Take a first look at the new Harry Potter as HBO begins filming series
HBO has officially started production on the highly anticipated Harry Potter TV series adaptation, the network announced July 14, also revealing a first look at the titular character.
The photo released by HBO shows Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, wearing the signature Hogwarts uniform paired with round-rim glasses and a lightning bolt scar, not unlike the iconic costume worn by Daniel Radcliffe in the eight-part film series.
The show began production at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in the U.K., and is expected to debut in 2027.
The new series adaptation begins production nearly 14 years after the final movie adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s books, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, was released in theaters. In addition to the blockbuster movies, the franchise has inspired a Broadway play, video games and theme parks since the first installment was released 28 years ago.
