Harry Potter TV series reveals first look — but can you spot the Gryffindor school uniform twist?!
It has been announced today, Monday, July 14, that production is now underway on the HBO Original Harry Potter TV series at the Warner Bros. Studios in the UK.
A first look image of the series, which is set to hit our screens in 2027, has also been shared, with newcomer Dominic McLaughlin dressed in his Gryffindor robes as Harry Potter.
But eagle-eyed fans of the franchise will notice that the famous Hogwarts uniform has had a slight makeover for the TV series, probably in a bid to separate it from the world-famous movie franchise also based on JK Rowling's bestselling novels.
Both the tie and jumper look different from the ones Daniel Radcliffe wore as Harry in the movies, and while the traditional Gryffindor colours remain the same, the designs of the uniform are definitely different.
The red and yellow piping around the V-neck of the jumper is new, and the lines on the tie vary from the movies, all giving the TV show costumes a fresh new feel.
It was announced earlier this year that newcomers Arabella Stanton and Alastair Stout would be playing Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley.
Along with Dominic McLaughlin as Harry, the trio will be taking on the roles played by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, who were all propelled to stardom when they appeared in the movies.
New cast members were also announced today, with Rory Wilmot starring as Neville Longbottom, Amos Kitson taking on the role of Dudley Dursley, Louise Brealey playing Madam Rolanda Hooch, and Anton Lesser joining the cast as Garrick Ollivander.
One other exciting thing we already know about the series is that we can expect 10 seasons of the show, meaning the seasons may not be divided along the lines of J.K. Rowling's novels.
The Harry Potter TV series will debut in 2027 on HBO and HBO Max where it's available, including in upcoming launch markets Germany, Italy, and the UK.

Legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne has died at the age of 76, just weeks after performing his final show in front of a sold-out crowd in Birmingham, England. The Black Sabbath frontman passed away on Tuesday, July 22, after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. His death comes shortly after he reunited with his original bandmates, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward, for his Back To The Beginning farewell concert — marking the first time they had played together in years. Ozzy's wife, Sharon Osbourne, spoke ahead of the show about his determination to perform despite his declining health. 'Ozzy's working with his therapist every single day. He's doing really well, actually,' she reportedly said at the time. 'Ozzy's number one thing in life is his fans, so he's working hard to be ready for them, to make this show the perfect way to end things.' In the weeks leading up to his passing, Ozzy underwent intense physical therapy and training to prepare for the show, driven by his desire to give fans a proper goodbye. One day before his death, the singer posted a haunting image on Instagram — a photo of a laminated poster promoting his final performance. The post now stands as an eerie farewell to a career that spanned decades. According to the The Sun, the last known photo of Ozzy shows the icon on stage during his farewell show. Seated on a throne and dressed in all black, Ozzy soaked in the applause from his fans in a photo captured by renowned rock photographer . Visibly emotional, he told the crowd that night, 'You have no idea how I feel.' Following the announcement of his death, the Osbourne family released a statement. 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family's privacy at this time." Since news of his passing broke, heartfelt tributes have poured in from friends, fans and fellow rock legends — including Yungblud, Elton John, Billie Joe Armstrong and his children Jack and Kelly.
