‘Harry Potter’ TV series hit with major setback

Harry Potter TV series is facing a major problem on set.

The upcoming show which will star several well-known faces including John Lithgow as Professor Albus Dumbledore, and Nick Frost, as Rubeus Hagrid, is plagued by bullies.

According to Daily Mail, there have been alarming accusations of bullying and claims that two 12-year-old extras were spotted fighting on set.

It has escalated so much so that bosses at Warner Brothers have reportedly been forced to step in and issue warnings to both adults and children, as well as the threats of being booted from the show no matter how famous they may be.

A source suggested, "There are a lot of youngsters on set at any one time, and the reality is that not everyone is going to get on. It's an alarming problem and bosses want to get rid of any bad eggs among the cast and crew."

They further said that the bosses have issued warning about the concerning behaviour and has made it clear that anyone, be it a child or adult, will be "immediately axed" if they are reported of ill behaviour.

"Filming is going to last eight years and bosses are adamant that any inappropriate behaviour must be nipped in the bud," a tipster told The Sun."The reports of bullying have been treated incredibly seriously."

Harry Potter TV series season one, likely based on Philosopher/ Sorcerer Stone will premiere somewhere in 2027.
