Harry Potter fans are being urged to watch Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone at 10:33pm on Christmas Eve.
Why? Well, keep reading squire.
Harry Potter is one of the most beloved film franchises to watch over the festive season.
There's good reason why - there's nothing quite like nostalgia to get you feeling cosy over Christmas.
Fans have long hoped for more from the franchise, but it seems unlikely that they will get the original cast back together.
Speaking about the possibility of reprising his role as Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe said back in 2022 that it's "not something he is really interested in doing right now".
He did, however, add: "Never say never."
For those looking for a fresh Potter fix, though, they can look to the TV adaptation which is currently in the works.
Earlier this year, Warner Bros. confirmed that McLaughlin will play Harry, alongside Arabella Stanton as Hermione, and Alastair Stout as Ron.
The trio join the already cast John Lithgow, Janet McTeer, Paapa Essiedu, Nick Frost, Luke Thallon and Paul Whitehouse, who will play Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape, Hagrid, Quirrell and Filch respectively.
But anyway, back to the focal point of this story.
Thousands of Harry Potter fans have urged people to start watching Philosopher's Stone at exactly 22:33 on Xmas Eve.
If you do, Ron will say "Happy Christmas Harry" bang on Christmas Day at 00:00 hours.
Can you think of a better way to start the big day?
