Harry Potter Reboot Plans Filming Start in 2026

Warner Bros. Discovery is gearing up for the highly anticipated Harry Potter reboot series, which is set to begin filming in summer 2025. The show aims to provide a more faithful adaptation of J.K. Rowling's novels, and while casting news is still under wraps, actor Jason Isaacs, who played Lucius Malfoy in the original films, has hinted at knowing some of the cast members, calling them 'incredible actors.' Rumors are swirling about potential castings, with fan-favorite Cillian Murphy reportedly considered for the role of Professor Quirrell rather than Voldemort. The series' creative team includes Mark Mylod as director and Francesca Gardiner as showrunner, both of whom have impressive credentials from projects like Succession. As enthusiasm builds, fans await official announcements regarding the core characters, expected later this year. The series is intended to be a faithful adaptation and will film at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, the same location as the original films.
