We have a release date window for HBO's Harry Potter show, and the first shot of Harry's new actor in costume.
reboot, which will not be a series of movies but rather a long-running TV show that at minimum, should run for well over a decade given all the material that needs to be covered, and the lengthy breaks between seasons of streaming shows.
HBO has nowthat season 1 will release in 2027. Presumably season 1 is book one, and HBO has not discussed how exactly future seasons will be structured, nor if the entire series is “guaranteed” at this point to make it through the full series. The show has been announcing loads of cast members, including most recently its central trio of Harry, Ron and Hermione. Now, HBO has shared the first official production photo which has new Harry, Dominic McLaughlin, age 11, suited up as the Hogwarts-attending Potter for the first time. It’s interesting to me that if this really is the first scene, they’re shooting something that isn’t in the pre-Hogwarts intro with the Dursleys. The other two cast members are Alastair Stout and Arabella Stanton as Ron and Hermione, and HBO released a cast photo of them back on May 27. But this is the first shot of any of the actors in costume at all. Here’s the overall cast list, adults and kids, that we know for the show so far based on the last few months of announcements, including two new ones today at the bottom:Alastair Stout as Ron WeasleyNick Frost as Rubeus HagridKatherine Parkinson as Molly WeasleyDaniel Rigby as Vernon DursleySienna Moosah as Lavender BrownThe show has garnered much controversy for A) existing at all, given how beloved the movies are, B) JK Rowling’s involvement who has spoken out repeatedly against transgender rights and C) some of the casting choices. Most seem dead on, but the most controversial is easily Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape. First, he’s young and handsome, not exactly what the role calls for. Second, he’s black, which does in fact create some awkward moments if the books are followed, like James Potter tormenting a young Snape in the ‘70s, including hanging him upside down at one point. It’s unclear how that will be handled.
