Frost collaborated on the post and also shared the photo to his Instagram story, where he added three heart-eye emoji above the photo.

HBO previously posted a first-look photo of Dominic McLaughlin in costume as Harry Potter on Monday.

The photo was shared to celebrate cameras officially rolling on the series, as it started production at the Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, England, the same location where all eight of the "Harry Potter" films were made.
