As 1news.az reports citing RBC, the clip shows the festive feast of the students in the Great Hall of Hogwarts. The video features Harry, Ron, Hermione and other students of the school of magic, gathered at long tables after being sorted into houses. The students chant "Dumbledore" - the name of the school's headmaster. Then he snaps his fingers and dishes appear on the tables.
At the teachers' table, Albus Dumbledore, played by John Lithgow, talks with Professor McGonagall, portrayed by Janet McTeer.
The "Harry Potter" series is being created by Warner Bros., with HBO as its division. The series will be based on the seven books by writer J.K.
