HBO’s Harry Potter TV series producers cast Harry, Ron and Hermione roles
A trio of young faces will take over the roles first played by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint; one has acted in the West End
The spell has been cast, and so too have Harry, Ron and Hermione in HBO’s new Harry Potter series.
Dominic McLaughlin will sport the lightning bolt scar as the titular chosen wizard, while Arabella Stanton – who recently starred as Matilda in the West End’s production of Matilda: The Musical – and Alastair Stout will round out the trio as Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, respectively, Variety magazine reports.
“The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to behold, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic together on-screen,” showrunner Francesca Gardiner and director-executive producer Mark Mylod said. “We would like to thank all the tens of thousands of children who auditioned.”
Variety reports that over 30,000 hopefuls tossed their sorting hats in the ring since the autumn.
