Keep twiddling those dials: the first official Harry Potter podcast is coming on the 19th of May. Launching in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Harry Potter: The Official Film Podcast will journey through the eight beloved films in sixteen episodes.

Join host Rhianna Dhillon, proud Slytherin, lifelong fan, and acclaimed film critic and broadcaster, as she and a rotating roster of co-hosts celebrate the emotional depth, imaginative world‑building and filmmaking brilliance that defined a generation. We’ll let Rhianna herself tell you more:

Each episode takes you into the Pensieve with a high-level recap, before diving deep into the moments we are required to discuss; exploring key themes, analysing the cinematic choices, and dissecting the stories with a fresh perspective. A regular Magic Makers segment sees Rhianna joined by behind-the-scenes special guests who reveal what it took to bring the wizarding world to life on screen.

With years of industry expertise and a lifetime of authentic fandom, Rhianna is well placed to guide all fans through this journey. Rhianna and each co-host will share their own personal Harry Potter stories, reminiscing on that first watch, remarking on how each film still resonates today, and inviting you to do the same.

Harry Potter: The Official Film Podcast will premiere with a special two‑episode launch, with new episodes dropping weekly thereafter. You can watch the video version of the podcast exclusively on HBO Max, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
