Ready for a peek inside Hogwarts? Work is still well underway on HBO\u2019s new adaptation of Harry Potter<\/a>, telling the original stories of The Boy Who Lived in televisual form. But the first official look at the show has just been unveiled. We\u2019ve already seen its young stars \u2013 Dominic McLaughlin, Alastair Stout, and Arabella Stanton, playing Harry, Ron and Hermione respectively \u2013 in a cast shot<\/a>, and many unofficial paparazzi photos have circulated from production. But this is it: our first actual official look at the show itself.<\/p>\n

\"Harry<\/p>\n

That is, of course, McLaughlin\u2019s Harry Potter in his Quidditch robes, ready to step up as Seeker in the Gryffindor team, having become an instant whiz at the Wizarding World<\/a>\u2019s favourite sport. In the background you\u2019ll see Gryffindor and Hufflepuff banners, and another banner hailing Gryffindor \u2018Beaters\u2019, Fred and George Weasley. The image was posted on the official Harry Potter social channels, simply stating: \u2018Tomorrow\u2019. Expect, then, a first teaser trailer to debut on March 25 \u2013 coinciding with the launch of HBO Max in the UK.<\/p>\n

The Harry Potter series comes from showrunner Francesca Gardner, and has Mark Mylod on board as producer, with Hans Zimmer contributing to the score. John Lithgow has been cast as Dumbledore, with Nick Frost as Hagrid, Paapa Essiedu as Professor Snape, and Janet McTeer as Professor McGonagall. The first season, adapting The Philosopher\u2019s Stone<\/a>, is expected to arrive in 2027.<\/p>\n
