HBO has revealed their new Golden Trio — Harry, Ron, and Hermione — for the “Harry Potter” TV series.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione Actors
Dominic McLaughlin will play Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton will be Hermione Granger, and Alastair Stout will be Ron Weasley.
HBO held an open casting call for the lead characters, auditioning more than 30,000 actors.
Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint originally played the characters in the Warner Bros. film series.
Francesca Gardiner (showrunner, executive producer) and Mark Mylod (director of multiple episodes, executive producer) said of the casting, “After an extraordinary search led by casting directors Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockmann, we are delighted to announce we have found our Harry, Hermione, and Ron. The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to behold, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic together onscreen. We would like to thank all the tens of thousands of children who auditioned. It’s been a real pleasure to discover the plethora of young talent out there.”
Previously announced cast members include John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid, Luke Thallon as Quirinus Quirrell, and Paul Whitehouse as Argus Filch.
The series will be a decade-long, seven-season “faithful” adaptation of the “Harry Potter” book series by J.K. Rowling. Filming will begin this summer, and it will premiere in late 2026 or early 2027.
