It’s official, two unscripted specials celebrating Harry Potter will be premiering later this year! The news comes from WarnerMedia Kids & Family, who announced that the specials would mark the 20th anniversary of the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone film later this year.
One of the specials is set to be a limited Harry Potter fan quiz competition series. The other is a dedicated retrospective special. Both were designed to help find “some of the biggest self-proclaimed fans” to celebrate and test their knowledge of the beloved Harry Potter franchise.
The limited series will be four one-hour quiz challenges followed by the film retrospective–all of which, are set to premiere on HBO Max, Cartoon Network, and TBS in the U.S. later this year.
