The first is a limited Harry Potter fan quiz competition series that will see the biggest self-proclaimed fans go head-to-head to celebrate and test their Wizarding World knowledge. Following each of the four hour-long quiz challenges is the dedicated retrospective special.  Casting for the special, produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon, is currently underway in the United States. The limited series will  premiere on HBO Max, Cartoon Network, and TBS in the U.S. later this year.

Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics. “All Potter fans can gear up for this ultimate one-of-a-kind celebration by embracing their inner Hermione Granger and studying their Wizarding World knowledge.
