HBO’s Harry Potter remake brings a subtle yet exciting wardrobe upgrade to Hogwarts. While how this change will be received by the viewers remains unknown, it could prove to be a smart business move for Warner Bros.Some earlier photos from the shooting set captured students wearing an identical robe to the original films. However, a later set of photos suggested a subtle change. Hogwarts students, including Lox Pratt (Draco Malfoy), Alastair Stout (Ron Weasley), Rory Wilmot (Neville Longbottom), and McLaughlin, may not be seen in the familiar all-black look.Fans are theorising that the costume department may have taken some creative liberty this time. The latest batch of on-set shots shows McLaughlin alongside Pratt, Stout, and Wilmot. This time, the group is seen wearing robes that lean towards a deeper burgundy shade instead of the deep black used in the movies.How the new Harry Potter TV series is changing the costumes from the movies?The inside lining of the hoods reportedly features a greenish plaid pattern, a small but distinct departure from the franchise’s long-standing style.

Initial film costumes were plain, often oversized, but formal, capturing the innocence and wonder of the first two films.Combined with characteristic features (like Hermione's curly hair, Harry's glasses, and Malfoy's silver hair), we got the essence of Hogwarts through the costumes. Hogwarts to us was both a very familiar boarding school and a fantasy world, nowhere to be seen in real life.About the Harry Potter HBO seriesHBO's Harry Potter series will air in 2027.
