In an exciting turn of events, Dominic McLaughlin has been cast as the titular character in HBO's highly anticipated new series based on J.K. Rowling's beloved Harry Potter book series. The series, set to premiere in 2027, marks a new era for the magical world of Hogwarts.

McLaughlin was chosen after an extensive audition process involving over 30,000 actors. The filming commenced in 2025 in London, with the series aiming to be a faithful adaptation of the original books, with each season corresponding to one of the seven Harry Potter books.

While there have been no explicit comparisons to Daniel Radcliffe's appearance in the new series, McLaughlin was undoubtedly chosen for his ability to capture the essence of Harry Potter's character from the books. Unlike the movies, the HBO series will adhere closely to the characters' book ages and traits, which may result in some differences in portrayal compared to Radcliffe's version.

Joining McLaughlin in the cast are Rory Wilmot as Neville Longbottom, Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid, Lox Pratt as Draco Malfoy, Singer and actor Johnny Flynn as Lucius Malfoy, Luke Thallon as Professor Quirrell, and Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape.

Other notable cast members include Louise Brealey as Madam Rolanda Hooch, Paul Whitehouse as Argus Filch, Janet McTeer as Professor McGonagall, Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, Alastair Stout as the new Ron Weasley, and John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore.

The first image of McLaughlin as Harry Potter has already been released, sparking excitement among fans worldwide. The series will be available for streaming on HBO and HBO Max, with HBO Max making it available in Italy, the United Kingdom, and Germany.

As we eagerly await the premiere of this new series, fans can rest assured that the creators are dedicated to delivering a faithful and captivating adaptation of the Harry Potter books. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project!
