Hogwarts fills Harry's glasses in HBO's new poster reveal

The official Harry Potter channel pairs a December 25 series announcement with Stephen Fry's troll-interrupted Halloween at Hogwarts.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Everyone will know his name. The HBO Series Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone arrives Dec 25.

Harry Potter's round glasses hold a whole castle in the week's most watched new upload. Hogwarts appears reflected in one lens, followed by the words "THE BOY WHO LIVED." This is a brief promotional poster reveal for HBO's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, with the series' December 25 arrival printed on screen, rather than a new scene from the show.

The comments turn toward the next trailer, plans to watch during Christmas break and questions about availability in different countries. There is also some cautious curiosity about changes to familiar details. The reveal drew a larger audience than the channel's other new upload, though the earlier official teaser trailer remains its most active video, having passed 11 million views.

The second release offers a different way back to Harry's first year: Stephen Fry narrating chapter 10, with a Charms lesson, a Halloween feast and a mountain troll interrupting proceedings. It is the chapter that turns Harry, Ron and Hermione's difficult beginnings into friendship. The longer Fry collection covering chapters 10-13 also remains among the channel's most active uploads.

Across the catalog, the week brought roughly nine million views while subscribers stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is running well above its usual level. Among nearby film channels, Warner Bros. Classics and Lionsgate Movies had larger weekly audiences, while Paramount Pictures had a smaller one. Harry Potter's own week kept the focus firmly on the first book, in both a returning narration and a new screen adaptation.
