Hans Zimmer and Bleeding Fingers to Compose Harry Potter Score
HBO today announced that Hans Zimmer and Bleeding Fingers will compose the new score for the HBO Original Harry Potter series. The series will debut in 2027 on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max, where it’s available, including recent launch markets Germany and Italy, and in the UK and Ireland, where the platform is confirmed to launch in late March.
“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,” said Hans Zimmer.
He added, “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 media, with a cumulative worldwide box office gross of more than $28 billion. Zimmer has been honored with two Academy Awards, three Golden Globes, four Grammys, an American Music Award, seven Emmy nominations, and a Tony nomination.
Zimmer’s 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.
Bleeding Fingers Music is an Emmy Award-winning and Grammy- and BAFTA-nominated collective of exceptional, sonically diverse composers who create superlative original film, television, and multimedia scores. Co-founded by Hans Zimmer, Russell Emanuel, and Steven Kofsky, Bleeding Fingers is guided by the principle that collaboration is the catalyst for innovation—and extraordinary music results from empowering artists to be adventurous, experimental, and creatively generous.
With 25 state-of-the-art studios and its best-in-class production team, Bleeding Fingers enables the production of music at the highest standard, always challenging the status quo.
The Harry Potter series is written and executive-produced by Francesca Gardiner. Mark Mylod will executive produce and direct multiple episodes of the series for HBO in association with Brontë Film and TV and Warner Bros. Television.
The series is executive produced by J.K. Rowling, Neil Blair, and Ruth Kenley-Letts of Brontë Film and TV, and David Heyman of Heyday Films.
