Harry Potter Set Videos Show 2 Beloved Characters Together

New videos and photos from the set of HBO‘s Harry Potter reboot have revealed fresh looks at Nick Frost‘s Hagrid and Dominic McLaughlin‘s Harry Potter.

Who are in the new Harry Potter set videos and photos?

The cast and crew of Harry Potter were recently spotted on set at Borough High Street, where McLaughlin and Frost were spotted filming scenes. Harry’s outfits continue to tease a 1990s setting, which would be faithful to J.K. Rowling’s books. While Frost was on set, some of the new set photos show Hagrid’s stunt double, Anthony Wally, standing in for the actor when he appears next to McLaughlin, as the character is supposed to be roughly twice the height of a mortal man.

Wally is shown wearing a Hagrid headpiece, which will be replaced in post-production by Frost’s face through special effects, a technique that was also used for Robbie Coltrane’s Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies.

Every behind-the-scenes picture from HBO’s Harry Potter series gets me more excited about a meaty, authentic delve into the world.

Meanwhile the pictures from Gerwig’s set indicating “Wardrobe” could be set in the 90s are nauseating. pic.twitter.com/zum5zNcJ05

McLaughlin recently opened up about succeeding Daniel Radcliffe in the role of Harry Potter, admitting that it felt “a bit surreal to be honest.” He continued, “I was always a huge Harry Potter fan when I was younger. And it was like the dream role, of course, so I’m thrilled to be able to be doing it.”

The actor will lead the series, with Arabelle Stanton and Alastair Stout co-starring as Harry Potter’s best friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, respectively. The rest of the main cast includes John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, and Frost as Rubeus Hagrid. Actors who will recur in the first season include Tristan Harland, Gabriel Harland, Ruari Spooner, and Gracie Cochrane, who were recently revealed to be portraying Ron’s siblings Fred, George, Percy, and Ginny, respectively.

Francesca Gardiner is serving as head writer and showrunner on Harry Potter, while Mark Mylod is attached as its main director. The first season is slated to premiere on HBO in 2027.
