Shooting of Harry Potter series begins; fans will have to wait for two years for first season

Shooting has begun for the highly anticipated Harry Potter series, which fans have been eagerly awaiting with great excitement. The series is currently being shot at Warner Bros. Studios in the UK — the same studio where the eight-part Harry Potter film franchise was made. The series is being produced by HBO and is based on J.K. Rowling’s beloved novel series.

Meanwhile, the makers have released the first look of 11-year-old Dominic McLaughlin, who plays Harry Potter. The behind-the-scenes team shared an image of the young actor dressed in Hogwarts uniform and wearing the iconic round glasses.

Arabella Stanton will play Hermione Granger, while Alastair Stout takes on the role of Ron Weasley. According to HBO, the first season is expected to be released in 2027. Reports suggest the entire series will take ten years to complete. The producers have claimed that the adaptation will remain completely faithful to Rowling’s original novels.
