Harry Potter HBO Series Announces Three Lead Child Stars

The Harry Potter HBO series announces the three lead child stars that will play Harry, Hermione and Ron in the new adaptation. Most of the main adult cast had already been announced, however not the three key roles in the series. Understandable given the ages of the actors being looked at. Also, the extensive open casting process, that went on for some time.

You can see the new trio in the image below, all information here is courtesy of Deadline.

‘Newcomers Dominic McLaughlin, Alastair Stout and Arabella Stanton have been cast as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. They will play the starring roles in a TV epic that will span at least a decade. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint did the same for the hit blockbuster movies.’

‘Showrunner Francesca Gardiner and director Mark Mylod said: “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.”’

‘A whopping 32,000 kids had auditioned for what are undoubtedly three of the biggest TV roles of the coming decade.’

‘McLaughlin, Stanton and Stout will now prepare for cameras to roll, which will happen this summer at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden with the first season set to air in 2026.’

Good luck to them is all I will say. The previous trio will tell you how difficult something like this is for young people of that age. I hope these three experience less of the ugly side of filmmaking than the OG’s did, but what’s the chances?

All three look the part, but of course, the proof will be in the potion, as they say in Hogwarts.

The main cast is now rounded out. However, we do have a few decent roles still to be announced. The Dursley’s for one, who we know should show up at almost the beginning of every season. There’s also some of the teachers that feature less page time, and many of the secondary child actors to be announced. Draco, Neville, etc.
