A Magical New Set Called ‘Potterville’
‘Potterville’ is like a mini magical city. It will have detailed sets, including a perfect replica of Privet Drive – the home where Harry Potter grew up. The buildings will have Tudor-style designs to make them look realistic and magical.
The set will also have big hangars for filming, modern tech for production, and a school where child actors can continue their education while working on the show.
Why Warner Bros Is Spending £1 Billion
This massive investment shows that Warner Bros believes in the long-term success of the Harry Potter series. They are building everything needed for a full-scale production—roads, parking areas, animal enclosures for magical creatures, and advanced special effects setups.

The new series will feature a talented cast:
- John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore

- Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall
Mark Mylod, known for Game of Thrones, will direct the series. Francesca Gardiner is the showrunner, and J.K. Rowling will serve as an executive producer to make sure the story stays close to the original books.
A School for Young Wizards on Set
One special part of ‘Potterville’ is a real school built for the young actors. Since the series is expected to film for many years, Warner Bros wants to make sure that child actors get a good education while filming.
