‘Harry Potter’ going HDTV
ABC hopes to make ratings magic with a night of television built around the network debut of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” -- and a sneak peek at the third Warner Bros. film in the franchise.
The 2001 movie, starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, will air on May 9 in an extended, high-definition version that includes previously unseen footage, the network said.
It will be followed by a 10-minute look at “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” directed by Alfonso Cuaron, which opens in theaters on June 4.
