Leading the lineup is veteran actor John Lithgow, who takes on the pivotal role of Albus Dumbledore, following the footsteps of Richard Harris and Michael Gambon, who portrayed the Hogwarts headmaster in the film franchise.

On Thursday, Max shared the news on X (formerly Twitter) with the post: "Wands at the ready. The upcoming HBO Original Series, #HarryPotter, will be filming at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden with production starting in summer 2025 and premiering on Max."

HBO’s decision to reboot the beloved “Harry Potter” series as a television show has generated massive interest, and while Fiennes hasn’t confirmed his own involvement, he has previously expressed interest in returning to the role.
