New set photos from the HBO Harry Potter series appeared online, showing the Weasley family together at King’s Cross station. The images put Katherine Parkinson in the role of Molly Weasley and show several of the younger Weasleys preparing to board the Hogwarts Express.
These photos are the first clear group shots of this version of the family and have drawn attention because the scene is one many readers and viewers already know well. The pictures give a basic sense of how the production is approaching costume and casting.
The clothing looks set in the story’s original time period, and the cast includes a mix of new faces for familiar parts. For people tracking the show’s progress, these images help move the discussion from casting lists to how the world will look on screen.
Katherine Parkinson appears as Molly Weasley in the HBO Harry Potter
Katherine Parkinson is shown on the set of HBO's Harry Potter as Molly Weasley. Parkinson takes on a role that was long associated with another actor in the films, and the photos show her in a homely, layered outfit that fits the character’s practical, maternal side. The new casting does not try to copy the earlier film version exactly; it offers a different actor in the same role.
The Weasley siblings are visible in the new photos
Alongside Parkinson, the set shots show Alastair Stout as Ron, Gracie Cochrane as Ginny, and Tristan and Gabriel Harland as Fred and George. Ruari Spooner is listed as Percy in casting notices, even if he does not appear in every published photo.
The images present the siblings together in clothes that read as homemade or well-worn, which is a familiar trait of the Weasley family in the books.
The classic Platform 9¾ scene was filmed at King’s Cross
The photos were taken while the production filmed the Platform 9¾ sequence at London’s King’s Cross station in late August 2025. Local reports say crew and station staff worked to set up and protect the shoot from passersby, which allowed the team to capture the scene without wide public disruption. The shots show luggage trolleys and the moment before characters pass through the barrier into the platform area.
The wider production and schedule of the HBO Harry Potter series are now clearer
The HBO Harry Potter began principal photography in mid-2025 and is planned to adapt one book per season across multiple seasons. Casting announcements of the HBO Harry Potter over recent months have named Dominic McLaughlin as Harry, Arabella Stanton as Hermione, John Lithgow as Dumbledore, Paapa Essiedu as Snape, and other roles filled by established and newer actors.
The production has said the show will stream on HBO, with an expected launch in the coming years. These choices show the project is moving from planning into steady production.

The set photos offer a clear first look at the Weasley family for HBO’s adaptation, and Katherine Parkinson in the role of Molly. The images do not reveal plot changes or episode details of HBO's Harry Potter, but they do show how the team is treating costuming, casting, and some key locations.
For now, the photos are a simple sign that filming is active and that further casting and scene reveals are likely as production continues.
