HBO releases another teaser for Harry Potter, this time with warm colors
John Lithgow's Dumbledore and Paapa Essiedu's Snape also get their first lines of dialogue in the new footage.

When the first teaser for HBO’s Harry Potter series came out back in March, we were among the commentators asking why Hogwarts looked so gray all of a sudden. Sure, it made sense for Harry’s life with the Dursleys to be somewhat muted so that he may burst, Wizard Of Oz style, into a world of color and adventure. But even the scenes at Hogwarts’ Great Hall and on the Quidditch Pitch looked pretty dull. Well, perhaps HBO is listening (except, of course, about the one big thing), because the new Harry Potter teaser is so notably more colorful that it overshadows the fact that John Lithgow’s Dumbledore finally gets some dialog. If you were wondering, he sounds like Lithgow, which is to say, plausibly British enough.
