HBO's new adaptation of the Harry Potter series begins production, revealing a first image of lead actor in costume.
The adaptation, which aims to stretch over a decade, will showcase a fresh perspective on the well-known story.

In addition to McLaughlin, the cast now includes Rory Wilmot as Neville Longbottom, Amos Kitson as Dudley Dursley, Louise Brealey as Madam Rolanda Hooch, and Anton Lesser as Garrick Ollivander. Recognized talents such as John Lithgow (Dumbledore), Nick Frost (Hagrid), Janet McTeer (Minerva McGonagall), and Paapa Essiedu (Severus Snape) will also bring depth to the series.
Preparations are underway at Warner Bros Studios Leavesden, the same location that served as the backdrop for the original Harry Potter films. The first series is slated for release in 2027, with industry veterans like Adriano Goldman and Cate Hall joining the team to elevate the production quality.
As excitement builds, the community eagerly anticipates the magical journey that awaits as more details emerge about the rebirth of Harry Potter on the small screen.
