Chris Columbus reacted negatively after seeing images of Nick Frost as Hagrid wearing the same Hagrid costume Columbus's team designed. Columbus noted that the costumes and overall look appeared similar to the original films and questioned the point of the reboot-style choices. Columbus described feeling a sense of déjà vu while also saying he was flattered that the series did not try to improve the original costuming. Columbus emphasized a lack of jealousy, stated he has moved past his involvement, and awaits the show's eventual approach. The HBO reboot casts new actors and is slated for a 2027 premiere with J.K. Rowling as an executive producer.
He's wearing the exact same costume that we designed for Hagrid,
Part of me was like: 'What's the point?' I thought everything [on the HBO show] the costumes and everything was going to be different. It's more of the same.
I'm excited to see what they're going to do with it,
I'm so beyond it. I did it. I've done that, it's time to move on.
