The Harry Potter TV reboot is making headlines again, this time for creating a real school for its young actors. Warner Bros Studios Leavesden, near Watford, has secured approval to build a temporary school on-site. This move ensures child stars can continue their education while filming the highly anticipated series.
Three Rivers District Council recently greenlit the project, allowing portable classrooms to serve as a learning facility. Although not as grand as Hogwarts, the school will accommodate up to 600 students during peak filming days. Typically, around 150 young actors will use the space daily. The magical adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s books is now in full swing, with production well underway. The new facility ensures education remains a priority for the young cast
The Harry Potter TV reboot requires extensive filming schedules, including night shoots and location work. To help young performers balance studies and acting, the school will operate from 05:30 to 20:30 on weekdays. This setup ensures they meet legal education requirements while working.
Planning documents reveal the school will remain in place for up to 10 years. Interestingly, the application was partly retrospective, meaning some work had already started. While the documents avoid naming the Harry Potter TV reboot directly, they reference a major TV series filming at Leavesden for 8–10 years.
Warner Bros confirmed filming began this week, following a massive casting call. Over 32,000 children auditioned for lead roles, including Scottish actor Dominic McLaughlin, who will play Harry Potter.
Child actors often face challenges balancing school and filming. By building an on-set school, Warner Bros ensures compliance with education laws while maintaining production efficiency. The Harry Potter TV reboot is set to be a long-term project, making this a smart investment.
Fans eagerly await more updates as the magical world returns to screens. Meanwhile, young stars will enjoy a structured learning environment—proving even wizards need to hit the books.
