Hans Zimmer, the supremely talented, two-time Oscar winning musical maestro behind many iconic films such as Gladiator and Dune Parts One and Two, will be playing a huge role in bringing the wizarding world to life.

Working in conjunction with Bleeding Fingers Music, the Emmy Award-winning collective of composers cofounded by Hans Zimmer, Russell Emanuel and Steven Kofsky, who believe that collaboration is the catalyst for innovation and extraordinary music is created by those who dare to be adventurous, we can’t wait to hear what they come up with.

Hans Zimmer, Kara Talve, and Anže Rozman reflected on what it means to be part of the new series:

"The musical legacy of Harry Potter is a touch point for composers everywhere and we are humbled to join such a remarkable team on a project of this magnitude. The responsibility is something that myself, Kara Talve and Anže Rozman do not take lightly. Magic is all around us, often just beyond reach, but as in the world of Harry Potter, you simply must look for it. With this score we hope to bring audiences that little bit closer to it whilst honouring what has come before.”

The series will debut in 2027 on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max where it’s available, including recent launch markets Germany and Italy and in the UK and Ireland, where the platform is confirmed to launch in late March.
