Calling all Potterheads! There is some buzz circulating on the Internet claiming that something big may be happening in the Harry Potter world.
London's Warner Bros. Studio Tour recently posted a photo on its Facebook page noting that "new secrets will be revealed" in The Making of Harry Potter. They will announce the news on January 26th.
Naturally, this got Harry Potter fans excited, and Facebook users questioned whether it referred to rumored additions to the films or park expansion. Whatever it is, it has Muggles sitting on the edge of their seats.
Pottermore also dropped a hint yesterday on its Facebook page with the word "Engorgio!" front and center in the photo. The photo has a lit wand hovering over the Warner Bros.
Studio Tour logo. The text accompanying the photo reads: "Well, well, well...how curious...how very curious." Why are they teasing us?
For all Harry Potter nerds, the term "Engorgio" is a charm which wizards use to make something bigger. It is definitely safe to assume that there may be a play on words here.
Perhaps some sort of expansion? According to an article on CinemaBlend.com, London's Warner Bros.
Studios is the base for all eight Harry Potter films and will also be the base for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Will we be seeing attractions from the future film?
"With so little to go in about the January 26 Studio Tour announcement, it's probably a leap to try to connect Fantastic Beasts directly with whatever's planned for the studio tour in terms of what might be featured, especially considering the film hasn't even begun production yet [it's expected to start this Summer]," said Kelly West, writer for CinemaBlend.
"In fact, assuming it is an expansion, I'm inclined to believe that the announcement will reveal something related to the previously released Harry Potter films, which would explain 'new secrets will be revealed!'"
These next few days will be tough for all witches, wizards, and Muggles alike as they wait for London's Warner Bros. Studio to reveal their "secrets." Let's hope it doesn't involve a chamber and a blood-thirsty serpent.
We don't need to go through that again.
