The upcoming Harry Potter series concluded the second month of filming rather discreetly, with a few announcements and not a lot of official news, apart from the very public filming at Borough Street and King\u2019s Cross Station. However, fortunately for the fans, the photographers managed to navigate the HBO security and get some photos of the cast. Everything seems to be top-notch from whatever little we have got to see and observe of the series. The HBO series will follow the footsteps of the very famous Harry Potter movies, adapting one book per season, and the first two seasons will be filmed back-to-back, so the seasons will be filmed without much of a gap.<\/p>\n

Filming at Borough Street<\/p>\n

On Sunday, August 17, the cast and crew of Harry Potter were spotted filming near The Blue Maid pub in London. Dominic McLaughlin\u2019s Harry and Nick Frost\u2019s Hagrid were\u00a0photographed on set<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both the actors themselves and their scale doubles were present. Nick Frost\u2019s double is the 2.2m (7\u20332) Anthony Wallyn, who was recognized as\u00a0Britain\u2019s tallest policeman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Blue Maid pub is speculated to stand for the Leaky Cauldron, which is the entrance to the magical Diagon Alley that Harry and Hagrid used. That\u2019s not confirmed yet, but it would make sense.<\/p>\n

Filming at King\u2019s Cross Station<\/p>\n

On Sunday, August 24, the cast and crew of HBO\u2019s Harry Potter arrived at London\u2019s King\u2019s Cross station to film the scenes happening there in the books. The Weasley family was very\u00a0well photographed<\/a>\u00a0on site thanks to local photographers.<\/p>\n

Filming at Springfield Gardens, Upminster<\/p>\n

Springfield Gardens in Upminster will stand for Privet Drive, where Harry Potter grew up living with the Dursleys. The location is much more posh than the Privet Drive featured in the movies. Springfield Gardens will feature external shots, while the real filming with the cast will take place in the Privet Drive set in Leavesden Studios. Filming has wrapped on Springfield Gardens in August, where the crew captured drone-style, sweeping footage for scenic shots.<\/p>\n

Upcoming filming at King\u2019s Langley farm<\/p>\n

The Berrybushes farm<\/a> in Langbury, situated very close to Leavesden Studios, will host some of the pivotal sets of Season 1. The farm, which has previously been used for other productions like Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Fast X, has been leased by the Harry Potter series for 18 months, ending in October 2026. <\/p>\n

The sets being constructed there include a thatched cottage and road, an old couple\u2019s home, a sports stand, gardens, a greenhouse, and a stone outbuilding. Despite the 18-month lease, filming at the location will only take place for 24 days.<\/p>\n

Filming will take place at The Clock Tower in Hoddesdon in September. Not much is known about the filming at this location yet, but it could stand for the Clock Tower at Hogwarts.<\/p>\n

Upcoming filming at Cadgwith, Cornwall<\/p>\n

The Harry Potter series will film at Cadgwith, Cornwall, between October 6-10. The road between Prazegooth Lane and Campion Lane will be closed for filming. The proximity of the road to the beach suggests that the beach may be the location for the filming<\/p>\n

In other news, Chris Columbus, director of the first two Harry Potter movies, had some interesting observations about the Harry Potter series. Appearing on\u00a0The Rest Is Entertainment\u00a0podcast, Columbus said he was somewhat baffled by the HBO TV series remake.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I\u2019m seeing these photographs \u2026 and he\u2019s wearing the exact same costume that we designed for Hagrid. Part of me was like: What\u2019s the point? I thought everything was going to be different, but it\u2019s more of the same. It\u2019s all going to be the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very flattering for me, because I\u2019m like, that\u2019s exactly the Hagrid costume that we designed.\u201d He continued, \u201cSo, part of it is really exciting, so I\u2019m excited to see what they\u2019re going to do with it. Part of it is sort of deja vu all over again.\u201d<\/p>\n

As HBO continues to announce cast, we expect more announcements in September.<\/p>\n

The confirmed cast list is as follows:<\/p>\n

Harry Potter\u00a0series will film until May 2026 and is eyeing a 2027 release. Season 2 will begin filming back-to-back after Season 1 after a short break. Stay tuned to Redanian Intelligence for more news.<\/p>\n
