Actor from 'Harry Potter' narrates bizarre encounter on HBO program
Harry Potter fans are in for a treat as HBO has announced its highly anticipated TV series adaptation of the beloved franchise, scheduled to premiere in early 2027. The first season will consist of eight episodes, marking the beginning of a 10-year-long project that aims to adapt each of J.K. Rowling's seven books into their own season, with new seasons rolling out through 2037.
Filming for the series began in July 2025 at Leavesden Studios in the UK. The project is creatively led by showrunner Francesca Gardiner and director Mark Mylod. The series will debut on HBO and HBO Max, covering multiple international markets including Germany, Italy, and the UK.
Dominic McLaughlin, an 11-year-old actor, has been cast to play the iconic role of Harry Potter. McLaughlin, who was a huge Harry Potter fan as a child, shared his feelings about wearing the Hogwarts uniform for the first time during filming. He described the experience as surreal and expressed his thrill about portraying the dream role.
McLaughlin is not the only talented young actor involved in the series. Alastir Stout has been cast as Ron Weasley, and Arabella Stanton will portray Hermione Granger. The showrunner and filmmaker have praised the trio's talent, with Gardiner and Mylod expressing their excitement about working with the young actors.
McLaughlin has also been promoting his new film, Grow, which was released on August 16. He spoke candidly about his time on the set of the fantasy-drama series to BBC News, sharing his experiences and feelings about being part of the Harry Potter universe.
The upcoming HBO series is shaping up to be a faithful and exciting adaptation of the Harry Potter franchise. With its talented cast and creative team, fans are eagerly awaiting the series' release in 2027.
