London, UK - Serious allegations are shaking up the filming of the new Harry Potter TV series: behind the scenes, bullying and violence are said to be the order of the day. Now, those responsible are facing drastic consequences.

On the set of the eagerly awaited show about the world's most famous wizard, things don't seem to be at all enchanting.

According to a report in The Sun, there have been repeated incidents of bullying during filming in the past – both between the adult and underage actors in the series.

But that's not all: two 12-year-old extras are even said to have come to blows after getting into a fight on the studio lot.

"I'm going to get you after filming," one teenager threatened his colleague.

A source told the newspaper that there were "a lot of youngsters on set" who did not all get along.

In order to improve the working atmosphere going forward, the production company now wants to crack down.

"It's an alarming problem and bosses want to get rid of any bad eggs among the cast and crew," the insider continued.

Rules of conduct have now been established, and anyone who is reported for bullying must expect to be dismissed immediately from now on – "no matter how famous they may be."

Filming began last summer and is set to last a total of eight years. The first season of the series is expected to debut on HBO Max in early 2027.
