On Wednesday (March 25), HBO Max dropped the first teaser for Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, featuring an all-new cast: Dominic McLaughlin as Harry, Arabella Stanton as Hermione, and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley, along with Albus Dumbledore (John Lithgow), Severus Snape (Paapa Essiedu), and Minerva McGonagall (Janet McTeer). Soon after the makers pulled back the curtain on the new show, Harry Potter fans were quick to watch and share their thoughts on it, and to see where their excitement stands now. Harry Potter: How fans are reacting to the teaser Since the announcement, the reboot has garnered a wave of reactions. Some fans are excited to see how HBO will bring the world of Harry Potter to life, staying closer to the books and covering key details that were missed in the films. Meanwhile, another section of fans has been against the reboot, saying they were happy with the movies and don’t want anything new, fearing it might ruin their memories.

Nevertheless, expectations remained high. Now that the teaser is out and fans have seen the new actors portraying their favourite characters, reactions have been as expected. While one section of fans is excited and emotional, feeling their childhood memories coming back to life, another section has strongly criticised the teaser. A wave of reactions has emerged, with people commenting on the characters, casting, and more.

Me sochta hu ke idhar Dadar Parsi colony me aayenge unka delegation, Trump saab aayenge toh sabse best hoga (So, I’m ready—we can do anything for peace. I just have one condition: I’m not going all the way to Washington. I think it would be better if their delegation comes here, to Dadar Parsi Colony. If Mr. Trump comes, that would be the best)." The actor then said "Khana wana khilayenge, Dhansak khilayenge, Custard khilayenge. Aur ek gas ka cylinder leke aayenge toh, it will make my life very very smooth for all of us (We’ll treat him to food—serve Dhansak and serve custard. And if he brings along a gas cylinder, it will make my life very, very smooth—for all of us)." Watch the hilarious video here:

<p>Abhishek Bachchan was the keynote speaker at the recently concluded Critics’ Choice Awards (CCA) 2026. The actor, who has been an actor in Hindi film industry for over two decades, acknowledged the significant role of film critics in shaping his career and how his relationship with them has evolved with time.</p><h2>Abhishek Bachchan on his perspective on criticism</h2><p>In his keynote speech, Abhishek said that the term criticism is often misunderstood. "I think we often misunderstand criticism. We tend to see it as something negative, but it shouldn't be. I work in a commercial art form, and if I expect people to spend their time and money on my films, then I am answerable to them. I am open to scrutiny, to judgment, and to criticism."</p>

<p>He spoke about how, with the passage of time, he realised that critics aren't his opponents. "Early in my career, I didn't always feel this way. Like most actors, I believed everything would work out perfectly. But when reality hits, it hits hard. I went through phases of denial, where I felt critics didn't understand my work or weren't qualified to judge it," he added.</p><h2>‘Critics are not my opponents’</h2><p>Abhishek stated that his relationship with critics has evolved with time. “Over time, I realised I was looking at it the wrong way. I began to see that critics are not my opponents. They know the way. If I believe I know how to drive, then why not listen, learn, and improve? Their feedback helped me build my journey as an actor. Only a fool would ignore that.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/critics-choice-awards-2026-vishal-jethwa-jaideep-ahlawat-win-top-honours-full-winners-list-inside-1774407136298">Critics’ Choice Awards 2026: Vishal Jethwa, Jaideep Ahlawat win top honours - Full winners list inside</a></p><h2>About Abhishek Bachchan’s career</h2><p>Son of veteran Indian actors Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek made his debut in 2000 with Refugee.

US Supreme Court has given its decision in favour of internet provide in the case against the copyright infringement by the major music labels such as Sony Music, Warner Bros Music and others. 

On Wednesday, the US Supreme Court gave a landmark decision as it ruled that major internet service providers are not liable for copyright infringement. Ending the billion-dollar-plus music copyright lawsuit, the apex court ruled in favor of Cox Communications, saying the company cannot be held liable for piracy done by its users over the songs that are owned by major music labels such as Sony Music, Warner Music ‌Group and Universal Music Group among others. This has been seen as a significant setback for the music industry in the case where major record labels has hold internet providers accountable for not cutting off users that have been repeatedly downloading music illegally. These are the music industries that hold rights of America's known music singer and songwriters, including Beyonce, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé among others. Conservative Justice Clarence Thomas in his ruling said that Cox was not liable for the widespread copyright violations. "Cox provided internet service to its subscribers, but it did not intend for that service to be used to commit copyright infringement," Thomas wrote. "Holding Cox liable merely for failing to terminate internet service to infringing accounts would expand secondary copyright liability beyond our precedents,'' he said. The lawsuit was filed in 2018 against Cox communication by more than 50 labels. In the filing, the music labesl accused Cox saying that the company failed to cut off the internet connections of the users who were repeatedly involved in illegally downloading the copyrighted music.
