HBO’s ‘Harry Potter’ DP Teases More Colorful Visuals Than Film Franchise
HBO’s Harry Potter reboot is currently filming, and fans will be excited to learn that the latest adaptation will feature at least one key difference from the film franchise. The upcoming series will seemingly have a vibrant color palette, a key visual component that was missing in the iconic movies.
During an interview with Forbes, cinematographer Adriano Goldman (Andor, The Crown) teased his work on HBO’s television adaptation of Harry Potter. The director of photography revealed that, after spending 18 weeks in pre-production, the creative team settled on the visual style for the first season of the fantasy reboot. The grueling process will end up defining the series for the next decade, which Goldman teased will feature his affinity for colors. “I have a special relationship with color. This series needs to be more vibrant from the global point of view of the image,” Goldman revealed.
The extensive planning process for HBO’s Harry Potter included preparing to use mostly practical effects to bring the fantasy story to life. The film franchise used plenty of real-life sets and effects, but it also helped set the standard of cutting-edge digital effects audiences see today. However, it seems the television series is opting to do the former more often than not. “Many of the solutions we seek are carried out on camera, and not with computer graphics,” Goldman stated. Additionally, the cinematographer confirmed that Harry Potter is being planned as a seven-season endeavor, but isn’t sure if he’ll return for more: “I don’t know if I’ll be in all of them, but there’s certainly a long journey ahead.”
HBO’s ‘Harry Potter’ Cast and Crew

HBO’s Harry Potter is being written and produced by Francesca Gardiner, whose previous work includes His Dark Materials, The Man in the High Castle, and Succession. The author behind the books, J.K. Rowling, is an executive producer on the series, which has become a major point of controversy due to her increasingly dangerous anti-transgender rhetoric. Mark Mylod, who has directed episodes of Entourage and Game of Thrones, as well as the 2022 horror comedy The Menu, is set to helm Harry Potter for HBO.
The rest of the behind-the-scenes crew features Adriano Goldman (Director of Photography), Cate Hall (Hair and Makeup Designer), Paul Herbert (Stunt Coordinator), Mark Holt (SFX Supervisor), Mara LePere-Schloop (Production Designer), Naomi Moore (Set Decorator), John Nolan (Creature Effects Design Supervisor), Alexis Wajsbrot (VFX Supervisor), Dom Sidoli (VFX Producer), and Holly Waddington (Costume Designer).
