HBO recently unveiled the first look of young newcomer Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter and later showed a beardy Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid.

Alongside McLaughlin as Harry Potter and Stout as Ron, Arabella Stanton stars as Hermione Granger. The young trio were selected from more than 30,000 actors who auditioned in a casting call last fall.

The main cast also includes John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, Katherine Parkinson as Molly Weasley, Lox Pratt as Draco Malfoy, Johnny Flynn as Lucius Malfoy, Leo Earley as Seamus Finnigan, Alessia Leoni as Parvati Patil, Sienna Moosah as Lavender Brown, Bertie Carvel as Cornelius Fudge, Bel Powley as Petunia Dursley and Daniel Rigby as Vernon Dursley. Additional names revealed on Monday were Rory Wilmot as Neville Longbottom, Amos Kitson as Dudley Dursley, Louise Brealey as Madam Rolanda Hooch and Anton Lesser as Garrick Ollivander.

Filming on Season 1 is expected to last until spring of 2026, with Season 2 starting production a few months later. Each of the seven “Harry Potter” books will make up an entire season.

The series will debut in 2027 on HBO and HBO Max (where available) and is led by showrunner and writer Francesca Gardiner (“His Dark Materials,” “Killing Eve”) and director Mark Mylod (“Succession”). Gardiner and Mylod are executive producing alongside series author J.K. Rowling, Neil Blair and Ruth Kenley-Letts of Brontë Film and TV, and David Heyman of Heyday Films. The “Harry Potter” series is being made by HBO in association with Brontë Film and TV and Warner Bros. Television.
