The timing could hardly be better: in the horror month of October, filming of one of the darkest scenes in Harry Potter history takes place: in Lustleigh, Great Britain, a street was transformed into a Halloween nightmare that points to a fateful night in the magical world: the Death of Harry's parents.
The tragic moment was already hinted at in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: a house, flashing lights and the scream of Lily Potter, who stood protectively in front of baby Harry. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2 we also returned to Godric's Hollow as part of the big Snape flashback.
We didn't get more than these two brief glimpses of Halloween night 1981 in the films. The Harry Potter series appears from this to make a whole sequencewhich shows us more of the traumatic event. At least that's what new set pictures suggest, which elaborately transform Lustleigh into Godric's Hollow.

Children in the streets dressed up for Halloween and lots of scary decorations: a lot of effort was put into creating an atmospheric backdrop to create, not to mention the 1990s look that - based on all previous set images - will run through the entire series.
The big question that now arises: Will we be in this sequence? Villain Lord Voldemort get to see? The films only made him vaguely visible and later revealed him little by little, for example hidden under Professor Quirrell's turban or in the form of Tom Riddle in the Chamber of Secrets.
It wasn't until part 4, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, that Ralph Fiennes appeared in front of the camera as Voldemort. The series could go a different route here and have the villain from the start with a concrete face make it part of history. However, it is not yet clear who will play the dark lord in the series.
If we go by fan castings, Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy is at the top of the wish list. However, Murphy himself has made it clear several times that he is not part of the production. Another rumor recently raised the possibility that Voldemort would appear in the series played by a woman could become.
The casting of the villain is currently one of the biggest mysteries in the Harry Potter series. By 2027 at the latest we know which path the creative minds behind the project chose on Halloween night in 1981. The series will then start on HBO and the streaming service HBO Max.
