Fans of Harry Potter and its film series have got all the trivia related to the franchise at the tip of their tongue. The super successful film franchise is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of its first film this year. ‘Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone’ released in theatres on 16th November, 2001. We in India got to see the film a few months later owing to its delayed release here.
Warner Bros., producers of the film, have planned a number of events and featured content in celebration of the milestone. The content will stream on WarnerMedia’s HBO Max. However, Warner has licensed the content to other streaming services too. One such event is the ‘Harry Potter: Hogwarts Tournament of Houses’, an exciting quiz event, based on Harry Potter trivia.
Luckily for Indian viewers, Prime Video today announced that it will broadcast Harry Potter: Hogwarts Tournament of Houses in India. Fans can watch the four-part special event, hosted by Academy Award®-winning actress Helen Mirren, on the streaming service starting 29th November.
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Tournament of Houses will have fans representing each of the four Hogwarts houses going head-to-head and showcase ultimate fan glory on a never-before-seen scale. Each one-hour episode will see two houses face-off with 29th November featuring Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff, 6th December featuring Ravenclaw vs Slytherin and a special wild-card round on 13th December featuring the two losing houses. The Grand Finale will stream on 20th December, which will see the winning team battle for the ultimate honor to be named House Cup champion.
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.
