Previously, Alastair Stout was confirmed to play Ron Weasley, Harry Potter’s best friend, while Dominic McLaughlin will step into the role of the boy who lived. Arabella Stanton has been cast as Hermione Granger.

The Weasley matriarch, Molly, will be played by Katherine Parkinson, though casting for father Arthur and eldest brother Charlie has not yet been announced.

The high-profile HBO adaptation has already revealed part of its adult cast, with Paapa Essiedu set to play potions master Severus Snape, John Lithgow as headmaster Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, and Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid.

The series is written and executive produced by Francesca Gardiner, with Mark Mylod attached to direct multiple episodes. Produced by HBO in association with Brontë Film and TV and Warner Bros. Television.

The project also lists J.K. Rowling, Neil Blair, and Ruth Kenley-Letts of Brontë Film and TV, as well as David Heyman of Heyday Films, as executive producers.
