Dominic McLaughlin appears as Harry Potter in HBO’s reboot, spotted filming with Hagrid in a leaked Diagon Alley scene.

Dominic McLaughlinDominic McLaughlin has officially been spotted in character as Harry Potter, thanks to new leaked footage from HBO’s upcoming series. The clip, filmed on London’s Borough Street, shows McLaughlin’s Harry alongside Nick Frost’s Hagrid as the two walk together for the first time on screen.

Fans believe the scene captures one of the story’s earliest milestones: Hagrid taking Harry from the Dursleys to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies. The moment mirrors the original 2001 film, where Daniel Radcliffe and Robbie Coltrane appeared in the same setting. Coltrane, who passed away in 2022, left behind a legacy that Frost now steps into.

The HBO reboot is aiming for a faithful 10-season adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s books, with season one confirmed at eight episodes and filming running through May 2026. The series, which also stars Arabella StantonArabella Stanton, Alastair Stout, and John Lithgow, premieres in 2027.
