A Spellbinding New Era Begins

Wands at the ready—production has officially begun on the brand-new Harry Potter television series, exclusively from HBO Original! Set to enchant a new generation of fans, the series is currently filming at the iconic Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in the UK, with a premiere date slated for 2027 on HBO and HBO Max.

The magical reboot promises to bring J.K. Rowling’s beloved wizarding world to the small screen in a more expansive, episodic format—recasting iconic roles while diving deeper into the rich lore of Hogwarts and beyond.
