Warner Bros. Discovery has confirmed that the Harry Potter TV series has begun filming. HBO began production on the show and released a photo of Dominic McLaughlin in costume. Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, United Kingdom hosts the latest extension of this franchise. Rory Wilmot will play Neville Longbottom and Amos Kitson will play Dudley Dursley.
The cast was a big announcement that took place recently. Showrunner Francesca Gardiner and director Mark Mylod put their thoughts to paper when HBO Max’s Harry, Hermione and Ron announcement dropped.
“After an extraordinary search led by casting directors Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockmann, we are delighted to announce we have found our Harry, Hermione, and Ron,” Gardiner and Mylod wrote. “The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to behold, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic together onscreen. We would like to thank all the tens of thousands of children who auditioned. It’s been a real pleasure to discover the plethora of young talent out there.”
