Harry Potter is set to appear on TV screens sooner than expected.

The highly anticipated TV series is set to take its fans on a journey behind the action.

Ahead of the Christmas debut, the streamer is set to release a standalone special, Finding Harry: The Craft Behind the Magic.

"Told through the lens of the artists, craftspeople, and technicians bringing J.K. Rowling’s beloved books to life for a new generation," it will offer "an in-depth look at the making of the first season," a press release states.

Narrated by Nick Frost, who plays Rubeus Hagrid in the show, the exclusive will also feature interviews with key cast members, including John Lithgow, Janet McTeer, and Paapa Essiedu, who star as Albus Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape, respectively.

Each season of the series will be based on one of the seven Rowling's books, with first season covering the events of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

The leading trio stars Dominic McLaughlin, Alastair Stout, and Arabella Stanton, as Harry, Ron and Hermione.

Finding Harry: The Craft Behind the Magic will stream April 5 on HBO Max.
