As the weeks pass, the upcoming Harry Potter series continues to create buzz. With statements from notable figures like Chris Columbus and regular leaks of behind-the-scenes photos, fans are eager to discover which scenes from J.K. Rowling’s novels will be brought to life on screen.
New Leaked Photos from the Harry Potter Series
The upcoming Harry Potter series commissioned by HBO aims to adapt J.K. Rowling’s novels more faithfully than the original film series. While the eight films that showcased Harry, Hermione, and Ron’s journey have become iconic in popular culture, HBO believes there’s enough demand for a new series. Despite concerns about reusing actors and costumes, the project is reigniting interest in the beloved franchise.
Regardless, the Harry Potter series is underway, with filming officially commencing on July 14, 2025, at Leavesden Studios. This milestone brought the release of the first images featuring Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter and Nick Frost as Hagrid. However, it’s the leaked images that have drawn the most attention, particularly those of characters Vernon Dursley and Dedalus Diggle.

1990s Nostalgia in the New Images
The recent photographs have garnered significant interest due to their 1990s aesthetic. Although the Harry Potter series is set in the 1990s, the narrative actually transports readers back to 1981 with the prologue of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. In this prologue, which takes place in 1981, Vernon Dursley notices peculiar happenings during his lunch break, encountering oddly dressed individuals and a mysterious supporter.
These new images showcase Daniel Rigby as Vernon, complete with a mustache, being approached by a man in a distinctive purple suit, identified by fans as Dedalus Diggle. Following the release of images allegedly depicting a young Lily and James Potter, this latest pairing has further excited the online community, with many praising the series for its faithful adaptation of Rowling’s novels.
