A roster of celebrities have signed up to read chapters of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the first of J.K. Rowling's beloved fantasy book series, as part of the next phase of the Harry Potter At Home initiative. In a tweet on Tuesday, the Wizarding World team announced that Daniel Radcliffe, Stephen Fry, David Beckham, Dakota Fanning, Claudia Kim, Noma Dumezweni, and Eddie Redmayne would be amongst the cast of narrators to appear in the first batch of special video and audio recordings.

Surprise! We've got a treat for you…From today, amazing friends of the Wizarding World are going to take turns reading Harry Potter book one.

And to start us off with Chapter 1, we think you’ll agree we have the perfect narrator... #HarryPotterAtHome https://t.co/w9K77akbou pic.twitter.com/Q03PmjeD5d — Wizarding World (@wizardingworld) May 5, 2020

As the figurehead of the Harry Potter movies for so many years, Radcliffe launched the project by reading the first chapter, "The Boy Who Lived," in which he introduced the Dursleys (who don't like anything mysterious) to muggles around the world this week. All 17 chapters of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone will be read by different narrators between now and the middle of summer. Videos will be posted weekly on the Harry Potter At Home hub, with audio versions available to stream on Spotify. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/11/24/best-25-harry-potter-characters"] The new reading programme forms part of Harry Potter At Home, an online space designed to help children, parents, carers and teachers add a touch of magic to their daily lives during "the strange times we now find ourselves in" due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The free initiative, launched in April, provides resources and activities cumulated by the Wizarding World team in collaboration with their partners at Audible, Bloomsbury, OverDrive, Pottermore Publishing and Scholastic in a bid to cast a Banishing Charm on boredom.

Cyberpunk 2077 looks to be getting an E3-esque news broadcast on June 11, titled Night City Wire. Announced on Twitter with a simple caption - "GET READY!" - and a logo, we don't know about the contents of the broadcast at time of writing.

Given the timing, it would seem likely that this is a replacement for CD Projekt Red's usual presentations at the now-canceled E3. The past two years have seen shorter public announcements - with bonus Keanu Reeves - and lengthy behind-closed-doors gameplay showings that have been revealed later in the year. With Cyberpunk 2077 increasingly close to its September 17 release date, it feels likely that we'd see more gameplay, and perhaps a breakdown of its still somewhat mysterious storyline. It's also possible that we'd learn about the game's DLC plans, with CD Projekt Red recently suggesting that it will reveal expansions before release. One thing we can expect is some fairly... adult content. A recent ratings board report explained quite how much sex, violence, drugs and gore will be in the game. Turns out: loads.

Netflix has released the first trailer for Space Force, the new comedy starring and co-created by Steve Carell, along with The Office creator Greg Daniels. The trailer features Carell as General Mark R. Naird, who’s put in charge of the USA’s new Space Force military branch. It’s a concept inspired by the formation of the United States Space Force, set up in 2019 by President Trump.

Wait, who's in charge of what now? Steve Carell, welcome to Space Force. May 29th. pic.twitter.com/XVNivZ3Uay

The trailer features Carell coming to terms with this seemingly impossible and outrageously expensive new mission, alongside a star-studded cast that includes John Malkovich (Places in the Heart, In the Line of Fire), Diana Silvers (Booksmart), Tawny Newsome (Bajillion Dollar Properties), Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation), and Lisa Kudrow (Friends). [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=space-force-12-first-look-photos&captions=true"] Space Force will debut its first season on Netflix on May 29. Carell’s role on Space Force - which includes executive producer and co-creator, alongside star - will reportedly command a new salary record, likely in excess of $1million per episode.

David Harbour has teased that there will be a huge reveal regarding Jim Hopper's backstory in Stranger Things Season 4. IndieWire reports that Harbour participated in a live Q&A with the audience at Liverpool Comic-Con in March, where he spilt the (coffee) beans on the new season, as he revealed that one storyline would be digging deeper into Hopper's character, who is very much alive. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/07/04/stranger-things-season-3-post-credits-scene-explained"] In a video clip from the event, Harbour refers back to a Season 2 episode, where Eleven discovers an assortment of boxes stowed away in Hopper's cabin, as a mystery that will finally receive a payoff this season. Harbour explains, "there are five boxes, one of which has Brenner's stuff from Hawkins Lab, one of which says 'Dad,' and one of which says 'Vietnam,' and one says 'New York.' So, there are these three things that we've established in the season that if we don't pay off, it means that [the Duffer brothers are] bad writers. And the Duffer brothers are very good writers. So I know specifically that in Season 4 we will give you a big, huge reveal about Hopper's backstory." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/07/06/what-will-happen-in-stranger-things-season-4"] "I'm so excited about revealing this aspect of the character," Harbour added. "It's one of the things that I've known since the first frame of the first shot, and we haven't expressed it yet. And finally, we're gonna express it in a big way. It's my favourite thing about him that you guys don't know about him yet, but it has to do with these backstories of New York, Vietnam, and Dad. And I'm really excited for you guys to know more about that, and it relates, of course, to what he's doing with Eleven and Joyce and things like that." Unfortunately, we might have some time to wait until we can set sail on that particular curiosity voyage, as Harbour said that fans will get to see the "big reveal" whenever the next season comes out, joking that it might be in "2050," as production on Stranger Things 4 is currently on hiatus amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] Warner Bros. TV is not the only studio to have put a halt on production, as a number of NBC, Amazon, FX, and Apple TV+ series' have been forced to take a break from filming in an effort to slow the spread of the virus.

The teaser doesn't give much away, although we hear Ellie say, "I have to finish it". What sounds like Joel replies, "There's a cost." The game officially went gold yesterday, with director Neil Druckmann addressing the game's recent story leak: "No matter what you've seen or heard or read, nothing compares to playing this game from beginning to end. It's a video game, you've got to play it."
