Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was the first installment in the franchise series, and Chris Columbus directed it. Based on J.K. Rowling’s 1997 novel, the film introduces Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley in their first year of school at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The film starred Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Richard Harris, Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman, and Robbie Coltrane, among many others.
Warner Bros. Discovery has announced that tickets for the upcoming screenings will go live on July 31, 2026. The global celebration also builds anticipation for HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter television adaptation, which is slated to premiere this Christmas.
