What are the key creative roles filled for the upcoming Harry Potter series? What significance does Holly Waddington’s Oscar win have for the show’s production? Who has been confirmed for the iconic role of Albus Dumbledore, and what other casting rumors are circulating for major characters? How does the casting age requirement for Harry, Ron, and Hermione reflect on the show’s development timeline? What can fans expect in terms of the adaptation’s faithfulness to the original books?
Warner Bros. Discovery‘s Harry Potter television series is set to begin filming this summer. They have found a costume designer in Holly Waddington, who recently won an Oscar in her craft for Poor Things. Killing Eve scribe Laura Neal has joined the writers room. Deadline exclusively profiled showrunner Francesca Gardiner with insights from her colleagues and more.
Some big names have been in the conversation to play major characters in the series with Sharon Horgan (Bad Sisters), Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Brett Goldstein (Ted Lasso, Shrinking) and Mark Strong among names circulating for McGonagall, Snape, Hagrid, and Dumbledore. Deadline first reported that John Lithgow was nearing final talks for the role of Albus Dumbledore, the aloof yet powerful headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Lithgow has since confirmed the casting to Screen Rant.
More recently, Deadline broke the news that British actor-comedian Nick Frost was nearing a deal to play half-giant Rubeus Hagrid. Cryptically, on March 20, Frost posted to Instagram, “It’s happening, it’s actually happening.”
Janet McTeer is in negotiations to portray Professor Minerva McGonagal, the transfiguration teacher and head of Gryffindor house at Hogwarts, while Paapa Essiedu is closing the deal to portray potions professor and Slytherin house head Severus Snape.

As for the three leads, an open casting call note for the show’s Harry, Ron, and Hermione stipulates that the actors must be between the ages of 9 and 11 in April 2025. Daniel Radcliffe was cast in the Harry Potter movie franchise when he was 11. His co-stars, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, were 10 and 12, respectively.
WBD may also enlist a key player from the films to bring viewers back to the world of Hogwarts: Framestore, a British VFX company.
Four months after Deadline revealed that Francesca Gardiner was one of three finalists to win the prize to reboot the classic kids franchise for the small screen, the Succession consulting producer for Seasons 3 and 4 won the showrunner gig. Gardiner beat Tom Moran and Kathleen Jordan to win the role. Mark Mylod, who worked with Gardiner on Succession, will direct multiple episodes of the series in addition to executive producing.
Chris Columbus, who directed the first two films in the franchise adapted from J.K. Rowling’s best-selling books, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, approved of HBO’s television reboot, calling it a “spectacular idea.”

At its Max streaming event in April 2023, Warner Bros. Discovery confirmed a new era is coming for Harry Potter fans. The company announced a TV series based on all seven books about the boy wizard written by J.K. Rowling. On June 25, it was revealed that the series is moving to HBO in a rethink of WBD’s big-budget streaming strategy.
See below for the most current answers to the most important questions about the project.
What is the Harry Potter TV series about?
“This new Max Original series will dive deep into each of the iconic books that fans have continued to enjoy for all of these years,” said Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO & Max Content, about the project, which he also assured fans would be “a faithful adaptation.”
Early reports had each season of the series focusing on one book in the Harry Potter series, which consists of seven novels, but Bloys said the project would run for “10 consecutive years,” which would seem to defy the 1 season, 1 book assertion. For those who say Fantastic Beasts could be leveraged to provide 10 seasons over 10 years, WBD brass said specifically during the announcement that FB will not be a part of the series.

Whatever the case, Bloys promised that as the company embarks on its new Harry Potter adventure, "We do so with the full care and craft of this franchise.”
Has HBO’s ‘Harry Potter’ TV series started production?
Not yet, but HBO confirmed that the show will start shooting in the summer of 2025 at Leavesden. The April 2025 casting timeline would seem to confirm this. Showrunner Francesca Gardiner and EP Mark Mylod made a surprise appearance at the Max Showcase in London to reveal the big step in production.
Who is creating the Harry Potter series?
Succession duo Francesca Gardiner and Mark Mylod have signed up as its writer and director, respectively. Gardiner will serve as showrunner and executive producer, and Mylod will direct multiple episodes in addition to executive producing.

It had taken a bit, given the initial announcement was in April 2023, but in recent months Warner Bros. invited a select group of creatives in to pitch ideas for what the series could be. They were Martha Hillier, Kathleen Jordan, Tom Moran, and Michael Lesslie. Now, the streaming service and Warner Bros. Television narrowed it down to Jordan, Moran, and newer addition Francesca Gardiner, sources said.
Deadline broke the news last month that Succession writer Francesca Gardiner was among the finalists. Gardiner was a consulting producer on Seasons 3 and 4 of HBO’s Succession. Before working on the Jesse Armstrong creation, she was an exec producer of HBO and BBC fantasy co-production His Dark Materials and was a co-exec producer of AMC’s Killing Eve. She has also written on shows including Starz’s The Rook and Amazon’s The Man In The High Castle.
The writers’ room now also includes Laura Neal, scribe of Killing Eve.

Jordan created Netflix series Teenage Bounty Hunters. Jordan is also working with the Orange Is The New Black streamer on The Decameron, which received a series order in 2022.
Tom Moran is a British writer who created the Amazon series The Devil’s Hour, which starred Peter Capaldi. He also worked on Amazon sci-fi series The Feed and Rob Lowe cop drama Wild Bill.
It’s an interesting mix of Brits and Americans, most of whom have some experience working with streamers and many of whom have shepherded projects in the sci-fi/fantasy space.
We’ve heard that the group of writers was commissioned by Max to create pitches for a series reflecting their take on the IP. Rowling was understood to be involved in this pitching process.

Framestore VFX is in talks to recreate the magical world it brought to life in the eight movies adapted from J.K. Rowling’s seven books. Warner Bros. Discovery is also speaking to other companies about visual effects, but Framestore is in the prime position to clinch a contract, we hear. A deal is not yet done.
Costume designer Holly Waddington, who recently won an Oscar for her work on Emma Stone’s starrer Poor Things, has been recruited for the series, Deadline reported exclusively.
When will the Harry Potter series be released?
The series is expected to air in 2026 or 2027.
“We’ve not been shy about our excitement around Harry Potter,” Zaslav told Wall Street analysts on the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call. “I was in London a few weeks ago with Casey [Bloys, CEO of HBO] and Channing [Dungey, chairperson of Warner Bros Television], and we spent some real time with JK and her team,” he enthused. “Both sides are just thrilled to be reigniting this franchise. Our conversations were great.”
Given the results on that earnings call, WBD needs Harry Potter’s magic sooner rather than later.
Despite a lack of programming competing in the 76th Primetime Emmys window, Season 3 of Hacks upset Season 2 of The Bear in the Best Comedy category. CEO and Chairman of HBO and Max Content Casey Bloys gave an update about the series after this win.
Bloys suggested that the March date on the casting call for the series’ main trio might not mean the same thing as a start of production. He foresees the series arriving in late 2026 or early 2027.

Ditto J.K. Rowling, whose production company posted a 74% drop in profits in 2022. That rebounded somewhat after the stage version of Harry Potter And The Cursed Child proved to be a post-pandemic crowd-pleaser. The author got a $10.5 million paycheck for it in 2023.
The success of the stage show demonstrates that there’s still an appetite for Hogwarts-related content. Likewise, the massive hit that is Hogwarts Legacy, which became the bestselling video game of 2023, moving 22 million units. (That’s fantastic, but for comparison, Rowling’s seven bestselling Harry Potter books have moved 600M copies worldwide.)
At a Goldman Sachs conference last year, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav pointed out the need for more Hogwarts magic explicitly. Ignoring the Harry-less Fantastic Beasts films, the CEO insisted the boy wizard presents a huge opportunity, claiming that the IP has been “underused” of late.
“We haven’t done anything with Harry Potter for more than a decade,” he said, before going on to note that when one examines the performance of Warner Bros. over the last 20 years without accounting for its big three — Potter, Lord of the Rings, and DC — the company’s performance is “relatively flat.”

Zaslav called that type of big-ticket IP “one of the big differentiators of this company.” And he seems to be counting on it to make a big difference.
“When you put those franchises in, it’s the best-performing studio in the world. We need to deploy our best capital, and we need to do it with the best creative people in the world,” he said.
How to watch the new ‘Harry Potter’ series:
It will, of course, be on Max once the series is ready. The service has three price tiers: Max Ad Light, which goes for $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year and allows two concurrent streams; Max Ad Free, priced at $15.99 a month or $149.99 a year, which also allows two concurrent streams; and Max Ultimate Ad Free, which costs $19.99 a month or $199.99 a year, permitting access to four concurrent streams.
In addition, WBD’s other current epic literary adaptation, House of the Dragon, is available not only on the company’s streaming service, but also to cable subscribers on HBO. The Potter series will follow suit, according to execs. So if you have HBO via your cable provider, you’re all set.
If you’re in Canada, WBD has struck a multi-year licensing agreement with Crave for the likes of Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, the DC Universe, and HBO content.
Which actors are starring in the series? Are any of the original Harry Potter stars returning?
John Lithgow is in final talks to play the beloved Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, previously portrayed in the films first by Richard Harris in The Sorcerer’s Stone and The Chamber of Secrets films and then by Michael Gambon in the rest of the movie installments.
A whopping 32,000 young actors auditioned for the lead roles of Harry, Hermione, and Ron, Gardiner revealed at the end of 2024.
Some big-name actors have been rumored to be in consideration for the roles of various professors at Hogwarts — such as Snape, Professor McGonagall, Hagrid, and Dumbledore. No offers have yet been made, but the series may look to age down these adult characters, with Sharon Horgan (Bad Sisters), Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Brett Goldstein (Ted Lasso, Shrinking), and Mark Strong among names circulating in the rumor mill for McGonagall, Snape, Hagrid, and Dumbledore, respectively. Again, no deals have been made, but this is heavy speculation.
There will be new actors playing the series’ main characters, but no one has been cast yet. Warner Bros. TV has begun the search for actors to play the main trio of wizards — Harry, Ron, and Hermione — in children from the UK and Ireland. But they may not look like the Harry, Ron, and Hermione fans have come to love.
“We are committed to inclusive, diverse casting,” the casting call notes at the bottom in language that has become an industry standard. “For every role, please submit qualified performers, without regard to ethnicity, sex, disability, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other basis protected by law unless otherwise specifically indicated.”
Warner Bros. is very likely looking to cast young actors, given that they’re proceeding through Rowling’s books in order. “The tricky part is the first two books, where the kids are on the younger end, around 11 or 12,” said Dungey of the casting process.
“We have been trying to be very close to the vest,” said Bloys. “We haven’t gone out to agencies. We have our own internal process where we’ve been thinking about people but we have not wanted to go out into the world. Now that the news is out there… we’ll start going out to the business.”
RELATED: Daniel Radcliffe Was “Terrified” Of Alan Rickman In First Three ‘Harry Potter’ Films
Responses about a potential return from veteran guest stars in the series range from willing to coy.
Slow Horses star Gary Oldman told IndieWire at the red carpet for the 76th Emmys that he would be open to returning to the series, suggesting a portrayal of Dumbledore. The team behind the reboot has not approached him yet with any ideas. The actor also shared that he felt his original character, Sirius Black, was not present in enough of the films.
At the red carpet premiere for Season 3 of HBO’s original series The White Lotus, star Jason Isaacs joked that he hopes to return in the role of Hermione Granger.
As for a return of any of the film franchise’s stars — like Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, or Rupert Grint — never say never. It would certainly be a PR boost for the series, and while new actors will be cast in the primary roles, there are always flashforwards or the currently en vogue multiverse plot ploy that could create space for more familiar faces in the series.
But Daniel Radcliffe has said he is fine with sitting on the sidelines.
“My understanding is that they’re trying to very much start fresh, and I’m sure whoever is making them will want to make their own mark on it and probably not want to figure out how to get old Harry to cameo in this somewhere,” Radcliffe told ComicBook.com. “So I’m definitely not seeking it out in any way. But I do wish them, obviously, all the luck in the world, and I’m very excited to have that torch passed. But I don’t think it needs me to physically pass it.”

Radcliffe echoed these thoughts in an interview with E! News, saying he is “excited to watch as an audience member.”
When asked if he would be in it, he said, “I don’t think so, I think they very wisely want to have a clean break.”
Another longtime Potter player who likely won’t be involved is David Yates, who directed the last four movies, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007), Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009), and Deathly Hallows Part One and Two (2010 and 2011). In addition, Yates took on the Potter spinoff Fantastic Beasts trilogy. He says there has been no conversation about his involvement with the series. And it sounds like he’s ok with that.
“Huge affection and a lovely group of people I worked with,” Yates told Deadline. “But we haven’t had a conversation since we finished it.”
“It’s been about ‘Let’s just park it and be done for a while,’” he said of the Potter franchise.
“Never say never, I would say, but I’m excited about moving on,” he said.
Is J.K. Rowling involved in the new Harry Potter TV series?
Yes. A deal for J.K. Rowling’s involvement in the series had been the biggest hurdle in its path to the screen: the author has creative control over any exploitation of her work. That agreement was finalized in 2023.
Rowling and longtime confederates Neil Blair and Ruth Kenley-Letts are exec producing, so she is expected to be involved in the decision-making process of the series. David Heyman, who developed the films, was in talks to do the same. Rowling’s Brontë Film and TV is producing with Warner Bros. Television. Brontë Film and TV was founded by Rowling and her literary agent, Neil Blair, in 2012.
“Max’s commitment to preserving the integrity of my books is important to me, and I’m looking forward to being part of this new adaptation that will allow for a degree of depth and detail only afforded by a long-form television series,” said Rowling in a statement.

Since Warner’s launched its streaming service, there’s always been a goal to exploit Warner’s biggest franchise for streaming. Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav, taking the reins after the merger last year, met with Rowling several times in the UK. He’s even spoken up in support of the author, who has been involved in an ongoing controversy over her comments on transgender issues. Asked about the streaming event about those controversies, Bloys demurred.
“No, I don’t think this is the forum [to discuss that],” he said. “That’s a very online conversation, very nuanced and complicated and not something we’re going to get into.”
“Our priority is what’s on the screen,” Bloys continued. “Obviously, the Harry Potter story is incredibly affirmative and positive and about love and self-acceptance. That’s our priority — what’s on screen.”
As for how close the author will be to the series, Bloys said, “[Rowling] will be involved. She’s an executive producer on the show. Her insights are going to be helpful on that.”
The author’s involvement could prove a hurdle to having the principals from the films involved in the series. Relations between Rowling, Radcliffe, and Emma Watson can’t be great, given the author recently said she was “bloody angry” over stances taken by trans rights activists, which she sees as being in opposition to women’s rights.
Rowling claimed that “thousands are complicit, not just medics, but the celebrity mouthpieces, unquestioning media, and cynical corporations.” When asked specifically whether she would forgive Radcliffe and Watson for their unabashed pro-trans rights stance on the issue Rowling replied, “Celebs who cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women’s hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies.”
Bloys was clear, however, that WBD wasn’t entirely dependent on Rowling for the project.
“The TV show is new and we’re excited about that. But, remember, we’ve been in the Potter business for 20 years. This is not a new decision for us; we’re very comfortable being in the Potter business.”

At his most recent appearance speaking on the show, Bloys said, “We are totally comfortable with” working alongside the author of the source material. He pointed out that the company had “huge success” with last year’s Hogwarts video game.
He said he would rather “do what the creatives want to do” than “listen to fan conversation.”
How much will the Harry Potter TV series cost to produce?
“You know we make shows at this scale with House of the Dragon, Game of Thrones,” said Bloys. “I imagine will be that scale or higher. The shorter answer is whatever it takes to make a quality show.”
Per Deadline reporting, House of the Dragon cost nearly $200 million and was the subject of HBO’s biggest marketing campaign ever, valued at over $100 million in media spend (that’s a combo of ad spot value and hard cash shelled out). So fans can expect a similar outlay for the Potter series “or higher,” according to HBO/Max boss Bloys.
Will there be other Harry Potter-related projects?
“We’re free to do anything we want,” Zaslav has said, before hedging a bit. “Some areas we need to do with J.K., other areas we have the full ability to go forward. This is a full deployment on Max of Harry Potter. We can still develop other properties.”
It’s unclear where those boundaries lie, but it is clear that Warner Bros. Discovery would like more Potter. Since he took control of the merged company, Zaslav has stressed multiple times his focus on franchises, with mining the Harry Potter IP identified as a top priority.
Deadline understands that there may also be an opportunity for more than one of the above-mentioned writers to be involved and that Max is open to the possibility of developing more than one idea based on Harry Potter.
One such effort, Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking, has already been a ratings success, proving yet again there is still an appetite for the IP.
How long has this been in the works?
Max and its then-parent company WarnerMedia started exploring a potential Harry Potter TV series a couple of years ago. At the time, Warner Bros. appointed Kids, Young Adult, and Classics president Tom Ascheim to manage the Wizarding World and Potter franchises, which include theme parks, tours, and the $9.1 billion-grossing theatrical library that spans the Harry Potter and spinoff Fantastic Beasts titles. Under that setup, Ascheim became WarnerMedia’s senior rep in its relationship with Rowling and her representatives, and exploratory conversations for a Max series got underway.
After the Discovery acquisition was completed a year ago, that unit was disbanded and Ascheim exited the company. However, the importance of the Harry Potter IP has grown post-merger.
Zaslav spoke about his family’s personal connection to the series.
“My wife and I, we read (the Harry Potter books) to each of our three kids,” said Zaslav, going off-script at the Max announcement. “It’s really moving; for ten consecutive years, people will see Harry Potter on HBO; I mean, it’s really something.”
Everything We Know About The 2026 Show
As we look ahead to 2026, anticipation is mounting for a spectacular array of events that promise to captivate audiences worldwide. The "2026 Show" is a term that has been gaining traction, referencing various high-profile entertainment and sporting events slated for that year, culminating in a celebration of culture, innovation, and competition. Here’s everything we know so far about the 2026 Show and what fans can expect.
Major Events and Locations
One of the most notable highlights of 2026 is the FIFA World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This will be the first time the tournament has been held in three countries, and it marks a historic moment, as it will also be the first World Cup to feature 48 teams instead of the traditional 32. Matches will be played in iconic stadiums across North America, including venues like MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the Rose Bowl in California, and even the newly renovated stadiums on the Canadian side.
In addition to the World Cup, 2026 will also see multiple conventions, exhibitions, and concerts. The excitement around these events extends beyond sports, as various cultural festivals, music events, and art exhibits are expected to amp up the celebratory atmosphere.
Technological Innovations
The 2026 Show is not just about celebrating sports and culture; it is also an opportunity to showcase technological advancements. With rapid developments in digital technology, we can expect an enhanced viewing experience with innovations such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Fans might have the chance to immerse themselves in a virtual stadium environment, interact with their favorite athletes through holographic representations, or even participate in live engagement via apps that provide real-time statistics and augmented experiences.
Moreover, advancements in sustainable technologies will play a critical role during this time. As global awareness of climate change continues to grow, the 2026 Show is likely to put a spotlight on eco-friendly practices, including renewable energy sources used to power venues and waste management systems designed to reduce the environmental impact.
Cultural Celebrations
The 2026 Show will also embrace the rich tapestry of cultures represented by the host nations. Festivals celebrating music, dance, art, and culinary traditions from the United States, Canada, and Mexico will be integrated into the events. Expect to see everything from traditional dance performances to popular music festivals that feature local and international artists. This fusion of diverse cultures aims to foster goodwill and understanding among nations and promote the idea that sports transcend borders.
Major cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto will likely be at the forefront of these celebrations, showcasing their unique local flavors while bringing in international acts. The inclusion of street fairs, art installations, and food experiences will allow fans to experience the hospitality and vibrancy of these regions.
Social Initiatives
The 2026 Show will also focus on emphasizing social issues, including inclusivity and support for marginalized communities. Sports have historically brought people together, and the events planned for 2026 will likely promote unity and address issues such as gender equality and accessibility. Initiatives may include programs to ensure that underrepresented groups have opportunities to participate, whether as athletes, performers, or viewers.
Additionally, partnerships with various non-profits and community organizations will likely be formed to ensure that the events provide long-term benefits to local populations. By investing in social initiatives, the 2026 Show could serve as a beacon of hope and progress in the broader conversation about equality in sports and society.
Ticketing and Accessibility
As the excitement grows, many fans are already wondering how they can secure tickets to the various events. While official ticket sales have yet to begin, it’s expected that there will be multiple tiers of ticket pricing to accommodate different budgets. Early bird options and special packages may be available, allowing fans to access multiple events at a discounted rate.
Furthermore, ensuring accessibility for all types of fans will be a priority. Most venues will be equipped with facilities to cater to individuals with disabilities, with organizations involved in planning already highlighting the importance of inclusivity in their arrangements.
Conclusion
The 2026 Show promises to be a historic combination of sports, culture, and technology. As we count down to this momentous occasion, there’s so much to look forward to—from thrilling matches at the FIFA World Cup to rich cultural experiences that will highlight the diversity of North America. With a commitment to sustainability and inclusivity, the 2026 Show seeks not only to entertain but also to inspire meaningful conversations around unity and progress. As we await further announcements and developments, the excitement continues to build, setting the stage for what is sure to be an unforgettable experience in 2026.
As anticipation builds for the 2026 event, fans and followers are eager to learn more about what to expect. This spectacular occasion will be a significant highlight, showcasing a range of activities, performances, and innovations.
One of the most exciting aspects is the lineup of participants, which is expected to include both established names and emerging talents across various fields. There may even be special collaborations that fans have not seen before, adding an extra layer of excitement.
The venue selection is another crucial element, with multiple locations likely being utilized to accommodate the anticipated influx of attendees. These venues are expected to be equipped with cutting-edge technology to enhance the experience, including immersive environments and interactive elements.
Sustainability is anticipated to be a focal point, with organizers likely implementing eco-friendly practices throughout the event. This commitment to the environment may be reflected in everything from the materials used for staging to waste management.
In addition, there may be innovative features such as interactive experiences for attendees, allowing for a deeper engagement with the event. This can include virtual reality stations, mobile apps for real-time updates, and social media integrations to connect participants with broader audiences.
Security measures will also be a priority, ensuring a safe experience for everyone involved. This may include comprehensive planning and coordination with local authorities to address safety concerns.
Lastly, the buzz surrounding merchandise and collectibles linked to the event will undoubtedly capture the attention of fans. Limited edition items and collaborations with artists could emerge, providing unique keepsakes and memorabilia.
As the date approaches, more details are likely to unfold, building excitement and setting the stage for a memorable celebration in 2026.
