“Harry Potter” fans got a bit of a surprise on Thursday morning.
There is a new series in the works at HBO based on the famous book series by J.K. Rowling, and the show premieres Dec. 25.
That’s going to make Christmas even bigger for a lot of fans of Rowling’s work. It’s expected that each season will cover one book in the series.

That means the upcoming “Harry Potter” series will be at least seven seasons long. The books were broken down into a total of eight films, with the final book being split into two films.
There has been significant buzz on social media ever since the series was first announced. Things got ramped up once previews were released, and a new poster dropped Thursday that is also generating plenty of interest and reactions.
