Kate Middleton recently took a trip down memory lane with her kids as they visited the set of the highly anticipated Harry Potter television series. The royal family’s visit to the Warner Bros.

The visit to the set of the upcoming Harry Potter series was a full-circle moment for Kate, Prince William, and their three children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. The family enjoyed a private visit to the secretive set, where they had the opportunity to meet the young actors and the director. A source described the experience as “so special” and highlighted the magical atmosphere during the visit.
Over a decade ago, Kate, William, and Prince Harry had their own magical Harry Potter experience when they attended the official royal opening of Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden. The trio toured the exhibit featuring costumes, props, and sets from the iconic eight-film series, which captivated audiences worldwide between 2001 and 2011.
During their previous visit, Kate, William, and Harry had the chance to wave wands and explore the enchanting world of Harry Potter. The visit was particularly meaningful for Kate as she was pregnant with Prince George at the time. Now, taking her own children to the set of the new adaptation brings the experience full circle for the Duchess of Cambridge.
The upcoming Harry Potter television series, set to premiere on HBO in 2027, is currently in production. The series is planned to run for seven seasons, with each season corresponding to one book from the J.K. Rowling series. Kate Middleton and her children also had the opportunity to meet the newcomers cast to play the iconic roles of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and other beloved characters.
HBO and Max chairman and CEO Casey Bloys expressed excitement about bringing Hogwarts to life in a new way for audiences. The series boasts a star-studded cast, including John Lithgow, Janet McTeer, Paapa Essiedu, Nick Frost, and Lox Pratt, among others. The magical world of Harry Potter is set to enchant viewers once again in early 2027 with the premiere of the television series.
The royal family’s visit to the Harry Potter set not only reignited fond memories for Kate Middleton but also showcased their love for the beloved franchise. As anticipation grows for the series premiere, fans eagerly await the chance to revisit the enchanting world of magic and wizardry through the eyes of a new generation.
