Three young actors with new faces will bring Harry Potter back to life, the newest series to be produced by HBO.
HBO revealed the series' golden trio: Dominic McLaughlin will be Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton will play Hermione Granger, and Alastair Stout will be Ron Weasley, according to reports from Variety.
More than 30,000 kids applied for these life-changing roles after HBO announced the series last fall. Filming on the series will begin this summer.
"The talent of these three exceptional actors is a marvel to behold and we can't wait for the world to experience their magic on screen. Our heartfelt thanks to all the tens of thousands of children who auditioned - it's been a pleasure to discover how much new talent there is," said cast representatives.
Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint became part of cinema history through their portrayal of these roles in the Harry Potter films.
HBO has previously stated that the series will be a "faithful adaptation" of the bestselling books and is expected to air on HBO Max, possibly as early as 2026.
The series is based on the iconic books written by JK Rowling, which have sold millions of copies worldwide and influenced generations of readers. In this new version, HBO aims to bring more details that were not fully covered in the films.
