Hans Zimmer to Score HBO’s New Harry Potter Series
Hans Zimmer is officially heading to the Wizarding World.
According to reporting from Variety, Hans Zimmer and his music company Bleeding Fingers Music have been tapped to compose the score for HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter, set to debut in 2027.
Honoring the Past
Zimmer will be joined on the project by Bleeding Fingers composers Kara Talve and Anže Rozman, who emphasized the weight of stepping into such a beloved musical legacy.
“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 trio said in a joint statement. “The responsibility is something that myself, Kara Talve and Anže Rozman do not take lightly… With this score we hope to bring audiences that little bit closer to it whilst honoring what has come before.”

Zimmer’s credits include: Dune (Parts One and Two), Top Gun: Maverick, No Time to Die, Interstellar, The Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, The Last Samurai, Gladiator, Thelma & Louise, and more.

A New Era Begins
With Hans Zimmer and Bleeding Fingers Music shaping the sound of HBO’s Harry Potter, the series is signaling a bold but respectful evolution of the franchise. And if Zimmer’s track record is any indication, Hogwarts is about to sound bigger, deeper, and more emotionally resonant than ever before.
