Accio Nick Frost‘s Harry Potter transformation.
The first look at the Shaun of the Dead actor as Rubeus Hagrid in the upcoming HBO series has been revealed, and he’s almost unrecognizable in the photo of him as the lovable half-giant.
For the snap of him in full costume, Nick rocked Hagrid’s signature long, brown curly hair and matching beard while posing for the camera with a surprised expression on his face. To top off his ensemble, the 53-year-old sported a forest green overcoat, fingerless gloves, suspenders and a striped button-down shirt.
And fans can expect to see this exact ‘fit when the first season of the Harry Potter series debuts on TV screens in 2027. After all, HBO shared that the image was taken on set of the show, which kicked off production on July 14.
“Everyone ready? ‘ere we go!” the streaming platform wrote on Instagram July 15 alongside Nick’s epic transformation. “Nick Frost has walked his first day in the big boots of Hagrid on the set of the new HBO Original Harry Potter series.”
