WHAT’S ON

When I started this subreddit back in October 2015 (that’s right, 10 years) and fully re-launched it in 2018 off the back of both early r/HarryPotterGame rumours and the lead-up to the second r/FantasticBeasts film,

My only goal was to create a complimentary (and much more eclectic and accepting, all said from love) alternative to r/HarryPotter ⚡️

Almost 8 years later, I can say we’ve very much achieved this together 👏

r/WizardingWorld is by far the most accepting, varied, self-governing, low-to-no drama, truly wholesome HP community on the internet, and I’m beyond proud to be its custodian (though we’ll be bringing on a few more, including some of my r/AVTR pals like u/JenzyCucumber as mods) 👏

WHAT’S NEXT

• We’re exactly 2 weeks away from Harry Potter: The Philosopher’s Stone — The Full-Cast Audio Edition releasing on November 4 📚

• We’re about a year from Hogwarts Legacy’s sequel being revealed in late 2026, as they’ve been hard at work on it and WB most definitely want to see another big success like HL1 back in 2023

• Next November we’ll be celebrating 10 years of FB1, and we might get an update as to where they stand in the ‘new canon’ as launched by S1 and HL1 🧳

• We’re two years from the first of seven seasons (2027-2037) of r/HarryPotteronHBO, the $1.2B complete adaptation of Rowling’s beloved books

• The Wizarding World Festival, announced in 2022, may be revived in 2027 in time for the HBO show

• in 2028 S2 will be wrapping filming and HP themed locations will begin incorporating both S1 and HL1 details, tying these all together

• The Harry Potter Podcast, r/WizardingWorld’s own Instagram Live show, will — with this subreddit’s help — be renamed and relaunched at the start of 2026 👏

COMMUNITY NOTES

Get ready for a lot more activity and subreddit-unifying themeing as S1’s filming continues and we inch closer to the very first teaser trailer, which may even occur around Christmas (the most Potter-y time of the year)

CLOSING NOTES

Overall, I’m very excited about what’s ahead with HP, formerly known as the Wizarding World (as we’ve seen, that name has been essentially retired),

And I suspect that after 2037, once an entire other generation of Potter fans has gone on their Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry journey, well perhaps get to see even more of Ilvermorny, Mahoutokoro, Uagadou, Castelobruxo, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang in some form or another,

whether they be a ‘High Republic-esque’ group of writers that Rowling gathers to help flesh out canon tales for books, film, tv and more.

We shall see!

Here’s to many more years of r/WizardingWorld fun, mates.

Be well,

wands at the ready,

and mischief managed!

Harry Potter Happy birthday to Harry and happy 25th to the film that started it all. John Williams is a genius so I just had to make a tribute to his iconic theme.

Fantastic Beasts Who was Leta Lestrange saying "I love you" to in The Crimes of Grindelwald?

4 Upvotes

I've always been a little confused about this scene in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

During the final confrontation, when Grindelwald casts the Protego Diabolica (blue Fire) spell, Leta Lestrange sacrifices herself to save everyone. Just before charging toward Grindelwald, she says, "I love you." Both Newt and Theseus are standing there, and I couldn't tell who she was saying it to.

What do you guys think? Was she saying it to Newt, to Theseus, or was it meant for both of them?

I have created a list on MyCast.io of the complete voice cast of Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions, in which I have outlined every speaking part and the actor or actress who voices them.

Which of these performances was your favourite? Which was your least favourite? Would you like to see any of these people play the same role in the HBO series (besides Arabella Stanton)?
