The HBO platform announced to the main cast of its new series based on the books of the Magician Harry Potter: Dominic McLaughlin will play Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton will give life to Hermione Granger and Alastair Stout will embody Ron Weasley.
McLaughlin, Stanton and Stout were chosen among more than 30,000 children’s actors who participated in an open casting made by the platform last fall, in search of the new performers of the characters that Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint turned into icons at the beginning of this millennium.
“The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to contemplate, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic on the screen,” the executive producers of the series, Francesca Gardiner and Mark Mylod said in a joint statement.

“We want to thank the tens of thousands of children who appeared to the auditions. It has been a real pleasure to discover the plethora of young talents that are out there,” they added.
The three chosen are emerging talents that begin to make a name in the industry. McLaughlin had previously acted in the ‘Grow’ comedy, while Stanton has experience in theater as the protagonist of ‘Matilda: The Musical’.
In April, HBO confirmed to the first actors of the cast of the series, among which are John Lithgow in the role of Albus Dumbledore, Paapa Essiedu in the role of Severus Snape, Janet McTeer as Professor Minerva McGonagall and Nick Frost who will play the endearing rubeus hagrid.
The rest of the actors confirmed so far are Luke Thallon in the role of Professor Quirinus Quirrell and the five -time BAFTA Winner Paul Whitehouse as the concierge Argus Filch, according to a statement published by Warner Bros. Discovery.
