Harry Potter<\/a>\u201d books. \u201cFinding Harry: The Craft Behind the Magic\u201d charts the making of Season 1, which is currently being filmed at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in the U.K.<\/p>\n\n\tA new trailer for the special shows several artisans and actors working on the set of \u201cHarry Potter\u201d: camera operators capturing Hogwarts students walking through the school and the woods, production designer Mara LePere-Schloop designing a small model and then constructing a large set, McGongall actress Janet McTeer and Snape actor Paapa Essiedu remarking on the feeling of seeing the sets for the first time.<\/p>\n
\n\tJohn Lithgow, who plays Dumbledore, says, \u201cThe \u2018Harry Potter\u2019 stories are this extraordinary phenomenon. To reimagine the \u2018Harry Potter\u2019 canon, to let it breathe \u2014 we get to enact all the things that you know are going on in the wings, but you don\u2019t see them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cTo be able to build at a scale like this, it\u2019s just a designer\u2019s dream. We\u2019re trying to get in the joy and playfulness of what it means to be a magical kid,\u201d says LePere Schloop. Later, she adds, \u201cTo play in a sandbox that\u2019s this big, it\u2019s incredible. We\u2019re adding a level of world-building beyond what the audience is familiar with.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tThe trailer closes with Lithgow growing emotional, saying, \u201cYou wait forever to do something that means that much to people.\u201d<\/p>\n
