New set photos from the Harry Potter<\/a> television series reveal changes to an iconic location. HBO’s Harry Potter show<\/a> is filming season 1, which will consist of eight episodes adapting the first novel. The cast includes Dominic McLaughlin as Harry, Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley, Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, and Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall.<\/p>\n

Since a season of television has a longer runtime than a movie, the series has been touted as a more faithful adaptation of the source material, with the plan being that each season will adapt one of the seven books. This has inevitably led to comparisons with the movies, even before the show’s 2027 debut.<\/p>\n

The latest comparison comes with the show’s set photos of Diagon Alley. The photos provide a glimpse of the magical location that brings Harry into the Wizarding World after growing up with the Dursleys. This includes a look at Quality Quidditch Supplies, a store that is featured in the first book and movie.<\/p>\n

Two other shops, Glissando’s and Primpernelle’s, are also featured in the images, neither of which were featured in the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone novel or film.<\/p>\n

Madam Primpernelle’s Beautifying Potions was first mentioned in The Daily Prophet Newsletters, a series of four real-world newsletters written by J.K. Rowling that were exclusive to Bloomsbury’s Official Harry Potter Fan Club from 1998 to 1999.<\/p>\n

Glissando’s, which is located above Primpernelle’s in Diagon Alley, is a new addition to the Wizarding World<\/a>. The musical notes on the logo and the instruments in the front window indicate that it is a music shop.<\/p>\n

The overall aesthetic of the show’s Diagon Alley, from the street to the shops, looks nearly identical to the movies. This is not the first time that such similarities have been noted, as the costumes for the show’s Harry and Hagrid looked similar to the films, leading to questions about how different the series will end up being from its predecessors.<\/p>\n

Including Primpernelle’s and Glissando’s is a change from the Harry Potter books<\/a>, though. If the show is faithful to the first novel, Harry will not be stopping either of these shops, but they are a small way of further fleshing out Diagon Alley with old and new details from the fictional universe’s lore.<\/p>\n

HBO’s Harry Potter series has the challenge of being faithful to the books while also building off the beloved movies and trying to create something new. It will be impossible to please all fans, but the Diagon Alley set photos hint at how the series will try to achieve this, in this case with the aesthetic of the movies alongside the inclusion of newer details.<\/p>\n
