HBO has surprised fans by releasing a 90-second scene from its Harry Potter series, set during the start-of-term feast at Hogwarts. The preview follows the students at the table after the new arrivals have been sorted into their houses, with Dominic McLaughlin as Harry and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley.

The clip features the two students alongside professors Albus Dumbledore, played by John Lithgow, and Minerva McGonagall, played by Janet McTeer. Moving between the boys’ conversation and the adults’, the scene captures the gathering that welcomes students to the school.

Harry asks whether Dumbledore is a bit mad, and Ron replies that the headmaster is completely bonkers. Dumbledore then snaps his fingers, making the feast appear before the students.

The preview also includes a conversation between the professors about Harry and his family.

Dumbledore asks whether McGonagall is pleased that Harry has been sorted into Gryffindor. She remarks on the boy’s resemblance to his father, James Potter. The headmaster then observes that appearances can be deceiving and that Harry has a nature of his own.

The cast also includes Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape and Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid. Bel Powley and Daniel Rigby play Harry’s aunt and uncle, Petunia and Vernon Dursley.

Succession alumni Francesca Gardiner and Mark Mylod are handling writing and directing duties, respectively. Gardiner also serves as showrunner and executive producer. Mylod directs several episodes and is also an executive producer.

The Harry Potter series premieres on December 25 on HBO.

With reporting from Deadline.
