HBO confirms J.K. Rowling's involvement in new Harry Potter series won't impact casting or production.

Despite J.K. Rowling's controversial views on transgender issues, HBO CEO Casey Bloys confirmed that her involvement as an executive producer on the upcoming Harry Potter TV series has not affected casting, hiring, or production. The series, expected to span seven seasons, will be a faithful adaptation of the book series, with HBO considering shooting the first two seasons back-to-back to accommodate the young actors' growth. No casting decisions have been announced yet, but HBO has emphasized an inclusive approach. The show is anticipated to premiere around early 2027.
