Teaser Trailer for Harry Potter Themed Web-Series: Auror's Tale


I'm always happy to discover a good web-series created by fans for fans of a particular franchise.  This one is no exception.

Auror's Tale is an upcoming web-series which fits within the wizarding world J.K. Rowling created with her Harry Potter series.  Director Leo Kei Angelos and  screenwriter Cassandra Johnstone, two die-hard Potter fans, have come together to bring the "underground wizarding world of New York City to life".
New York City is a battlefield. Dark magic rules the underworld. The NYC Department of Magical Law Enforcement (DMLE) is the only line of defense. Hawthorne is the force's newest recruit and the dark criminals' latest threat. Plunging into the nightmare that his occupation offers, he makes quick enemies of the most depraved wizard gang in America: the ever violent, ever twisted Hellhounds. AUROR'S TALE chronicles Hawthorne's tempestuous adventures.
Red Phoenix Pictures is proud to present this edgy, action-packed web series that's a bold fantasy that Potter fans will love. It's the wizarding world as imagined by fans that grew up with the series, created for fans that grew up with the series. It's the magic of Potter as you have never seen it before: a high-speed, raw, and terrifically twisted ride.
To be honest, I've seen all the Harry Potter films, but never read the books, so I'm unsure how Auror's Tale will fit in with all the established character...if at all.  The production's description has stated that no existing characters will be used as part of the fan work.

Regardless, this series looks awesome and a lot more action packed than what we're used to seeing from the Potter films.

The first episode is expected to be released sometime this summer, so if you want to keep up with the series, you can check out their site here and follow them on Facebook or Twitter.  And be sure to subscribe to their YouTube channel where all future episodes will appear.

So what do you think of the teaser?  Will you be watching?  Let me know what you think in the comments below.
