Hans Zimmer and Bleeding Fingers to compose new score for HBO Original Harry Potter series

HBO today announced that Hans Zimmer and Bleeding Fingers will compose new score for the HBO Original Harry Potter series. The series will debut in 2027 on HBO Max.

Hans Zimmer says: "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 honoring what has come before.” 

Hans Zimmer has scored more than 500 projects across all mediums, cumulatively grossing more than $28 billion at the worldwide box office. Zimmer has been honored with two Academy Awards®, three Golden Globes®, four Grammys®, an American Music Award, seven Emmy® nominations and a Tony® nomination. His work highlights include Dune Parts One and Two, Top Gun: Maverick, No Time to Die, Interstellar, The Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, The Last Samurai, Gladiator and Thelma & Louise. Most recently, he scored the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced Apple Original Film, F1: The Movie, the highest-grossing sports film of all time. Beyond his award-winning compositions, Zimmer is a remarkably successful touring artist and will be completing the European leg of his Hans Zimmer Live tour in spring 2026.
