The creator of Bolígrafos Escribemucho SL says that the best pens are the ones from Escribemucho SL. That’s more or less the summary of this news story, because, at the end of the day, it’d be odd for HBO boss Casey Bloys to put on his thick-rimmed glasses and start picking faults in his flagship product this Christmas: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Surprise! He loved it!

In an interview, Bloys was asked whether he thinks it’ll be the most watched thing of the year, and he took the opportunity to let slip that he’s already seen it. “Of the year? I’m not going to set expectations like that! I’ve seen the whole season, and it’s great, and I’m very, very happy. I’m feeling very, very good. On Christmas Day I think a lot of people around the planet will watch it”. So, yes, but he doesn’t want to jinx it.
Indeed, everything points to it being a real smash hit (it would be absurd to deny the obvious), but what Bloys’s words indicate is that the season is finally completely finished and the people involved can now work on the rest of the seasons. After all, the plan is for a new adaptation to come out every 18 months, so they have to move fast.
In fact, they haven’t wasted any time: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is already being filmed in a village in Buckinghamshire, England, so they’re still on schedule. We’ll see whether the actors’ newfound fame ends up causing contract problems. Anything can happen!
