Nesse momento, Hans Zimmer está pensando na trilha sonora da abertura da série Harry Potter da HBO e nos temas centrais dos personagens. Vivendo para ouvir essa trilha no final do ano.

Será que vai rolar uma pequena homenagem à Hedwig's Theme?

Miss Marple is right there...Poirot already has a great adaptation that covered all books https://t.co/455cPY87tZ

JK Rowling mansplained, by Sarah Ditum (@sarahditum)

What happened to JK Rowling? If only there were some kind of primary source that could tell us why she became interested in the clash between trans activism and women’s rights — say, a first-person essay.

But alas, the archive is silent. It must be, because why else would two male podcasters have taken it upon themselves to solve this supposed mystery?

This week, the ‘Origin Story’ podcast, hosted by indistinguishable journalists Ian Dunt and Dorian Lynskey, bravely shouldered the burden of analysing Rowling over the course of two episodes.

Do they succeed? Not remotely. But they do offer a fascinating insight into what happens when a certain kind of progressive man becomes radicalised by Bluesky.

I will be thinking about *nothing* else today. Open pursuit!!!!

[Professor Adalbert Waffling @ProfWaffling]

I'd be so much more excited if we were getting a podcast for the TV series!

[Multiverso Potter @multiversohp]

A unica imagem que temos até hoje de James e Lily da série são eles de costas,gravando o flashback da noite do assassinato. HBO segurando ao máximo o casting deles

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

Agatha Christie knew poisons so well, her books have been consulted when diagnosing patients. In 1976, a London infant was dying of a rare illness. Her nurses, having read The Pale Horse, realized she had been poisoned with thallium. Murder mysteries saved her life.

[The Lord of the Rings @TheRingsofPower]

The Dark Lord returns. Season 3 begins November 11, 2026

[Professor Adalbert Waffling @ProfWaffling]

Also rly looking forward to Diag Alley and Hogsmeade getting more screen time. Both v 2D in the movies (particularly Hogsmeade & the odd snow decision-nowhere in the UK do we regularly get that much snow). Hope they film somewhere onsite like a quaint Cotswold villag! Exciting!😍

[Professor Adalbert Waffling @ProfWaffling]

There's no denying the movies got a lot right about Hogwarts (interior at least, the exterior is completely off IMHO) but I'm really looking forward to seeing even more of Hogwarts. Hopefully they keep some of the filming locations (like Lacock) and add some more!

[Professor Adalbert Waffling @ProfWaffling]

Tom Riddle?!

[Buzz Crave @BuzzCrave_]

Louis Partridge has reportedly auditioned to be cast as Cedric Diggory in the HBO Harry Potter series.

[Professor Adalbert Waffling @ProfWaffling]

How wonderful, I love that Maggie's sons both look a bit like her. Toby Stephens is a phenomenon in Jane Eyre 😍

[Wizarding World Direct @WW_Direct]

Shepperton Studios has honored Maggie Smith by unveiling The Maggie Smith Stage 🥹

A private ceremony was held, attended by her sons Toby Stephens and Christopher Larkin, as well as many of her friends and family members

“We are deeply touched by this recognition. Our mother would have been honoured to have her own stage at Shepperton, a place she had fond memories of and that means so much to the industry she dearly loved.”

[Professor Adalbert Waffling @ProfWaffling]

@NargleInAFez So so beautiful

[Professor Adalbert Waffling @ProfWaffling]

@That_N8 Same, it's so beautiful but hard to imagine some of the most impactful scenes translating to screen. Trying to keep an open mind tho, they paid a lot of money and presumably would have had several directors pitch their versions of Narnia, so hopefully Netflix are being smart!! 😋

[Professor Adalbert Waffling @ProfWaffling]

Please be good, please be good.

[N8 @That_N8]

"Currently, the most expensive movies Netflix has ever produced are “The Electric State,” which cost a mind-boggling $320M, “The Irishman” at $225M, and “Red Notice” and “The Gray Man,” both of which cost $200M."

What a stellar track record, Netflix.

[Professor Adalbert Waffling @ProfWaffling]

Cameo in the TV series please?!

[Professor Adalbert Waffling @ProfWaffling]

@That_N8 It's the accents and the slightly basic dialogue for me (although I'm hoping the latter is simply the way the trailer is cut).
