Harry Potter: Cast List for HBO TV Adaptation
HBO’s Harry Potter reboot is creating buzz among fans as casting news rolls in and production kicks off. The TV adaptation of the beloved book series by J.K. Rowling was confirmed by HBO Max in 2023, promising to stay true to the magical world we all know and love.
Set to span a decade, each season will follow one of the seven iconic Harry Potter books, starting with Harry’s journey as he discovers his magical abilities and battles the dark wizard Voldemort. Filming has begun at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in Hertfordshire, with the show slated to premiere in 2027.
While the HBO series will stay faithful to the books, there will be a few differences from the original movies. Characters will reflect their ages in the books, meaning Snape will be younger at 31, and the Dursleys will also be closer to their book ages.
As for familiar faces from the film series, it’s unclear if any cast members will return. However, Daniel Radcliffe, who famously portrayed Harry Potter, has shared his excitement as a viewer. Here’s a look at the cast of the upcoming Harry Potter series:
– Harry Potter will be played by Dominic McLaughlin
