HBO has revealed the first image of Dominic McLaughlin in the iconic role of Harry Potter, complete with the famous round glasses and lightning-bolt scar.

The announcement comes 14 years after the final film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, closed the chapter on the original movie saga.

Many fans believed the story wouldn’t be retold so soon, but Warner Bros. has pushed forward quickly, placing this new version at the centre of its strategy to bring back major franchises.

In the newly released image, Dominic McLaughlin appears ready to take on the legendary role of Harry Potter, bringing a fresh face to a character known worldwide.

Alongside him, new cast members include Rory Wilmot as Neville Longbottom, Amos Kitson as Dudley Dursley, Louise Brealey as Madam Hooch, and Game of Thrones actor Anton Lesser as Garrick Ollivander.

Dominic McLaughlin is expected to be a key figure in Harry Potter HBO series, as Warner Bros. plans a decade-long retelling of J.K. Rowling’s original book series.

Though no official release date has been confirmed, the production is now in motion and aiming to recreate the magical world in full detail.

Despite the strong following of the original films, reactions to the new Harry Potter series have been mixed.

Some are excited to see the beloved books reimagined, while others worry about comparisons to the well-loved film versions and question whether Warner Bros. will see the full series through to completion.

As filming begins, all eyes are on Dominic McLaughlin, who steps into the enormous shoes of Harry Potter. Time will tell if this ambitious reboot can capture the magic once again.
