Further news from the set of the Harry Potter TV series from HBO Max reveal more and more about the upcoming production, which apparently intends to show more content from the books than the movies did. Photos from the set have revealed, for example, that we will likely see Dudley Dursley's friend Piers Polkiss in the HBO Max TV series.

But that's not all that behind-the-scenes news found by fans suggests. There have also been suggestions that we will see a Hogwarts teacher who was missing from the films, as well as more of Harry's past. This is also suggested by the latest information, according to which, as reported by Wizarding World Direct, the Harry Potter TV series crew is set to shoot scenes at John F Kennedy Catholic School in Hemel Hempstead for three days.

It is believed that scenes featuring Harry at the Muggle school, St. Gregory's Primary School, will be filmed there. These scenes were described in J.K. Rowling's books, depicting the miserable life of a young wizard who knew nothing about the magical world at that time. Harry didn’t have an easy time there; not only did he have no friends, but he was also tormented by Dudley and his gang. Several magical incidents also took place there, when Harry unknowingly used his powers, which we will apparently see in the TV series.

Showing this part of Harry's life will allow viewers to better understand why Hogwarts meant so much to the young wizard, who had no safe haven among Muggles. Everywhere he went, he felt like a victim who had to fight for survival, and it was only Hogwarts that gave him a sense of security. And showing his life at St. Gregory's Primary School will further emphasize this fact.

Harry Potter TV series will air on HBO and HBO Max in 2027.
