HBO Max wants to charm viewers into watching (or rewatching) the original eight “Harry Potter” movies with a new podcast that digs deep into Warner Bros.’s cinematic Wizarding World.

“Harry Potter: The Official Film Podcast” is set to debut May 19, with a special two‑episode launch about the first film, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” (known outside the U.S. as “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”). New episodes will drop weekly thereafter. The podcast’s episodes run approximately 60 minutes each with two episodes dedicated to each film, for a total of around 16 hours.
