New Cast Announced for HBO's Harry Potter TV Series

HBO unveils the young actors stepping into iconic roles for its upcoming adaptation of the beloved Harry Potter franchise.


The series aims to delve deeper into the book's narrative, promising fans a fresh perspective on the magical world.

HBO has officially revealed the young actors who will portray the beloved trio of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley in its upcoming TV series adaptation of J.K. Rowling's illustrious book series. The network announced that Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout will take on these iconic roles, succeeding the original cast that gained fame in the beloved film series.

The open casting call, which attracted an impressive 30,000 children vying for the roles, has culminated in what the show's executives describe as a "wonderful" outcome. Showrunner Francesca Gardiner and executive producer Mark Mylod praised the trio's talent and expressed excitement for audiences to witness their performances on screen.

In addition to the young leads, the show has assembled a notable cast, including John Lithgow, who will portray the wise Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Key faculty members are interpreted by Janet McTeer as Professor Minerva McGonagall and Paapa Essiedu as the enigmatic Severus Snape. The series will also feature Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid and Luke Thallon as Professor Quirinus Quirrell, among others.

The chosen actors bring varying levels of experience, with Scottish actor McLaughlin recently involved in the Sky comedy "Grow" and Stanton known for her role in "Matilda: The Musical." Rowling herself will serve as an executive producer, assuring fans that the adaptation will remain faithful to the source material.

The television series is anticipated to explore the plot lines of the book in greater depth than the films, benefitting from a promised decade-long run. Production is set to commence in the summer at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in the UK, with the first season projected to debut on HBO Max as early as 2026. As more casting announcements are expected, fans eagerly await the rekindling of their magical childhood memories.
