Filming for HBO’s Harry Potter TV show is based at Leavesden Studios but has also been heading out for many location shoots.
Production of the highly anticipated series began on the edge of Watford in July and is set to hit TV screens on HBO and HBO Max in 2027.
Each season of the show will be a faithful adaptation of the Harry Potter books, from author and executive producer JK Rowling.
It follows the popular film adaptations that starred Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint as the protagonists.

See some of the locations known to have used below:
Warner Bros Studios Leavesden
When not on location, the production is based at the same complex in Warner Drive, off Aerodrome Way, Leavesden, which hosted the movies.
The main hub is where scenes using specially designed sets on soundstages are being produced and a school building has even been created to help the child actors keep up with their studies.
Berrybushes Farm
Plans to use Berrybushes Farm in Langleybury Lane, near Hunton Bridge, for film or TV production were approved earlier this year and it appears likely this will be for Harry Potter.
Warner Bros. had exclusive access to use it until October and entertainment website Redanian Intelligence reported 24 days of Harry Potter filming were planned there.
Rumoured filming nearby
Filming at John F Kennedy Catholic School, Hemel Hempstead was rumoured among residents to be for Harry Potter, soon after production officially began in July.
However, this was never confirmed.
It also appeared that the use of the former Watford Police Station in Shady Lane, Watford, a few days earlier may have been for the series due to the Warner Bros. vehicles and equipment on site.
Hoddesdon
The production team stayed in Hertfordshire for some exterior scenes filmed in Hoddesdon during September.
Actors were seen out in the street, with fans speculating that it is for a scene from the books featuring Harry’s uncle Vernon Dursley, played by Daniel Rigby, encountering witches and wizards in his daily life in the fictional suburb of Little Whinging.
Yorkshire
Crews were spotted with cameras on actors who were waving wands on top of homes in Skipton, North Yorkshire, in October.
Despite residents being pretty certain that it was for Harry Potter based on this, it has not been officially confirmed.
Rural scenes were also filmed in nearby Malham, according to fans.
Cornwall
Filming in Cornwall in October included scenes at Cadgwith Cove and Kynance Cove, featuring the actor playing Dumbledore, John Lithgow.
Other outdoor scenes are being shot in other areas of the South West including Trago Mills shopping complex.
