Production on Season 1 of Harry Potter ended in Spring this year, with HBO wasting no time in starting production on the second season, which has already added some important names to the cast. Billy Barratt (Invasion)has been added as Tom Riddle in Harry Potter Season 2, The Chamber of Secrets, with Lenny Rush and Bonnie Hill playing Dobby and Ginny Weasley, respectively. Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) has also been added as Gilderoy Lockhart, taking over from Nicholas Hoult stepping back from the role due to scheduling conflicts.
But it seems these new faces are now facing their first big hurdle when it comes to filming Harry Potter Season 2. According to The Sun, with scripts yet to be finished and signed off, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is now facing weeks of delays. According to The Sun’s sources, this is apparently due to higher-ups wanting “the plot and characterizations to be perfect,” with production pushed back to October. Warner Bros. or HBO have yet to comment on the report.

Gryffindor Tower · Scarlet & Gold
🦁 Gryffindor
You have nerve. Not the reckless kind, but the deep, quiet courage that shows up even when you’re terrified — especially then.
Gryffindors don’t act because they’re fearless — they act because they understand that some things are worth being afraid for.
You stand up for people when it would be easier to look away.
You charge toward what’s right even when the odds are terrible.
Harry, Hermione, Ron — the heroes of Hogwarts’s greatest chapter — all called the tower with the scarlet and gold home. And now, so do you.

Slytherin Dungeon · Emerald & Silver
🐍 Slytherin
You are driven, sharp, and utterly clear-eyed about what you want and how to get there.
Slytherin has long been misunderstood — painted as the house of villains when it is, at its best, the house of those who refuse to accept limits placed on them by others.
You are resourceful, strategic, and you play the long game.
You know your worth. You protect your own fiercely.
The dungeon common room with its view of the Black Lake is yours — and the ambitions that will take you further than anyone expects are yours too.

Hufflepuff Basement · Yellow & Black
🦡 Hufflepuff
You are the kind of person that makes the world genuinely better just by being in it.
Hufflepuff is not the “safe” house or the “leftover” house — it is the house of those with the greatest heart and the most unwavering integrity.
You show up. You work hard. You don’t need glory or recognition — you do what’s right because it’s right.
Your loyalty never wavers, even when tested.
Nymphadora Tonks, Cedric Diggory, Newt Scamander — some of the wizarding world’s finest. And now you join them.

Ravenclaw Tower · Blue & Bronze
🦅 Ravenclaw
Your mind is your greatest gift, and you’ve always known it.
Ravenclaws are the thinkers, the questioners, the ones who find a puzzle irresistible and a good book better company than most people.
Ravenclaw is not merely about intelligence — it’s about the love of learning, the pursuit of truth, and the rare courage to admit you don’t know something yet.
You see the world with unusual clarity and depth.
Luna Lovegood, Filius Flitwick, Rowena Ravenclaw herself — all extraordinary, all original. And so are you.
