Revealed: Harry Potter TV series shares first ever pic of Dominic McLaughlin as the boy wizard
HBO and Warner Bros. have released the first official image of young Harry Potter in their upcoming TV adaptation. On Monday 14th July, the production company announced that filming had officially begun on the highly anticipated Harry Potter TVseries, which is set to be released in 2027. Along with the announcement, the series unveiled its first official image of Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, grinning in full costume with the character's iconic round glasses, Hogwarts school robe, and distinct lighting scar on his forehead. McLaughlin will be joined by Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley for the new series. The young trio were chosen from a nationwide casting call that saw over 30,000 hopefuls audition for the legendary roles last autumn. Speaking about the casting, showrunner Francesca Gardiner and director Mark Mylod said in a joint statement back in May: "After an extraordinary search led by casting directors Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockmann, we are delighted to announce we have found our Harry, Hermione, and Ron." They continued: "The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to behold, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic together onscreen. We would like to thank all the tens of thousands of children who auditioned. It's been a real pleasure to discover the plethora of young talent out there." McLaughlin shines in his debut as The Boy Who Lived and the resemblance to Daniel Radcliffe is uncanny, making him perfect for the role. "So exciting he looks just like Harry!!!" one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter) upon seeing the image. "They nailed the main character," another said. Dominic is relatively new to the acting world, so it'll be interesting to see him in the titular role for the new Harry Potter TV series. He will also appear in the sky film titled Grow alongside Golda Rosheuvel and Nick Frost, who, coincidentally, will play Hagrid in the Harry Potter TV show. The movie will be released later in 2025. The Harry Potter TV series will air in 2027.

Kanye West's Concert Descends Into Chaos As Fans Demand Refund With Loud Chant During The Show
Kanye West's fans were left frustrated and disappointed after the rapper arrived late to his recent live show, only for the event to be further marred by technical problems. According to reports, the chaos led to loud chants from the 70,000-strong crowd demanding refunds. Some fans have since labeled the event as the "worst concert ever," with others also accusing Kanye West of lip-syncing to several of his songs. Last Friday, tens of thousands of Kanye West fans packed Shanghai Stadium in anticipation of the high-energy performance the rapper is typically known for at his shows. However, their loyalty to the rapper was met with disappointment, as they were treated to a subpar show plagued by numerous technical issues. This came after the rapper arrived more than 40 minutes late to the show, despite fans already waiting for him for several hours before the event. At some point during the chaotic event, fans who could no longer tolerate the issues began chanting for refunds right there at the venue, as seen in a viral clip on X. Interestingly, tickets for the event had ranged from a hefty 980 yuan (about $137) to 2,680 yuan (nearly $374), with many fans opting for the higher-priced seats despite the cost. It is unclear whether the rapper apologized to the crowd for his tardiness and the technical issues. However, he did take to his X account to thank fans for attending the event. He wrote, "Thank you to my fans in China and the Chinese government. The energy was amazing. Love all of you forever. Can't wait till the next show." After the show, a fan who attended the event took to X to express his disappointment over the underwhelming performance. "So I've been a fan of Kanye West since I was a teen. MBDTF opened my ears to the sonics in music," said the individual, referencing West's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," which won the Best Rap Album at the 54th edition of the Grammys. "Was hard to get tix for him in Shanghai, but got it. Was hyped af. Couldn't even sleep night before. But. Worst concert I've ever been to. @kanyewest u can be better," added the fan. The fan continued to express their frustration in follow-up posts, including calling for the singer not to tour and accusing him of lip-syncing during the Shanghai event. "@kanyewest you should not tour. It's not for you. Stick to the studio. You waste people's time, excitement, and money by pretending that you're a performer," he wrote in one post. "Mostly lip synching. His microphone must have been up less than 20 per cent of the time," the irate fan further noted in another post. An explanation for West's tardiness and the technical disruptions was offered by the event promoter, StellarAmber Group, on China's social media platform, Sina Weibo. They claimed that heavy rainfall around the time of the concert contributed to the disappointing production, as it prevented them from setting everything up according to West's specifications on time. "However, for this long-awaited return after 17 years, Ye's team insisted on prioritizing artistic integrity. After emergency adjustments, the show was delayed to ensure the best possible experience and to minimize the disappointment for the audience," read the statement, per Global Times. "We are deeply moved by the understanding and patience shown by many of the attendees and express our heartfelt gratitude. We also extend our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused and appreciate everyone's attention and support." Amid the drama surrounding the Shanghai show, a representative for West responded to sexual assault accusations made by the rapper's former assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, per the Daily Mail. Pisciotta first filed the suit against the rapper in 2024 and has revised the claims multiple times before recently submitting another amended complaint. According to West's rep, Milo Yiannopoulos, "each new revision" of the complaint from Pisciotta "contradicts" the previous ones she has made. He further described the most recent amended complaint as "fantasy fiction" that "discredits all past, present, and future testimony." "We stand ready to annihilate Ms. Pisciotta's tall tales before a jury—an exoneration so inevitable that even she, lost in her fog of fantasy, must surely see it coming," Yiannopoulos also stated.

Harry Potter: HBO Confirms 2027 Release Date for Series Adaptation — See First Production Photo
Harry Potter fans probably wish they had a Time-Turner right about now. In announcing the start of production on its upcoming Harry Potter series, HBO also confirmed on Monday that the TV adaptation will premiere sometime in 2027. More from TVLine The Gilded Age Star Unpacks Gladys' Ominous Wedding March ('She Hated It'), Previews Her New Life Overseas And Just Like That: One of Carrie's New Men Makes His Move - But Will It Last? The Pitt Shocker: Tracy Ifeachor Not Returning as Dr. Collins for Season 2 (Exclusive) Production is taking place at England's Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden; below, you can find series star Dominic McLaughlin commemorating the start of filming, dressed in Harry Potter's Hogwarts garb: This is the first official confirmation of Harry Potter's release timetable, though HBO chairman and CEO Casey Bloys previously indicated that the show may not debut until 2027. 'When we started the whole thing, we kind of laid out, 'Oh, it could probably be [2027], something like that,'' Bloys told reporters in November 2024. 'But don't hold me to any of that, because we're just getting started in the writing and casting process.' Bloys also weighed in on how the show might handle the inevitable growth spurts of its young stars during production hiatuses, a logistical issue that has previously plagued series like Netflix's Stranger Things. 'One of the ideas we talked about was shooting the first season and the second season very close to each other time-wise, because 11 to 13 is a big jump in kids' lives,' Bloys said at the time. 'You can get away with 13 to 15, something like that. So we're going to have to think about scheduling and shooting so that they don't grow too much between seasons. It is a consideration.' As previously announced, McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton and Alastair Stout will respectively play the main trio of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley in HBO's Harry Potter adaptation, while John Lithgow (as Albus Dumbledore), Janet McTeer (Minerva McGonagall), Paapa Essiedu (Severus Snape) and Nick Frost (Rubeus Hagrid) are among the adult cast members.
