Description

When J.K. Rowling’s beloved boy wizard came to the big screen in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, it kicked off a movie franchise that has reaped $7.7 billion at the global box office, and held audiences spellbound through each successive magical film. The power that Harry, his loyal friends Ron and Hermione, and a whole cast of wizards, muggles, witches and creatures have, continues to this day — and now a new TV series is on the way from the streaming series Max that promises to keep Harry’s adventures alive for a whole new generation. In this special collector’s issue, we look back at the origins of Harry’s story; delve into the enchanting — and terrifying — beings he meets at Hogwarts and beyond and discover what the actors who portrayed them are doing today; relive the adventures and captivating special effects of the eight films; and look ahead to what the future holds for the Wizarding World.
