The first frame from the new Harry Potter series has arrived!

J.K. Rowling's world-renowned Harry Potter series is making its way to television. Having previously reached millions through film adaptations, the series is being revived with a new TV series produced by HBO. The first still from the series, which has begun production, has been released.

HARRY'S FIRST COSTUMED PHOTO HAS ARRIVED

Producers released the first photo of the series' lead actor, 11-year-old Dominic McLaughlin, in his Harry Potter costume on Monday. McLaughlin will be appearing as a new generation's Harry.

NEW CAST ANNOUNCED

Some new names on the roster were also announced. Here are some:

Rory Wilmot – Neville Longbottom

Amos Kitson – Dudley Dursley

Louise Brealey – Madame Rolanda Hooch

Anton Lesser – Garrick Ollivander

These actors will share the stage with previously announced stars.

John Lithgow – Albus Dumbledore

Nick Frost – Rubeus Hagrid

Janet McTeer – Minerva McGonagall

Paapa Essiedu – Severus Snape

The three child actors who will play Harry, Ron and Hermione were also announced last May.

10-YEAR SERIES PLAN

HBO stated that the series will be "a faithful adaptation of the iconic books." The series will also feature many storylines that weren't included in the films due to time constraints, providing a more faithful narrative to the books. Production is planned to run for 10 years.

The series will be shot at Warner Bros Studios Leavesden (Hertfordshire), where all eight Harry Potter films were previously shot.

FAMILIAR NAMES FROM THE CROWN TEAM

The producers have also brought together some ambitious technical staff. Director of photography Adriano Goldman and hair and makeup designer Cate Hall, who worked on The Crown, will also be working on the new series.

The first season of the highly anticipated Harry Potter series is scheduled to air in 2027.
