Take a first look at the new 'Harry Potter' as HBO begins filming series, picture goes viral
HBO has officially started production on the highly anticipated 'Harry Potter' TV series adaption, the network announced Monday, also revealing a first look at the titular character.
The photo released by HBO shows Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, donning 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.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
A new round of actors were announced Monday, including Rory Wilmot as Neville Longbottom, Amos Kitson as Dudley Dursley, Louise Brealey as Madam Rolanda Hooch and Anton Lesser as Garrick Ollivander. The network announced in late May that McLaughlin was cast as Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley. Several high-profile actors have been announced in other key roles, including Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore and Katherine Parkinson as Molly Weasley.
The new series adaption begins production nearly 14 years after the final movie adaption 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.
The new series will be 'a faithful adaptation of the beloved Harry Potter books,' the network previously wrote, and 'will feature an exciting and talented cast to lead a new generation of fandom, full of the fantastic detail and much-loved characters Harry Potter fans have adored for over 25 years.'

Josh Allen prioritizes Super Bowl push, not 'Hard Knocks' fame as Buffalo Bills head into training camp cameras
Josh Allen (via Getty Images) Josh Allen, quarterback of the Buffalo Bills, is approaching the 2025 NFL season with a well-defined purpose—win a Super Bowl—and he has no intention of allowing HBO's "Hard Knocks" to get in the way. With the league dropping its policy of exempting playoff teams from the reality docuseries, the Buffalo Bills are now in the spotlight, including in this season's "Hard Knocks: Training Camp. " It's the first time for the franchise, but Allen believes the pressure has to be on football and not the movie crew. Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen wants team focused despite 'Hard Knocks' cameras Josh Allen understands how quickly distractions can seep into training camp, particularly when a production crew from HBO and NFL Films is taping every step. Discussing in a recent interview, Allen emphasized that although increased visibility will be thrilling for supporters, it can't be a distraction for the Buffalo Bills. "First and foremost, cannot let it become a distraction," Allen said. "Got to keep the main thing the main thing, and that's trying to be the best we can be on the field. Making sure we're doing everything right, and not letting the cameras distract us. I think that's going to be a sign of a good team." Bills Josh Allen "surprised" by Hard Knocks announcement on his birthday Josh Allen credits coach Sean McDermott for a genuine locker room atmosphere The quarterback credited head coach Sean McDermott with creating a locker room environment that values genuineness— something that Allen feels will translate on television without detracting from football. "For the longest time, 'Hard Knocks' was usually reserved for, I wouldn't say bad teams, but teams that didn't make the playoffs the year before," Allen said. "I know they lifted that rule, and we're kind of the first team that's coming from the playoffs to be on it, in terms of the training camp portion of it. So, yeah, it's going to be a little different, but we got a lot of veteran leadership in the locker room and a lot of young guys who we're going to have to take on our shoulders and be like, 'Hey, this is how we're doing it. ' Again, you want to be a star and the face of this and that and the other? Let your play take care of it. Still be yourself and let your personality out. I think Coach [Sean] McDermott has been doing a great job ever since I was rookie of making sure, whoever you are, be that person all the time, right? Being as authentic as possible is one of the greatest qualities that you can have, and this is no different." This season's slate is historic for more than Buffalo alone. It is the first time since the debut of the show in 2001 that a recent postseason contender—not a rebuilding team—is getting all the attention. The quarterback emphasized the value of mental clarity, particularly as the season picks up. Whether it's game day or a study of film, Allen feels that improved sleep may provide him with an edge in competition in 2025.

If the team can block out the cameras and concentrate on football, 2025 might be the year the Buffalo Bills break through. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
