The Weasley family has officially arrived at Platform 9 ¾, delighting Harry Potter fans worldwide. Set photos and videos have emerged from the set of HBO's upcoming "Harry Potter" TV series, offering the first glimpse of the Weasley family. The images capture the iconic scene at King's Cross Station where Harry first meets the Weasleys in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

The cast members spotted filming include Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley, Gracie Cochrane as Ginny Weasley, Tristan and Gabriel Harland as Fred and George Weasley, and Katherine Parkinson as Molly Weasley. Ruari Spooner, who will be playing Percy Weasley, was not present in the photos. Casting is still underway for the roles of Charlie, Bill, and Arthur Weasley.

The set photos reveal that the show is embracing its early '90s setting, which has pleased many fans. This suggests a faithful adaptation of J.K. Rowling's beloved book series. Some fans have expressed excitement that the Wizarding World isn't being modernized. The series aims to capture the essence of the books, offering a more in-depth exploration of the characters and storylines.

The "Harry Potter" TV series, which is set to premiere in 2027, will cover all seven books. Dominic McLaughlin will play Harry Potter, and Arabella Stanton will play Hermione Granger. Nick Frost will play Hagrid, John Lithgow will play Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer will play Minerva McGonagall, and Paapa Essiedu will play Severus Snape.

The series presents an opportunity to rectify some of the changes made in the movies, particularly regarding Ginny Weasley's character. In the books, Ginny has a more prominent role and a more developed personality. The show aims to give her character more depth and screen time, staying true to the source material.

Filming for the "Harry Potter" TV series began in July 2025. Francesca Gardiner ("Succession") is the showrunner, and Mark Mylod ("The Last of Us") is an executive producer. With a larger "sandpit to play in" than the movies, the TV series promises to delve deeper into the depths and crevices of Hogwarts.

The arrival of the Weasleys at Platform 9 ¾ has generated significant buzz among Harry Potter enthusiasts. The set photos offer a tantalizing glimpse into the world that awaits, sparking anticipation for the series premiere in 2027. As production continues, fans eagerly await more news and updates, eager to see their favorite characters and stories brought to life in this new adaptation.
