Disney4me Posted yesterday at 06:41 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:41 PM Big news for Harry Potter fans! We found out who’s going to play the next Harry, Ron, and Hermione. ©Deadline HBO is making a new Harry Potter series that will retell the story of Harry Potter and his friends and will be “authentic to the original books and bring Harry Potter and these incredible adventures to new audiences around the world, while the original, classic and beloved films will remain at the core of the franchise,” according to HBO. After an open casting call for British children ages 9 to 11, the new stars have officially been announced for the series. Dominic McLaughlin will be playing Harry Potter, Alastair Stout will be Ron Weasley, and Arabella Stanton will be Hermione Granger. ©HBO Thousands of kids auditioned for the roles, but in the end, three were selected to enter the Wizarding World for the series. Other actors have already been announced, such as John Lithgow, who will play Albus Dumbledore, and Paapa Essiedu, who will be Severus Snape. The show producers say the series will be “full of the fantastic detail, much-loved characters, and dramatic locations that Harry Potter fans have loved for over 25 years.” ©HBO The series is set to debut on HBO in 2026, about 30 years after “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” hit the shelves in 1997 and 15 years after The Deathly Hallows Part 2 played in theaters.
