Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone celebrates its 20th anniversary this week. The film was first released on Nov 16, 2001.

In celebration of such an important milestone in the film industry, HBO Go and Cartoon Network are bringing back the magic of the Wizarding World to fans in Thailand.

For the first time, the first four of the Harry Potter eight-movie series will air on Cartoon Network (accessed via 3BB GIGA TV Channel 301, AIS Play Channel 402 and TrueVision Channel 453) every other weekend.

Although the first in the series was already screened last week, fans still have a chance to catch up with the rest. Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets, Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban and Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire will air on Nov 27, Dec 11 and Dec 25, respectively.
