Fans of "Harry Potter" can test their knowledge
of the books and films in a new TV quiz competition series being
launched by WarnerMedia to air later this year as part of
20th-anniversary celebrations of the first film in the
adventures of the boy wizard.
WarnerMedia said on Wednesday that casting was open for fans who
want to take part in the four, one-hour quiz challenges.
The quiz shows will be part of a five-night retrospective
special featuring surprise guests that will also include what
WarnerMedia called a "play-along" component in which Potter fans
can take part by dressing up at home.
The specials will be televised on HBO MAX, Cartoon Network and
TBS later this year.
"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," the first movie
adaptation of J.K. Rowling's best-selling series, was released
in November 2001. The eight Harry Potter movies became one of
the world's biggest movie franchises, taking in some $7.7
billion at the global box office.
As for the answers to those questions, Gryffindors are students
in one of the four houses of Hogwarts, the boarding school for
aspiring wizards that Harry attends, while Dementors are
gliding, wraithlike creatures that feed on human happiness.
Severus Snape, a professor at Hogwarts, is the Half-Blood
Prince. And Ollivanders is a wand shop in Diagon Alley in
London.
