The new image shows Harry (Dominic McLaughlin) in a Quidditch cloak as he stands behind a large group of students. The cloak is decorated with the colors of Gryffindor and shows Harry’s name and his player number, seven.
Is the trailer coming tomorrow?
In the short description of the picture there is only one word:tomorrow
, or in Germanmorgen
. So it is extremely likely, almost certain, that there will be new information about the series tomorrow, i.e. on March 25, 2026.
Maybe there will even be a first teaser or trailer. After all, filming has been underway since mid-2025, so it’s conceivable.
