JK Rowling has voiced strong support for HBO’s upcoming “Harry Potter” television adaptation, calling the first two episodes “SO, SO, SO GOOD!” in a recent post on X. Though she’s not writing for the series directly, Rowling confirmed she’s been “working closely with the extremely talented writers.”
The announcement follows an exhaustive casting process that saw thousands of young hopefuls auditioning for the beloved roles first brought to life by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint more than two decades ago.
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.
