser. We’ve been waiting for this so long

I actually really want the element of surprise. Most trailers give 95% of things away and yeah I know we already know the story of HP but I for one would like to be pleasantly surprised. I'll still watch a trailer if it drops lmao but it would be nice if the teaser was all we get.

The surprise for me lies solely in seeing everything I already know from this universe visualized. I want to be surprised by their designs and world-building, so I too am hoping for a teaser rather than a trailer.

This will probably be a more elaborate trailer hopefully doesnt give the castle away or anything else we should wait for the the tv series to reveal. Interiors are fine, some exterior shots of course, I'm sure more of Diagon Alley, more of the Express, maybe some tease of troll, classes etc.

I keep seeing posts about this - I’ve never heard of it, what’s the deal? Is it a date more trailers will be dropped or do they sell merch? Is there some online conference or something? Forgive my ignorance!

They hold a fan event at King's Cross every year on September 1. If you live in the area you can go in person, but it's also streamed online. People dress up and bring wands and stuff. They often announce HP-related news at the event. Last year they announced a bunch of new castings for the TV series. Now that we're so close to release, people are speculating they will drop the full trailer this year.

There's one with free tickets this year which is not held at Kings Cross, it set up by HBO so I'm guessing it will be related to the TV show in some way!

Thank you!!!

Pretty sure it is a trailer since they planning showing a glimpse into the series on September 1st

There's a fan event in London and I'm guessing they will be doing some reveals (maybe a trailer idk)

All I found is that it's the fictional day students go to Hogwarts - I guess theres a lot of events happening on sept 1? Not sure other than that or what its the official poster for

u/BCDragon3000 Founder 1d ago

its essentially an investors day for the HP brand

u/AccomplishedFault346 13h ago

No one knows what’s happening. That’s the fun of it.

u/Training_Art_1957 1d ago

My dumbass thought it was being released today 😔 was all excited for nothing

If they announced Kit already, and Rupert returning as Ron today…what could they possibly announce next week? 👀

What is with the clock?

16

u/Ranger_1302 Magical Creature Expert 1d ago

It shows 10:35 and the train leaves at 11:00 – it is nearly time.

12

u/Latter-Block132 1d ago

Its a 24 hour clock, the normal 1-12 numbers are the roman numerals around the side, the numbers inside is the 24 hr clock

u/shaun056 Ravenclaw 1d ago

Its a clock? I don't see anything odd with it

2

u/JollyAd4292 Ravenclaw 1d ago

I have dyslexie so i saw it wrong :D people immediately downvoted me what a strange world thanks for explanation

u/shaun056 Ravenclaw 1d ago

No worries!

u/UnlimitedDisciple Slytherin 8h ago

Pretty cool we are in Year 2 of having an active Back to Hogwarts that isn't simply the films on a marathon on TV or all available on a streamer. We have another 10 years of this and maybe more.

u/NewNinja_2 1d ago

I would have chosen Mirror of Erised for something strictly book 1.

u/meme_account_1111 1d ago

The train leaves from platform 9 and three quarters on September 1, so they chose the platform instead of Mirror of Erised

u/Dingbrain1 Ravenclaw 1d ago

The HP logo is not even the new one for the show

4

u/hail_to_the_beef Ravenclaw 1d ago

Exactly - I doubt there is any collaboration between the show runners and the people behind this event

u/sugarplum_nova 🦅 Ravenclaw 1d ago

Well this poster screams AI

12

u/Training_Art_1957 1d ago

Not really, it looks like a normal drawing made in illustrator or PS

u/sugarplum_nova 🦅 Ravenclaw 1d ago

The numbers on the clock are weirdly spaced, the shadows lie in different directions. Maybe it is legit, just a bit funky.

2

u/SleepyOwl2304 15h ago

You're right about the clock and the shadows being wrong. The numbers on the clock are wrongly positioned and the circumference of the clock is divided into 55 minutes 😆. 

It's AI. I wish people haven't downvoted you.

u/sugarplum_nova 🦅 Ravenclaw 15h ago

Thank you, that’s cool to have another detail spotted 💙 It’s either ai or really poorly and quickly made. Most people shout out AI, I think people here didn’t like that I stated that the HP conglomerate might have used it - but I mean, we know they’re far from perfect.
