 The new cast of Harry, Ron and Hermione in the TV version of “Harry Potter” directed by Max (formerly HBO) has been revealed. Even the new faces of some Hogwarts professors and the Dark Lord Voldemort have appeared. What is the truth?

One of the most anticipated series since its inception is undoubtedly the Harry Potter TV series by Max (formerly HBO). The reboot of JK Rowling ‘s magical wizarding world is expected to last for 7 seasons, following the content of the 7-book series as closely as possible. This makes Harry Potter fans extremely excited, because although the 8 movie parts are attractive, with limited time, the content from the original novel must still be trimmed.

The two child actors are said to be the TV version’s Ron and Hermione.

However, this list of actors is false. In fact, Max has just begun the journey to find the main actor for the Harry Potter TV version through an open casting call that began in September. In the casting criteria, it is also clear that the selection of child actors between the ages of 9 and 11 in April 2025, who are residents of the United Kingdom and Ireland. This shows that Toby Woolf does not fit the criteria for choosing an actor for the role of Harry Potter, because he is 15 years old. The deadline for receiving applications is October 31, and then Max will have a careful selection process before officially announcing.

Currently, the Harry Potter TV project is being kept strictly confidential by Max. Based on the information on the casting notice, filming is expected to begin around April 2025. The first season of the Harry Potter TV series is expected to premiere in 2026.

Some comments from netizens :

“I’m glad it’s fake news. I think I was expecting more from the Harry Potter TV series .”

“I think Jared Harris should play Dumbledore. His father played the first Dumbledore, and he has become a great actor himself over the past decade. A lot of people would love to see him follow in his father’s footsteps and play this beloved character.”

“Adam Driver was fantastic as Snape. Fans have wanted him to play young Snape for years.”

“Personally, I think Jamie Campbell Bower would be a great Voldemort. I don’t know why, but hearing his voice in Stranger Things made me think that.”

“With a slow and creepy approach like what he did in Stranger Things, maybe Jamie Campbell Bower would be fine as the charming Tom Riddle.”

“If the film crew wants to ask the audience, I would like to ask for one vote for Ed Skrein as young Grindelwald.”

“The trio of wizards should be three unknown British kids, like when Daniel – Rupert and Emma started with the Harry Potter movie version to bring a completely new breeze.”
