Main leads in Harry Potter TV series (HBO Instagram account)
The Harry Potter franchise has been a part of every 90s and early 2000s kids’ hearts. The first movie, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, was released in 2001. After more than two decades, the new TV adaptation of the series is set to hit the screen sometime in 2026. This adaptation takes a deeper look at Rowling’s world which is memorable for all the fans.
While all the fans love the original cast, the franchise casts new faces for the present generation to remember. HBO has unveiled the names of the new members who are to step into the shoes of the beloved characters. Earlier, it revealed the names of those going to play Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The search of the casting directors, Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockmann, led to finding Dominic McLaughlin, Alastair Stout and Arabella Stanton as the aforementioned roles respectively.

While there is an enthusiasm to experience the world of wizardry again, the Potterheads are skeptic on how the new actors would ace their respective roles. They are looking forward to be a part of a new take on the world of witchcraft and wizardry.
