HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter reboot still needs to fill a few key roles (who will play Voldemort?), and as the TV series gears up to begin shooting, construction on the show’s massive practical sets continues.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We’ve seen Privet Drive<\/a><\/strong> and a bare bones version of Platform\u00a09\u00be<\/strong><\/a>, and snaps\u00a0of what look like Hogwarts’ Great Hall have just found their way online (via SFFGazette.com<\/a>). They don’t show much, but all signs point to it being a suitably impressive take on a key location in the books…and movies.<\/p>\n Topping what we saw in the latter will be no easy feat, though that goes for every location that’s being recreated in Harry Potter. The biggest\u00a0test will be how this\u00a0show’s take on those differs from what we’ve already seen on screen over the years.\u00a0<\/p>\n As you’d expect, there’s a huge\u00a0amount of construction currently taking place in the UK, and one can’t help but wonder whether this will be another tourist attraction for Warner Bros. somewhere down the line. The Harry Potter Studio Tour is right around the corner and houses many of the sets and costumes featured in the movie franchise.\u00a0<\/p>\n While this TV series has the opportunity to spend a lot more time with these characters than those (heaps of big moments never made it off the page thanks to the restriction of a two-hour runtime), and we pointed out above, it’s hard to say how it will otherwise differentiate itself from what’s come before.<\/p>\n For Warner Bros. Discovery, the plan seems to be to continue monetising the franchise, all while introducing it to a new generation of children.<\/p>\n You can take a closer look at the early construction for Harry Potter’s Great Hall in the X post below.<\/p>\n
