Discovery<\/a> has revealed our first look at Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter. As production officially begins, we now have a clearer expected release date. Warner has confirmed a 2027 debut for both HBO and the newly (re)branded HBO Max. For reference, HBO\u2019s streaming service, \u201cHBO Max,\u201d was renamed \u201cMax\u201d in 2023, but has since reverted to the original \u201cHBO Max\u201d title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/potterspotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-13.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-734\" srcset=\"https:\/\/potterspotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-13.png 450w, https:\/\/potterspotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-13-263x300.png 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\"><sub>Source: Warner Bros.
