A brand-new “Harry Potter” TV series is on the way, and HBO has officially revealed the young actors playing the iconic trio. Dominic McLaughlin will star as Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley.
Chosen from over 30,000 auditions, these rising stars impressed the casting team with their talent and charm. McLaughlin appears in the upcoming Sky comedy “Grow,” while Stanton played Matilda in London’s “Matilda the Musical.” Stout is making his screen debut.
The series will closely follow J.K. Rowling’s seven original books, each season dedicated to one book. This format promises to include more story details than the original films. Filming begins in the United Kingdom, and the first season will likely premiere in 2026.
Joining the young cast are well-known actors, including John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid, Luke Thallon as Quirinus Quirrell, and Paul Whitehouse as Argus Filch. Additional casting announcements are expected soon.
J.K. Rowling will serve as an executive producer. While her involvement has sparked some debate due to her past comments, HBO emphasizes that the series will focus on the magical world that fans know and love.
With a fresh cast and a promise to stay true to the books, the new “Harry Potter” series aims to reintroduce the wizarding world to a new generation. The magic, it seems, is ready to return.
