Are you ready to return to Hogwarts? HBO has officially cast the three young actors who will play Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger in its upcoming Harry Potter TV series.
After a massive open casting call with 30,000+ auditions, the roles have gone to Dominic McLaughlin (Harry), Arabella Stanton (Hermione), and Alastair Stout (Ron). The series promises to be a faithful adaptation of J.K. Rowling books, with more time to explore the magical world than the movies did.
The three young leads are relative newcomers, much like Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint were when they first starred in the Harry Potter films.
HBO has also announced A-list actors playing key Hogwarts staff:
Character | Actor | Known For |
Albus Dumbledore | John Lithgow | The Crown, Dexter |
Minerva McGonagall | Janet McTeer | The White Queen, Ozark |
Severus Snape | Paapa Essiedu | I May Destroy You |
Rubeus Hagrid | Nick Frost | Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz |
Quirinus Quirrell | Luke Thallon | Leopoldstadt (West End play) |
Argus Filch | Paul Whitehouse | The Fast Show (UK comedy) |
This mix of Oscar nominees, comedy stars, and theater actors suggests HBO is aiming for both serious drama and lighthearted fun.
Since the Harry Potter films had to cut many book scenes, the HBO series will expand the story with:
More book-accurate details (like Peeves the Poltergeist, who was cut from the films).
Deeper character arcs (Ron humor, Hermione activism, Harry trauma).
Longer runtime (each season may cover one book, with 8–10 episodes).
Showrunner Francesca Gardiner (who worked on Killing Eve) promises a “faithful but fresh” take.
J.K. Rowling is an executive producer, but her comments on transgender issues have sparked debate. HBO has clarified:
“The show is about the books, not her personal views.”
A: No confirmation yet, but some (like Tom Felton) have shown interest in cameos.
A: Around 11–12, similar to the original trio in Philosopher Stone.
A: Yes! HBO calls it a “faithful adaptation“, with more book scenes than the films.
A: It will stream on Max (HBO Max) worldwide.
The Harry Potter TV series is one of the most anticipated shows ever, and with a talented young cast and experienced crew, it could be
