First Look at the New Harry
Fans rejoice! The long-awaited first frame from the completely new Harry Potter series has finally appeared online. In this magical shot, we see Harry himself, clad in the familiar robe, shining in the signature colors of the valiant Gryffindor. The role of the main character in this ambitious reboot of the cult franchise has gone to young 12-year-old Dominic MacLoughlin. And HBO, fueling interest, promised to reveal the first details of the project with an intriguing caption to the frame on March 25 – we are eagerly waiting!
Grand Plans: Seven Seasons
It is worth reminding that the information about the reboot of the beloved Harry Potter story first leaked in 2022. Currently, filming for the first season is in full swing, and its plot, as expected, is entirely based on the events of the book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." The screenwriters have conceived a grand project: the series will consist of seven seasons, each corresponding to one of the legendary books by J.K. Rowling. The premiere of the very first season is scheduled for early 2027 – time flies unnoticed!
Cast and First Wave of Criticism
As for the cast, the key roles have already been assigned. Ron Weasley will be portrayed by Alastair Stout, Hermione Granger by Arabella Stanton, and the role of Professor Severus Snape has gone to Paapa Essiedu. It is his casting that has sparked a wave of outrage among devoted fans of the original films. Recently, the actor candidly admitted that he has already faced a wave of online bullying due to his participation in the project. Many fans of the cult franchise are convinced that he is unworthy of this iconic role, which was brilliantly performed by the unforgettable Alan Rickman.
