Sunday, Friday or Binge? Sorting the Leak

Does a leaked calendar that puts the HBO Harry Potter premiere on Christmas Day, then Sundays through a February 14 finale, hold up? HBO hasn't confirmed it, and other outlets say all eight episodes arrive on December 25. David and Becca separate what is confirmed from what is leaked or guesswork. The confirmed list is eight episodes, the Philosopher's Stone title and a Christmas 2026 debut on HBO and HBO Max. They also look at an unverified runtime rumor and at why a grid of dates can look more trustworthy than it is. Then they try fitting the Philosopher's Stone book onto eight episodes, using a fan map as speculation rather than fact. The original films stay in the background while the hosts argue over where episode two should end. Stay for the verdicts: David leans binge, Becca leans Sunday weekly, and each admits the weak spot in their own pick.
