“Harry Potter” is one of the most beloved fantasy stories ever. It is about the adventures of a boy wizard and his friends at a magical school.

The “Harry Potter” franchise began as a seven-book series that has sold over 500 million copies worldwide. It was also made into eight blockbuster films that broke box office records.

Now, the story will be retold on the small screen. A major television series based on the “Harry Potter” books will be made.

In May, the main cast members of the television series were announced. They included the three young actors to play Harry Potter and his two best friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley.

These three actors are currently 11 years old, just like the characters in the first “Harry Potter” novel. So, they will grow up along with the television series, which is expected to run for 10 seasons.

The “Harry Potter” TV series recently began filming in the United Kingdom. It will premiere worldwide in 2026 or 2027.
