The Boy Who Lived is back – in a behind-the-scenes documentary of HBO’s upcoming adaptation of the “Harry Potter” books.
Released April 5, the 30-minute special, titled “Finding Harry: The Craft Behind the Magic,” gave viewers a glimpse at the creation of Season 1, which is currently being filmed at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in the U.K.
The documentary delved into the finer details of the large-scale production, including the casting process to find Harry, Ron and Hermione, as well as the life-like animal animatronics handcrafted for the show and the curation of a 1991-set wardrobe.
“The world of ‘Harry Potter’ is already legendary,” said the documentary’s narrator, Nick Frost. “Its legacy is still growing as a new generation discovers its magic. An exciting new era is upon us.”
HBO’s “Harry Potter” series debuts on Christmas Day.
Below are all the things we learned from “Finding Harry: The Craft Behind the Magic.”
