New Look at HBO’s ‘Harry Potter’ Reboot Unveils Iconic Vehicle Fans Will Instantly Recognize

As a huge film buff, I’m so excited about HBO’s Harry Potter series! They’re already filming, and we’ve gotten some great first looks at the actors who will be playing our favorite characters. But honestly, what *really* got me buzzing were the new photos revealing one of the most memorable elements from the original films – it’s instantly recognizable, almost as iconic as the characters themselves!

While Harry Potter filming is underway in the United Kingdom, fans have gotten a first look at the actual prop used for the Hogwarts Express as it was being transported to the set. The famous train appears to be a perfect replica of the one featured in the original movies. Some viewers might see this as evidence that the new remake isn’t needed, while others will likely be pleased to see the filmmakers staying true to the original design. Either way, audiences can anticipate seeing Harry Potter and his companions traveling on the red and black train to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You can view the photos below.

As a huge movie fan, I’ve been following the news about the Harry Potter series coming to HBO, and it’s exciting to see things moving forward! Besides the incredible, iconic vehicle they’re using, I’ve noticed a lot of the original main cast members have been spotted on set recently. It looks like, from Harry himself to the whole Weasley family, HBO is really trying to stay true to what we all loved in the films. Naturally, this has gotten everyone talking about whether a remake is even needed. But the people making the show have explained they believe TV will give them the space to explore the books in a much deeper way, including storylines that weren’t in the movies. With HBO planning to produce Harry Potter for the next ten years, I guess we’ll all be able to make up our own minds when the first season finally arrives in 2027.
