If you're interested in the Harry Potter TV series from HBO Max, we've gathered all the known information about the upcoming production.
Harry Potter is one of the most eagerly awaited TV series announced. Fans will have to wait a little longer for it, but we are slowly learning more and more about this production, which is now in full swing. The crew and cast are moving forward, and we are receiving more news from the set, which will certainly increase over time.
Release date of the Harry Potter TV series from HBO Max
It is far too early to set a specific release date, as the cast only entered the set in July 2025, where they will spend many more months before they manage to shoot the entire first season. Therefore, the creators could only reveal that the Harry Potter TV series will be released on HBO and HBO Max in 2027.
Harry Potter TV series trailer
It is also too early for a full-fledged trailer showing scenes from the TV series, but that doesn’t mean we have received nothing. Along with the announcement of the Harry Potter TV series from HBO Max, a teaser was released with a view of the castle and the logo, although it isn’t known whether these versions will be the final ones.
