HBO’s Harry Potter series gives viewers a look into production through new set photos of the cast in action. One of the most anticipated upcoming HBO series, Harry Potter is a new re-imagining of the iconic books, following the critical and commercial success of the movie series and the Fantastic Beasts spinoffs.
As of August 2025, HBO’s Harry Potter is in production, with Dominic McLaughlin stepping into the role made famous by Daniel Radcliffe in the movie series. Fans have already been treated to a first look at a pivotal book scene between Harry and the Dursleys during their trip to the zoo.
With filming underway, more images from the Harry Potter set have made their way online, courtesy of @WW_Direct. In the new set photos, fans are treated to a closer look at Dominic McLaughlin and Nick Frost’s Hagrid body double in costume. Check them out below:
The images show Dominic McLaughlin wearing the iconic Harry Potter glasses and dressed in baggy clothes with a backpack. He is being led across a busy London street by Frost’s Hagrid body double to an iconic location made famous in the books.
What The HBO Harry Potter Photos Mean For The Show
The Show Looks Set To Bring Diagon Alley To The Small Screen
While it’s initially unclear in the photos as to where Harry and Hagrid are going, given the location, it looks like the duo are likely on their way to Diagon Alley. It remains to be seen how the production team plans to bring Diagon Alley to life, but given the Harry Potter series’ first glimpse at Hogwarts, viewers could be pleasantly surprised.
The photos released of Harry and Hagrid in London indicate that production of HBO’s TV series is moving along on schedule. While there has been some uncertainty about HBO’s Harry Potter since its initial announcement, these photos indicate that the show could bring something exciting to viewers.

The costumes of both McLaughlin and Frost’s double match up to their character’s descriptions in the movies and books, with Hagrid’s costume in particular paying tribute to Robbie Coltrane’s iconic role in the movie series. McLaughlin’s baggy clothes match up with his character and Harry’s previous misfortune of having to wear his cousin Dudley’s hand-me-downs.
Filming in the streets of London means that the HBO series is working hard to remain faithful to the original book series. While Diagon Alley hasn’t been shown to viewers yet, given the images released from Harry Potter so far, it looks like HBO is well on their way to releasing a great TV adaptation of the iconic book series.
