Grammy-winning music composer Hans Zimmer is all set to helm the original score for HBO's much-awaited 'Harry Potter' TV series.

As per Variety, Hans Zimmer and his music company, Bleeding Fingers Music, will compose the score for the HBO TV series, which is set to debut in 2027. HBO announced the news on Instagram and wrote, "Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!" - Albus Dumbledore. We're honoured to announce that Hans Zimmer and Bleeding Fingers will compose a new score for HBO's Harry Potter series. Coming soon to HBO Max."

Bleeding Fingers was founded by Zimmer along with Russell Emanuel and Steven Kofsky, with a collective of composers who compose original scores across films, TV, and other creative projects.

For the 'Harry Potter' TV series, Karan Talve and Anze Rozman will join Zimmer, promising to bring fans closer to the magical world of wizardry.

"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 Anze 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 honouring what has come before," the composers said, as per a statement.

Zimmer is known for his work across iconic films like 'Inception', 'The Lion King', 'Dune', 'Black Hawk Down', and 'Gladiator', among others. He also won multiple awards, including the prestigious Oscar for 'Dune' and 'The Lion King'.
