A new image from HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series has been released. The photo, published on the show’s official Instagram page, shows Harry Potter from behind as he walks towards the Quidditch pitch wearing a red and gold cloak representing the Gryffindor house at Hogwarts.
The cloak displays the main character’s surname and number. In front of him, a large group of students is entering the pitch, where flags of the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff houses can be seen.
