Fans of the upcoming Harry Potter HBO series will be interested to hear about Dominic McLaughlin's latest project. The actor, who is set to bring Harry Potter to life on screen, is also taking on a new role in a BBC series described as being "Stranger Things-inspired." This announcement comes as production for the ambitious Harry Potter adaptation is well underway.

Dominic McLaughlin was officially confirmed as Harry Potter earlier in February 2026, and filming for the HBO Original series began in the summer of 2025 at Leavesden Studios. The production schedule is extensive, with the first season expected to wrap by mid-2026. This indicates that McLaughlin is balancing his commitments, including the planned seven seasons of the Harry Potter show over a decade-long production cycle. His role in this new sci-fi series showcases his versatility while we eagerly await his debut as the Boy Who Lived in early 2027.
