First of all: happy back to Hogwarts day, and second of all: welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory.
Like we normally see, the official Harry Potter social channels have been particularly active today — and with the HBO show fast approaching, you can bet your bottom dollar we’ve got some updates.
And perhaps the biggest updates actually came from an interview with David Heyman on the official Harry Potter YouTube channel. If you don’t know who David Heyman is..He produced ALL 8 of the original films. I’ve taken the liberty of listening to the full interview, and I wanted to share some of my findings as Heyman reveals quite a lot about the upcoming show.
