‘Harry Potter’ TV Series Due To Hit HBO In 2026: Everything We Know About The Cast, Who’s Creating It, What J.K. Rowling Says & More


All the news on HBO's streaming 'Harry Potter' TV series, including cast, release date, how to watch, development and whether J.K. Rowling will be involved.

The open casting call note seeking out the show’s Harry, Ron and Hermione stipulates that the actors must be between the ages of 9 and 11 in April 2025, which might signal the aim for the series to start production then. “I was in London a few weeks ago with Casey [Bloys, CEO of HBO] and Channing [Dungey, chairperson of Warner Bros Television] and we spent some real time with JK and her team,” he enthused. “Max’s commitment to preserving the integrity of my books is important to me, and I’m looking forward to being part of this new adaptation which will allow for a degree of depth and detail only afforded by a long form television series,” said Rowling in a statement.
