They clarify that the difference between the series and the movies is that now the uniforms are more ironed.

Hogwarts Miscellaneous.- After showing the first images of the Harry Potter series, the producers confirmed that, indeed, it is the same as the films... only now the students will have ironed uniforms.

Although it was initially believed that this new project would be substantially different from what we saw in the films, that idea was dismissed with the first photos in which Harry is seen accompanied by Hagrid heading to Diagon Alley in search of his magical/school supplies.

“So, it's the same thing with other actors who are also the most similar to the originals?” asked one fan of the saga who still had hopes for the series.

This new Harry Potter project is nothing like the original.

While HBO tried its best to keep footage from the shoot from leaking to maintain the surprise until the first season premiere, it was already impossible to stop the leaks.

“If you look closely, Hagrid’s beard looks longer and scruffier here,” the director explained, completely ruling out the idea that everything will be identical to the films.

Finally, the director of this first season confirmed that the Hogwarts student uniforms will be ironed, "including those of Slytherin," confirming that this version will be radically different from what was seen in the film series at the beginning of the century.

And in case you missed it: The Russian foreign minister arrived at the meeting with Trump wearing a Soviet Union shirt... and well, the Simpsons did it again.
