On his 11th birthday, a letter of admittance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry opens up a hidden world for Harry: one of fun, friendship and magic. But with this new adventure comes great risk as Harry is forced to face a dangerous enemy from his past.”

The wizarding world of ‘Harry Potter’ is back with a new series this time. Potterheads will once again get to enjoy the magical world of the ‘Harry Potter’ universe with ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone’ series. While these series will also be based on author JK Rowling’s ‘Harry Potter’ series, what makes them stand apart from the movies is how in-depth the characters’ story will be. With eight seasons of the series, each season will focus on the books and show you the backstory and history of the characters that were missed in the movies. With the remake, fans can also expect to see more of Lily and James Potter’s backstory, which was missed as they had passed away at the beginning of the first film. Fans will also get to see more into Harry’s life in the Muggle world and more into the Dursley family.
