The Harry Potter TV series can be a point of monoculture fixed by nostalgiaBut it seems to be just as great a cultural phenomenon as films and books, despite ongoing controversy over the HBO show. So far, we have had more photos and official footage of current production, all of which have commanded mass attention. Our first glance at the Privet Drive series version gave us an overview of one of the key locations while discovered photos later discovered The new version of the 9¾ platform. Now, more photos have emerged showing the Darsley family visiting the London Zoo (via Daily mail).

Both in the book and in the 2001 film "Harry Potter and the Wizard's Stone", the title wizard visits the local zoo along with his aunt and uncle and their son, Dudley. There, he is experiencing his own magical abilities after not knowing Parceletong to communicate with a Burmese python and remove the glass he places, allowing the snake to escape the closure and cause panic among the zoo guests. The movie "Stone Stone" shot this scene in the London Zoo's house. Now, it seems that the new series, set to debut in 2027, has returned to the London Zoo to shoot what is most likely the same scene - which attracts us all to look at the question of why we get this remake in the first place.

The new photos show Dominic McLaflin, Harry Potter, dressed in a blue hood and his famous circular glasses as he attended the birthday trip of the cousin at the zoo. The pictures also show Dudley Darsley of Amos Kitson, the aunt of Harry Patunia (Bell Pauli) and his uncle Vernon (Daniel Rigby), all appearing in the scenes filmed in the zoo's penguin housing. We also look behind the scenes, as crew members prepare the actors for their scene.

This follows McLaflin's first official photo as a boy who livedwhich was released by HBO on July 14, 2025, along with the announcement that the new series is officially in production. The company also confirmed the new members of the cast in the form of Rory Wilm such as Neville Longbotom, Kitson as Dudley, Louis Brailey as Madame Huh and Anton Leicester as Garik Olivander. All this only helped build anticipation for the play, though that anticipation is offset by the fact that the author of the original books, FC Rowling has made controversial comments considered anti-transforms more people, including several Harry Potter films.

As such, every update we get from this production appears under a dark cloud of controversy. Whether it will hurt the performance of the series, it remains to be seen, but it is aside, it is still absolutely the thinking that this remake is happening so soon. The fact that the show is also filmed at the London Zoo, where the film version of "Harry Potter and the wizard's stone" was filmed, adding only in confusion.
