Meet HBO's new Harry, Ron, and Hermione

HBO has officially revealed the lead cast for its new Harry Potter series. Dominic McLaughlin will take on the iconic role of Harry Potter, with Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley. These young actors step into the shoes once filled by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint.

This upcoming series is a fresh adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s beloved books and promises a deeper dive into the magical world compared to the original eight-part film series. HBO shared the exciting announcement on Instagram, posting a photo of the trio together and a caption styled like a Hogwarts acceptance letter.

The caption warmly welcomed the new stars to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and introduced them as part of the HBO Original Series.

The cast also features several well-known names in key roles. John Lithgow will play the wise Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer joins as Professor McGonagall, and Paapa Essiedu steps in as Severus Snape. Nick Frost will take on the role of Hagrid, Luke Thallon appears as Professor Quirrell, and Paul Whitehouse is cast as Argus Filch.

With a mix of fresh faces and seasoned actors, HBO aims to bring a richer and more detailed version of Rowling’s wizarding world to the screen. Fans can look forward to a magical journey that stays true to the books while offering new insights into the characters and storylines.
