HBO has hired Oscar-winning costume designer Holly Waddington for its upcoming Harry Potter series. Known for her acclaimed work on "Poor Things," Waddington is the first confirmed creative team member for the series, which will feature a new cast and is set to begin filming in 2025. The series aims to explore new depths of the Harry Potter universe, with casting for lead roles currently underway.
Costume designer Holly Waddington creates a unique blend of Victorian-era fashion with contemporary and surreal elements for the upcoming film "Poor Things." The costumes feature exaggerated silhouettes, including a standout "vagina blouse" with large puffy sleeves. Waddington incorporated light fabrics and organic details, deviating from traditional period authenticity. The color palette, influenced by sexual overtones, includes soft pinks resembling human skin and a latex "condom coat." The exhibit showcasing Waddington's work is currently open to the public in Downtown Los Angeles.
