HBO’s ‘Harry Potter’ Series Enlists Hans Zimmer & Bleeding Fingers For New Score

Academy Award-winning Hans Zimmer (Interstellar, Ramayana) and The Bleeding Fingers collective are set to compose the soundtrack for HBO’s Harry Potter adaptation. The series is slated for a 2027 release on HBO Max. The Streaming platform’s reach will extend to Germany, Italy, and, following a confirmed late-March launch, the UK and Ireland, ensuring the series is available to fans across Europe at its debut.

Hans Zimmer, Kara Talve (Tinsel Town, Plusaversary), and Anze Rozman told HBO Max that “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. 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, the musical visionary behind the Dune series and Interstellar, has influenced every corner of modern media, amassing more than 500 credits and nearly 30 billion dollars in box office revenue. The multi-award winner–whose accolades span the Academy Awards, Grammys, and Tonys–recently scored the Apple Original F1: The Movie, which now stands as the most successful sports film in history. Zimmer continues to bridge the gap between cinema and live performance as he prepares to finish his 2026 European concert tour, according to HBO Max.

Built on the idea that extraordinary music comes from artistic generosity and a spirit of adventure, Bleeding Fingers Music is a powerhouse collection of diverse composers. HBO Max says the Emmy-winning group, co-founded by Hans Zimmer, specializes in creating original scores that push the boundaries of modern media. With a state-of-the-art infrastructure featuring 25 studios, the team is dedicated to challenging the status quo in every project they undertake.
