​Gearing up for the greatest fan competition in Wizarding World history, TBS and Cartoon Network released today the official trailer and new details for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Tournament of Houses. Premiering Sunday, Nov. 28 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT, the four-part special event, hosted by Academy Award®-winning actress Helen Mirren, will feature celebrity fans and Harry Potter film alumni as it showcases Wizarding World fandom on a never-before-seen scale.

Revealed in the trailer, Harry Potter cast members Tom Felton, Simon Fisher-Becker, Shirley Henderson, Luke Youngblood, and more will make special cameos alongside super fans Pete Davidson, and Jay Leno.


The bracket-style competition will feature fans competing for their Hogwarts house in teams of three. Houses go head to head in four epic battles answering hundreds of Wizarding World trivia questions with help from the live audience to unveil which house knows the intricately detailed universe like the back of their hand. Winning teams of each round will advance to the grand finale to determine who will take home the Tournament of Houses championship trophy.


Along with the spectacular trophy and ultimate bragging rights, the winning house will be awarded with a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Wizarding World locations across the East Coast.* All travel accommodations will be provided for. This includes:

• A $1000 shopping spree at the Harry Potter New York store
• Tickets to the award-winning Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
• A trip to the brand-new touring experience, Harry Potter: The Exhibition
• A three-day, three-night trip to experience The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort.
• An advanced screening of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore

Did we like it?

We were able to screen the first episode: Sunday, Nov. 28 – “Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff”
Helen Mirren hosts the first episode of this epic TV event series. Over four episodes, the Houses of Hogwarts will battle to see which team knows the most about the Wizarding World, featuring more Harry Potter magic than you could find on a day trip to Diagon Alley. Tonight’s match-up sees the brave Gryffindors face the loyal Hufflepuffs for a guaranteed place in the grand finale. Guest stars include: Pete Davidson, Simon Fisher-Becker, Matthew Lewis, and Luke Youngblood.

It was so much fun, the questions are great and really test your knowledge of Harry Potter, not only the movies, but also the books. I won't give you any spoilers, but I do recommend watching the show and having fun competing with your family and friends to see who knows the most about Harry Potter. In my house, my son seems to be the expert, he only missed two questions.

Celebrate with Harry Potter swag

The nice people at Warner Bros sent me some products to celebrate the premiere of the show and the 20th anniversary of the first movie.

I thought I will leave here some of our favorite products that you can order to have a watching party and friendly competition with your family or friends while watching the show.
