Forget Hogwarts – Harry Potter studio has on-set school for child actors
The child stars of the new Harry Potter series will have a real school built for them while they are posing as Hogwarts students. Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton and Alastair Stout – HBO's Harry, Hermonie and Ron – will be among hundreds of young people from the show to attend a newly built school while they are filming. The specially built facility will be based at Warner Bros studios in Watford, Hertfordshire, where the cast is making the new series. It marks a different approach to that taken by the former child stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, who dipped in and out of mainstream schools and various tutors while they played the same parts more than 20 years ago. The temporary facility will mean that the show's young actors can keep up with their studies while in production. The new series, scheduled for release on HBO and HBO Max in 2027, will be created over the course of a decade, with each instalment based on one of JK Rowling 's seven novels. The company's Leavesden studio has been told by Three Rivers District Council that the proposed classrooms, in portable buildings, will be able to be used by up to 600 pupils during peak periods, according to reports in the BBC. These will likely be during crowd scenes, where hundreds of young people will need to double as Hogwarts students. It will operate on weekdays between 5.30am and 8.30pm, meaning that learning can take place around the young actors' hectic production schedules. The school's planning documents do not specifically mention Harry Potter, but cite a 'significant new TV series which will base itself at the studio for the next 8-10 years'. HBO announced on Monday that filming had begun, marking the moment with a new picture of McLaughlin as the titular character. The young actor looked every part the Hogwarts student as he smiled for the camera in Potter's famous glasses and uniform. HBO has previously said that more than 30,000 children auditioned for the three coveted lead roles following an open casting call. Stanton, who will play Hermoine Granger, previously starred in the titular role of Matilda: The Musical in the West End from 2023 to 2024, while McLaughlin acted in the forthcoming Sky comedy, Grow. Meanwhile, the Harry Potter series marks Stout's breakout role as Ron Weasley. Each season of the new show will be a faithful adaptation of the books by Rowling, who is also serving as an executive producer of the series. Other stars who have previously been announced include award-winning US actor John Lithgow as Hogwarts headmaster Professor Albus Dumbledore, Welsh comedian and actor Paul Whitehouse as Hogwarts caretaker Argus Filch, and Rivals actress Katherine Parkinson as Molly Weasley.

Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter on the set of Harry Potter (2027) Fans of the popular series by J. K. Rowling have been rejoicing at the first look at Dominic McLaughlin's ( Grow ) Harry Potter, dressed in his Hogwarts robes with his signature messy black hair and round glasses slightly askew.

Along the way, he befriends Weasley and Granger, and together they aid him in his journey to defeat the infamous Dark Wizard, Lord Voldemort. Each of the seven Harry Potter books will constitute an entire season. According to Variety, shooting for Season 1 is expected to continue until the spring of 2026, with Season 2 going into production after a brief hiatus. The series is expected to debut in 2027 on HBO Max. But until then? Mischief managed. Conversation with Ting Wei is like chatting with a weird AI bot programmed only with One Piece lore and theories, sitcom quotes and other miscellaneous pop culture references. When he's not sleeping, he's highly likely reading manga. In fact, the only thing he reads more than manga is the Bible, and it's honestly pretty close.

First Image From HBO's 'Harry Potter' Series Teases Return to Hogwarts
First Image From HBO's 'Harry Potter' Series Teases Return to Hogwarts originally appeared on Parade. HBO has unveiled the first official image from its highly anticipated Harry Potter television series. Production on the new HBO Original series is now underway at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in the U.K., the same studio that housed much of the original film franchise. The series is set to debut in 2027 on HBO and HBO Max. The newly released image doesn't give away much in terms of plot, but it does show a glowing Hogwarts crest and the iconic castle silhouetted behind a golden haze. For longtime fans, it's a magical signal that the reboot is very real and very much happening. The lead roles of Harry, Ron, and Hermione will be played by Dominic McLaughlin, Alastair Stout, and Arabella Stanton, respectively. The latest round of casting includes Rory Wilmot as Neville Longbottom, Amos Kitson as Dudley Dursley, Louise Brealey as Madam Hooch, and Anton Lesser as wandmaker Garrick Ollivander. The series has also assembled an impressive creative team. Succession alum Francesca Gardiner serves as writer and executive producer, while Game of Thrones and The Menu director Mark Mylod is on board to executive produce and helm multiple episodes. Also joining the production are Oscar-winning cinematographer Adriano Goldman, creature effects designer John Nolan (Westworld), and Emmy-winning costume designer Holly Waddington (Poor Things). The series will be produced by HBO in association with Brontë Film and TV, and Warner Bros. Television. J.K. Rowling, Neil Blair, and Ruth Kenley-Letts will executive produce on behalf of Brontë, with longtime Harry Potter producer David Heyman also returning via Heyday Films.

Harry Potter TV series reveals first look — but can you spot the Gryffindor school uniform twist?!
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. 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.
