It is estimated to have pulled in a little over 100 million views at the 48-hour mark.<\/p>\n<p>The recent third-season trailer for \u201cEuphoria\u201d was also a massive hit with just under 100 million views in 48 hours when it released in January.<\/p>\n<p>Numbers for the trailers for shows like \u201cHouse of the Dragon\u201d and \u201cIT: Welcome to Derry\u201d weren\u2019t released, but are expected to be under that.  Third parties suggested the third season trailer for \u2018Dragon\u2019 was around 70-80 million.<\/p>\n<p>The new series will launch this Christmas with Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley.  The reception for the trailer has been varied with inevitable comparisons drawn to the films.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/creative-content\/tv-shows\/harry-potter-trailer-hbo-viewership\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Wrap<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Previous article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/project-hail-mary-early-cut-was-nearly-4-hours\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cProject Hail Mary\u201d Early Cut Was Nearly 4 Hours<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/tv-news-kennedys-talamasca-wizard-spirits\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TV News: Kennedy, Talamasca, Wizard, Spirits<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HBO Max This week\u2019s trailer for HBO\u2019s \u201cHarry Potter\u201d TV series has shattered records for the premium cabler.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499636,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[94966,96,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-499635","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-bigslider","tag-entertainment","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=499635"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499635\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499636"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
