“The Casual Vacancy” featured in new BBC drama trailer!

by Sophie Reid · January 5, 2015

At the beginning of the year, we wrote about our top five Potter things to look forward to in 2015. Among the many, many exciting things that are happening this year that are Potter– and J.K. Rowling-related is the TV serialization of J.K. Rowling’s first adult novel, The Casual Vacancy.

Toward the end of 2014, we were treated to many brief clips from the series, as well as the release of the first official image. In a new drama trailer for 2015, The Casual Vacancy is featured once again. The drama also features Potter alumni Sir Michael Gambon (Albus Dumbledore) and Simon McBurney (voice of Kreacher). Check out the trailer below:

The Casual Vacancy will air on BBC in the UK and HBO in the US. Exact air dates have not yet been released, but hopefully, we’ll learn them soon.

Are you looking forward to watching The Casual Vacancy? Let us know!

2004

It’s high time I paid homage to the mighty MuggleNet. Where to start? I love the design, (I currently favour the ‘Dementor’ layout), the polls (I actually voted in the ‘Who’s the Half-Blood Prince?’ one), the pretty-much-exhaustive information on all books and films, the wonderful editorials (more insight there than in several companion volumes I shall not name), 101 Ways to Annoy Lord Voldemort (made me laugh aloud), the Wall of Shame (nearly as funny as some of the stuff I get)… pretty much everything. Webmaster Emerson, Eric, Jamie, Damon, Ben, Matthew, Rachel, Jaymz and Sharon, I salute you.
