Description:
Weve got our first look at the next Harry Potter as HBO starts production on 
its upcoming TV show, and its everything you want it to be.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

We wont be able to watch it until 2027, but HBO has confirmed production for 
the Harry Potter TV show is officially underway. Itll be available on HBO and 
HBO Max , respectively, in the US  though where it will be available to 
stream globally is  yet to be confirmed. 

We might not know what Hogwarts is going to look like in 2025, but we do know 
that the cast is absolutely stacked. Paapa Essiedu (Snape), John Lithgow 
(Dumbledore), Nick Frost (Hagrid), Janet McTeer (McGonagall) and Paul 
Whitehouse (Filch) lead the names well recognise alongside  a trio of 
newcomers Dominic McLaughlin (Harry), Alastair Stout (Ron) and Arabella 
Stanton (Hermione).

The original Harry Potter movies are never going to be forgotten, but its 
fair to say that the new TV show will likely become one of the most-watched 
programmes of 2027. If the first-look at one lead character is anything to go 
by, fans are going to be thrilled with whats to come. Harry Potter looks like

Fresh from their first days on set, McLaughlin looks as though Daniel 
Radcliffes 11-year-old self has jumped forward in time from The Philosophers 
Stone to start filming for HBO. From what we can already see, weve got 
exactly the same level of detail as the Harry Potter movies , but that 
shouldnt be a surprise given the budget for the entire series is allegedly 
between $2 billion and $8 billion. 

Its a hefty price tag, but if were to follow the filming timeline of the 
movies, our cast is locked into this project for at least a decade. This also 
means McLaughlin and his peers are about to grow up in front of our eyes, so 
were literally witnessing history here by seeing him at the very beginning. 

As for everyone else, it remains to be seen how faithful the TV show will 
stay to the movies or the novel series its based on. Author J.K. Rowling is 
on board as an executive producer, having previously commented on X/Twitter 
that she "couldn't be happier" with the casting choices for our leading trio. 
If writer Francesca Gardiners previous projects are anything to go by  namely 
the most recent adaptation of the His Dark Materials trilogy  we might be 
getting something as dark as Deathly Hallows from the very start. 

The release window of 2027 is also newly confirmed, though we dont have an 
exact release date at the time of writing. You might also like When might
