Info in Movie News | Harry Potter fans all over the world are going to be thrilled. The TV series of the Harry Potter saga is now in the works and it promises to be a truly groundbreaking moment in the history of television.
According to The Sun, HBO and Warner Bros will join forces and invest an astonishing amount of £1 billion to build a complete mini-town at Leavesden Studios in Hertfordshire, England, the place where the first eight movies were produced.
The huge expansion is made up of huge sound stages, multi-storey car parks, newly constructed roads, and even a school for the many young actors who are bound to be committed to the series for a long time. It is also necessary for the production to have separate facilities for animals such as owls, cats, rats, snakes, and the like that will be shown in the story.
One of the standout features is the creation of a newly updated version of Privet Drive, the fictional street where Harry grew up with the Dursleys. This modernized set is being built on unused land next to the studio and features Tudor-inspired architecture while preserving its classic charm.
The show's promise is that it will be a true adaptation of the seven-book saga created by J.K. Rowling, where each series will cover a single book. This method will make it possible to introduce secondary characters and side stories in greater detail that were either removed or not filmed, such as Peeves the poltergeist, Winky a house-elf, and the complex potter stories of the magician’s world.
The casting process for Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley is still not over. There are over 32,000 applicants who have sent their video auditions to the producers. They are seeking artists who are able to match one of the most beloved and recognized characters of the 21st century, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint.
While the cast remains under wraps, insiders report that HBO is planning for the series to span at least a decade, making the up-front infrastructure investment a strategic long-term move.
Beloved magical creatures from the original series, such as Hedwig the snowy owl, Crookshanks the cat, and Scabbers the rat, will also return in some form. Warner Bros has confirmed that no animals are kept in this workplace overnight, the well-being of the animals is of paramount importance.
The new series is set to begin filming soon, with its premiere expected in 2026. The lineup comes with great anticipation, a budget that is beyond any doubt, and a devotion to the original books so that the worldwide fans cannot wait for the franchise to return to the world of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in a TV format.
