The "Harry Potter" series, being reborn as a Hollywood drama, will be released domestically at the end of the year.
On the 21st, Coupang Play said in an official statement that "the HBO original series 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone' will be released exclusively in Korea in the second half of this year."
'Harry Potter' is a popular British fantasy novel written by Joanne K. Rowling. It was previously adapted into eight films and received great love from fans around the world. Among them, the first film of the 'Harry Potter' series is being released as a drama series 25 years after its initial release, drawing the attention of original fans.
The newly produced 'Harry Potter' drama will have original author Joanne K. Rowling directly participating as an executive producer and is planned to be produced as a series over 10 years with a next-generation cast. The three leads, who generated buzz from the announcement, were cast as Dominic MacRae Flinn as Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley.
The 'Harry Potter' series proved its anticipation when the official trailer released last month surpassed 270 million views in just two days, setting a record as HBO's biggest hit in history. Accordingly, on the 16th, Coupang Play released the documentary about the series' filming, 'Finding Harry: The Wizards Behind the Camera.'
The HBO original series 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone' is scheduled to premiere to coincide with Christmas this year. According to Coupang Play, it is expected to be released domestically in the second half of this year after processes such as Korean subtitle preparation and translation review. <
