The film Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone came out n 1997. Ooof that’s 23 years ago! The world has certainly changed since then (yes, we’re long past actors reaching puberty), and that’s ALL the more reason to take on this franchise with SHOT4SHOT in 2020! If you are unfamiliar, Shot4Shot is “an immersive, nonstop, hilarious ride through your favorite movies. Mostly scripted and partially improvised actors are cast regardless of what the role calls for and presents their own take. Scripts are handed out day of, drinking rules rolled out, and fun is had.” And this time they get to wear floppy hats and use magic wands!
