John Lithgow Begins Filming As ‘Harry Potter’ Series Continues Work Across England

HBO’s Harry Potter series continued work on the upcoming series this week in both Cadgwith and Cornwall. Based off the book series by J.K. Rowling, HBO plans to release the TV adaptation in 2027.
In Cadgwith, Bel Powley (Petunia Dursley), Daniel Rigby (Vernon Dursley), and Amos Kitson (Dudley Dursley) were all seen shooting scenes, alongside Dominic McLaughlin’s (Harry Potter) double. Over in Cornwall, fans finally get their first look at John Lithgow as Album Dumbledore, as he shot scenes on the beach.
Curious to see what these beach scenes turn out to be since no scene exists in the first book.
