Fans of fantasy and science fiction films have a date at the Palau Firal i de Congresos in Tarragona on March 21 and 22, 2026. There will be cosplayers Characters dressed as figures from galactic sagas and other fantasy series and films will stroll through the venue and take photos with attendees. There will also be sets recreating scenes from movies to transform the event into a truly immersive and impactful experience.

One of the most anticipated series of the coming years is the adaptation that HBO Max is preparing of Harry Potter, which will bring back, fourteen years later, the characters from J.K. Rowling's book saga. To make the new series, which will premiere in 2027, a reality, new actors had to be found to play beloved characters such as Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley. This Tuesday, the platform announced the start of filming for the series and showed a first image of the wizard with the lightning bolt scar on his forehead.

The walkers and runners Those who get up early on Sunday to exercise on the banks of the Besòs River are surprised when they see, near the Badalona neighborhood of Artigues, a group of boys and girls running up and down with a PVC stick between their legs and various types of balls in their hands that they throw at their friends, and try to act like a circus, strategically arranged on the grass that exists between the water and the bike path. "Some ask us what we play, others indiscreetly film us and some cyclists who call us 'Harry Potter!'" laughs Brais Costoya, one of the regulars at the Sunday sessions of the Catalan quadball team, a discipline that was born in 2005 from sport and the inspiration of quiddit. It has been practiced in Barcelona for years.

One of the major projects of the Max platform for the coming years is the serial version of Harry Potter, a great literary and cinematic phenomenon. For months, the production has been holding castings to find actors who will take on characters such as the wizard Harry Potter, his companions Hermione and Ron Weasley, or Harry's mentor, Albus Dumbledore. For this role, it has already been revealed who the chosen interpreter is: the American John Lithgow.
