One of the most successful book series and movie franchises of all time, Harry Potter, is set to return to the screen\u2026 but this time, in an all new HBO television series. HBO\u2019s new\u00a0Harry Potter\u00a0series is slated to be one of the biggest television projects we\u2019ve seen this decade. Fans can expect the HBO original series to undergo a 10-year long process. Yes, you read that right. Over the course of the next 10 years, HBO plans to adapt each of the seven beloved books into its own season.<\/p>\n

With new cast members and production already underway, there\u2019s a lot in store for this new adaptation. Read on to find out everything we know about HBO\u2019s upcoming Harry Potter series. <\/p>\n

Francesca Gardiner<\/a>, known for her Emmy-winning work on Succession<\/a>, will serve as the showrunner, writer and an executive producer of the series. Game of Thrones<\/a> and Succession vet Mark Mylod<\/a> will join Gardiner to direct multiple episodes and executive produce. According to Deadline<\/a>, Gardiner was picked for the job back in June 2025\u00a0after a four-month selection process involving Rowling\u2018s input<\/a>. Gardiner is a Harry Potter super fan and even identifies with Hermione Granger herself, stating how, like Hermione, she\u2019s always had an \u201cunappealing desire to be top of the class.\u201d Gardiner has big shoes to fill with this 10-year project, and many creative decisions she makes now could launch the careers of the young actors to worldwide recognition.<\/p>\n

Author J.K. Rowling <\/a>will also serve as an executive producer alongside Neil Blair<\/a> and Ruth Kenley-Letts<\/a> of Bront\u00eb Film and TV, plus David Heyman<\/a> of Heyday Films. In addition to Gardiner, Killing Eve: Season 4<\/a> head writer Laura Neal<\/a> will join the writers room.<\/p>\n

WHAT IS THE UPCOMING SERIES ABOUT?<\/p>\n

The new television adaptation will chronicle Harry\u2019s entire story from beginning to end, with each of Rowling\u2019s novels receiving its own season. In the main Harry Potter book series, there have been seven published novels beginning in 1997, and eight feature films since 2001, the most recent being Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2<\/a> in 2011. All of the Harry Potter films are Certified Fresh<\/a>, and have become instant fan-favorites.<\/p>\n

In the season-by-season adaptation of J.K.\u00a0Rowling\u2019s seven books, fans will be able to witness Harry, along with his friends Ron and Hermione, as they navigate the difficult challenges of wizarding life, battle Voldemort\u2019s forces, unravel the mysteries of the past, and grow up together. Given the production format, it is safe to assume that the first season of the HBO show will follow Rowling\u2019s debut novel Harry Potter and the Sorcerer\u2019s Stone.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s In It?<\/p>\n

From what we know so far<\/a>, comedic actor Nick Frost<\/a>, known for his role in Shaun of the Dead <\/a>and his recent performance in the live-action How To Train Your Dragon<\/a>, is set to portray Rubeus Hagrid, a half-giant wizard and the Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. The news was shared via a social media post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Leading the show<\/a> are young actors\u00a0Dominic McLaughlin,\u00a0Alastair Stout,\u00a0and\u00a0Arabella Stanton, who\u00a0have been cast as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger. They will play the characters that stars Daniel Radcliffe<\/a>, Emma Watson<\/a>, and Rupert Grint<\/a> famously portrayed across eight feature films.<\/p>\n

The faculty at Hogwarts<\/a> will feature actors Paapa Essiedu<\/a> (Black Mirror<\/a>) as Severus Snape, Janet McTeer<\/a> as Minerva McGonagall, Luke Thallon as Quirinis Quirrell, Paul Whitehouse<\/a> as Argus Filch, Louise Brealey<\/a> as Rolanda Hooch, and legendary actor John Lithgow<\/a> as Albus Dumbledore.<\/p>\n

The series has also made way for more rising young stars<\/a>, including Lox Pratt as Draco Malfoy, Alessia Leoni as Parvati Patil, Sienna Moosah as Lavender Brownand, Leo Earley as Seamus Finnigan, and Rory Wilmot as Neville Longbottom. With the series expected to span a decade, fans are excited to witness each cast member grow up in their respective roles.<\/p>\n

With filming underway, HBO has publicly announced<\/a> the majority of the show\u2019s remaining ensemble. Fans will watch Katherine Parkinson<\/a> as Molly Weasley, Johnny Flynn<\/a> as Lucius Malfoy, Bel Powley<\/a> as Petunia Dursley, Daniel Rigby <\/a>as Vernon Dursley, and Bertie Carvel<\/a> as Cornelius Fudge.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, one big mystery still remains: It is currently unknown who will be playing villain Lord Voldemort. While no official announcement has been made, rumors have circulated that Ralph Fiennes<\/a>, who portrayed the antagonist in the Harry Potter films, could potentially reprise his role in the TV series. Fans and even Fiennes himself have backed the idea <\/a>of Oscar-winning actor Cillian Murphy<\/a> taking on the role. It is also unclear if any more actors from the original films, such as Radcliffe, will have any involvement in the series.<\/p>\n

Are there any trailers?<\/p>\n

No trailer has been released yet, but HBO has shared a first look <\/a>of Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter via social media<\/a>. HBO\u2019s Harry Potter series began production<\/a> in July 2025 in the UK<\/a>, so it is safe to assume that filming will commence over the course of the next year. With a 2027 premiere scheduled, Potterheads likely won\u2019t get a trailer until 2026.<\/p>\n

HBO\u2019s Harry Potter Series is set to release in 2027.<\/p>\n
