For the first time, fans caught a glimpse of Harry Potter and Hagrid together on Sunday, but it’s important to note that Nick Frost wasn’t physically present in this scene. Instead, filming footage showed Dominic McLaughlin dressed as Harry walking alongside the imposing figure of Rubeus Hagrid. However, it appears a stand-in was filling in for Frost during these outdoor shots. Given the circumstances, it’s plausible that close-ups might have revealed the visual effects used to make Hagrid appear so towering. The new Harry Potter series is currently being filmed and is expected to debut on HBO in early 2027.
On a sunny day in London’s Borough Street, spectators spotted Harry Potter and Hagrid purchasing school essentials on Sunday. This seems to be an early scene in the tale, as Hagrid had presumably rescued Harry from the Dursleys and was preparing him for their visit to Diagon Alley to gather all the necessary items for Hogwarts.

In this part of the show, we get closer to sticking with the book’s storyline – in the initial novel, Hagrid escorts Harry home after their shopping trip, and it is the Dursleys who then take him to catch the Hogwarts Express, causing his bewilderment about locating Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. However, the first film presents a different scenario where Hagrid takes Harry from Diagon Alley directly to King’s Cross Station, leaving him on his own to find his way there.
The creators of the new Harry Potter adaptation have made it clear that adhering to the original books is a major focus for their series. Unlike many of the films, which deviated from the books primarily for time constraints, this extended format allows them to delve deeper into the story without such limitations. It’s uncertain how they plan to split the books to span as many as 10 seasons, but it appears that additional screen time will be dedicated to transitional moments.
The main filming of Harry Potter is happening at Warner Bros. Leavesden Studios, a suburb of London. Yet, it’s the second time the cast and crew have been seen within London itself to capture exterior shots such as these. The previous sighting was at the London Zoo, where they were probably shooting Dudley’s (Amos Kitson) birthday party since all the necessary actors appeared to be present. Interestingly, unlike the movies, this scene included Dudley’s friend, Piers Polkiss, who is played by Mickey McAnulty.
Currently, you can stream the Harry Potter films on HBO Max, and the books are accessible in print, digital, and audio book versions. The new adaptation of Harry Potter is set to debut on HBO in early 2027.
