HBO Max’s new *Harry Potter* TV series aims to be a more accurate adaptation of the books than the films were. It’s too early to say if it will succeed as a story, but the creators are definitely staying true to the look and feel of the original material. The show is carefully recreating iconic imagery from the *Harry Potter* universe, and details like the Hogwarts Express and character costumes closely match what fans remember from the movies, all while still bringing the magical world to life. The first glimpse of John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore confirms this commitment to the source material’s visual style.
I was so excited to see new photos pop up on X from Wizarding World Direct! They’ve shared some set pictures of John Lithgow as Dumbledore, and it looks like he was filming on a beach. He’s got the full Dumbledore look – the long white beard and everything – and is dressed perfectly as the headmaster of Hogwarts. You can check out the pics below – they’re amazing!
