With filming taking place in London's King's Cross station this weekend, we finally have some HD shots from the set of HBO's upcoming Harry Potter reboot as the Weasley family head to Platform 9¾.
Along with Ron Weasley (Alastair Stout) and Ginny Weasley (Gracie Cochrane), we get a first look at Tristan and Gabriel Harland as Fred and George Weasley, Ruari Spooner as Percy Weasley, and Katherine Parkinson's Molly Weasley.
These photos make it clear that Harry Potter is embracing its early 90s setting, whereas Warner Bros.' movies seemingly took place in the first decade of the 2000s. Many fans are pleased to see that the Wizarding World isn't being modernised (or, heaven forbid, Americanised), and the entire Weasley family looks perfect here.
The Harry Potter movies covered all the biggest moments in author J.K. Rowling's novels, so this show needs to do something to differentiate itself from them. Not shying away from 90s fashion might be a good start.
We don't currently know whether shooting has wrapped at King's Cross, or whether the series will return to the iconic London landmark in the coming weeks and months.
Harry Potter showrunner Francesca Gardiner (Succession) previously said that the benefit of a TV series is that it gives them a "bigger sandpit to play in" than the movies, with executive producer Mark Mylod (The Last of Us) adding that they'll "dig into the depths and crevices of Hogwarts."
Having more room to adapt these stories also means they can "really dig into the character arcs," though their intention is not to "undo what was done so brilliantly" on the big screen. We will, however, get an updated take on Hogwarts and "get to have some fun with Peeves in the corridors."
