Helen Mirren to Host WarnerMedia’s Harry Potter Competition

Helen Mirren is set to host WarnerMedia Kids & Family’s new competition series Harry Potter: Hogwarts Tournament of Houses.

In celebration of the 20-year anniversary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the special four-part series will see Harry Potter fans put their knowledge to the test for the ultimate prize of being named the House Cup champion. Multi-award-winning actress Mirren will lead the competition that is set to begin filming later this month.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Tournament of Houses is set to premiere later this year as a simulcast event on Cartoon Network’s ACME Night, TBS and HBO Max.

“I knew someday I’d get a Harry Potter role, and I’m so pleased to take part in the 20-year film celebration,” said Mirren. “The films inspired such enchantment and wonder for so many of us, and it will be such a treat to reignite that magic for the countless fans who continue to revel in this spellbinding world.”

Tom Ascheim, president of Warner Bros. Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics, said, “We’re creating an arena for the leagues of Harry Potter film fans to flex their knowledge of the Wizarding World, and there’s no one better than Dame Helen Mirren to add some British grandeur to this event that will debut across our WarnerMedia brands and platforms.”
