HBO’s Harry Potter TV show is coming to the small screen in 2027, with filming officially beginning this week. We’ve already had one first look in the form of Dominic McLaughlin’s Harry, and now a second character has followed suit. Nick Frost’s Hagrid has already made waves on the internet, but there’s something important to bear in mind.
Of course, we all love the original cast in the Harry Potter movies, including Maggie Smith (McGonagall), Alan Rickman (Snape), Michael Gambon (Dumbledore) and original Hagrid Robbie Coltrane. Yet the fact remains that in two years time we’ll have a fresh crop of famous faces in these same roles, such as Paapa Essiedu (Snape), John Lithgow (Dumbledore), Nick Frost (Hagrid), and Janet McTeer (McGonagall).
