Television Series[]
On March 28, 2005, the books were adapted into a 104-episode animated television series of the same name, which lasted until August 8, 2005. The show is also broadcast in Asia, Australia, Latin America, and several European countries.
In the TV series Harry plays with the dinosaurs by jumping into the bucket, which transports him to another world, called Dino World. Although the dinosaurs are toy-sized in the real world, within Dino World they become dinosaur-sized, while Harry retains his actual size.
