Photos from the set of HBO’s upcoming “Harry Potter” remake reveal a sneak peek at how the Dursley family, Harry’s maternal relatives, are being portrayed in this fresh take on the popular series.
Recently, Dominic McLaughlin (Harry Potter), Bel Powley (Petunia Dursley), Daniel Rigby (Vernon Dursley), and Amos Kitson (Dudley Dursley) were seen filming at the London Zoo for the Harry Potter series. They closely resemble their descriptions in J.K. Rowling’s first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (also known as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in the U.S.). Bel Powley’s Petunia sports blonde hair, similar to her book character, while Daniel Rigby’s Vernon has a mustache reminiscent of his novel counterpart.

Harry Potter set photos hint at book-accurate 1990s setting
Numerous Harry Potter enthusiasts have observed that the characters are dressed in clothing suitable for the 1990s, mirroring J.K. Rowling’s choice of setting her Harry Potter novels during that decade. The upcoming adaptation appears to be reflecting this decision, which differs from the movies that never explicitly indicated when they were set and also did not strive to create a 1990s aesthetic.
Introduced in 2023, the Harry Potter remake by HBO is known for its truer representation of J.K. Rowling’s cherished book series. McLaughlin takes on the role of Harry Potter, while Alastair Stout and Arabella Stanton share the screen as Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The principal cast also includes John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, and Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid.
Francesca Gardiner is functioning as the chief scriptwriter and executive producer on Harry Potter, while Mark Mylod has been appointed as its primary director. The filming for the initial season is anticipated to continue until May 2026, followed by Season 2 commencing a few months later. This scheduling strategy aims to avoid issues related to growth spurts among the young actors, a problem Netflix’s Stranger Things series encountered due to extended periods between seasons.
Harry Potter is slated to premiere on HBO in 2027.
