New ‘Harry Potter’ Set Photos Reveal First look at Draco, Neville, and Iconic Robes
New photos from the set of HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series give fans their first real look at Hogwarts in action.
The pictures, shared by Mail Online, show a key scene from The Philosopher’s Stone, including Harry chasing Draco Malfoy during a flying lesson that leads to his spot on Gryffindor’s Quidditch team. In the scene, Malfoy steals Neville Longbottom’s Remembrall, and Harry catches it after it drops from high above the castle.
The set photos also give a first look at several characters. Dominic McLaughlin appears in purple Hogwarts robes as Harry Potter, while Rory Willmort plays Neville Longbottom. Lox Pratt is seen as Draco Malfoy, and Alastair Stout plays Ron Weasley. Louise Brealey takes on the role of Madam Hooch.
