A new Harry Potter TV series will premiere this Christmas, with the first eight episodes set to be shown. Dominic McLaughlin reportedly plays the new Harry Potter. According to reports, the Dursley family has a new look, and Hagrid takes the London Underground with Harry Potter.
These details are reportedly revealed in HBO's first trailer, as noted by the BBC. It also appears that viewers will see Harry Potter in a regular muggle school before he goes to Hogwarts. Much, such as the costumes, is recognizable from the original films.
Film moments like the scene where Harry, Hermione, and Ron meet for the first time on the train are also retained, including Ron's dirt on his nose. K. Rowling is reportedly one of the series' producers.
