Harry Potter HBO Released First Image and Production! What to Expect?

Liputan6.com, Jakarta Fans of the wizarding world of Harry Potter, get ready! The highly anticipated "Harry Potter" television series is in production by HBO and Warner Bros. Television.

The series promises to be a faithful adaptation of J.K. Rowling's books, bringing the story of the iconic young wizard back to the screen.

Production on the series began in July 2025 at Leavesden Studios in England, a location familiar to Harry Potter fans.

With support from Brontë Film & TV and Heyday Films, the series is expected to deliver high-quality production and stunning visuals.

When can we expect to see the adventures of Harry, Hermione, and Ron on the screen?

The "Harry Potter" series is scheduled to premiere on HBO and HBO Max in early 2027.

Mark your calendars!

One of the most anticipated aspects of the series is the cast that will bring the iconic characters from the Harry Potter universe to life.

HBO has cast new actors to play beloved characters.

Dominic McLaughlin will play Harry Potter, bringing a new dimension to the main character.

Arabella Stanton will bring to life Hermione Granger, Harry's loyal friend. Alastair Stout will complete the main trio as Ron Weasley, a friend always ready with humor and courage.

In addition to the main trio, the series will also feature other talented actors.

John Lithgow will play Albus Dumbledore, the wise headmaster of Hogwarts.

Paapa Essiedu will play Severus Snape, the mysterious potions teacher.

Katherine Parkinson will play Molly Weasley, the loving mother of Ron and his family.

HBO's "Harry Potter" series promises to be more faithful to the original books than the previous films.

One major difference is that the characters will be true to their ages in the books.

For example, Severus Snape will be 31 years old, as described in the books.

This will add a new dimension to the characters we already know and love.

It is not yet known whether any members of the original film cast will appear in the series.

Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter in the films, has expressed his enthusiasm for the series as a viewer.

This demonstrates the support the original actors have for this new adaptation.

Francesca Gardiner will serve as showrunner, while Mark Mylod will serve as executive director and direct several episodes.

J.K. Rowling herself is also involved as an executive producer.

Originally planned as a decade-long series, HBO's "Harry Potter" series was later confirmed to have seven seasons.

Each season will be adapted from a single book in the Harry Potter series.

This allows fans to enjoy a more complete and in-depth storyline, with details that may have been missed in the film adaptations.

Development on the series began in January 2021, demonstrating HBO's commitment to delivering a quality adaptation.

Originally slated for release on Max, the series then moved to HBO in June 2024.

This decision demonstrates HBO's commitment to the project and its desire to reach a wider audience.
