It\u00a0has been widely reported that each season of the\u00a0Harry Potter\u00a0reboot will consist of\u00a08 episodes, meaning HBO can\u00a0expand the Wizarding World in a way the movies didn’t have room to.<\/p>\n
Many scenes and characters that were left on the cutting room floor out of necessity can now be adapted, and one of those has seemingly been spotted after\u00a0production moved\u00a0to Skipton in\u00a0North Yorkshire, England.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A wizard has been spotted on the roof of his house, waving his wand around in a celebratory manner. As for what’s happening here, we can once again look to the books\u2014Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, in this instance\u2014for answers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Professor McGonagall sniffed angrily. ‘Oh yes, everyone\u2019s celebrating, all right,’\u00a0she said impatiently. ‘You\u2019d think they\u2019d be a bit more careful, but no \u2013 even the Muggles have noticed something\u2019s going on. It was on their news.'”<\/p>\n

“She jerked her head back at the Dursleys\u2019 dark living-room window. ‘I heard it. Flocks of owls …\u00a0shooting stars …\u00a0Well, they\u2019re not completely stupid. They were bound to notice something. Shooting stars down in Kent \u2013 I\u2019ll bet that was Dedalus Diggle. He never had much sense.'”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Could this be our first look at\u00a0Dedalus Diggle? We’d bet on it just being a random wizard who is having a little too much fun celebrating Lord Voldemort’s apparent demise, but there’s another big talking point from these latest set photos.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The wand this wizard is using looks like a twig; that’s a far less elaborate design than many of the wands we saw in the Harry Potter movies, and could be our first look at another significant way this series will differ from those.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some fans have suggested that this, seemingly, being a “working-class” wizard, could explain why his wand is a little more basic. If so, then it adds an interesting wrinkle to the franchise and shows that a lot of thought is being put into the different types of witches and wizards out there.<\/p>\n
