Who is Arabella Stanton? Actor to play Hermione in new Harry Potter series
The magic of Harry Potter is set to return to screens, and with it comes a new cast ready to step into the iconic roles. Arabella Stanton, a young British actor known for her impressive performance in Matilda: The Musical on the West End, has been officially cast as Hermione Granger in HBO's upcoming Harry Potter TV adaptation. The news was confirmed by HBO and showrunner Francesca Gardiner following an extensive casting search. Stanton joins a fresh trio of talent, marking a new era for the beloved wizarding world. Arabella Stanton's theatrical roots Arabella Stanton may be new to the wizarding world, but she's no stranger to the stage. She gained acclaim for her portrayal of Matilda in Matilda: The Musical from 2023 to 2024, where her strong stage presence and emotional depth won over audiences and critics alike. Stanton's background in musical theatre and live performance brings a unique strength to the complex role of Hermione Granger—a character known for her intelligence, loyalty, and courage. Harry Potter's new golden trio: Fresh faces for a timeless tale Joining Stanton are Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley. McLaughlin has earned attention for his role in the upcoming Sky comedy Grow, while Stout is a rising star in the UK's youth theatre scene. More than 30,000 young actors auditioned globally for the coveted roles, making the final casting announcement highly anticipated by fans. According to Gardiner and executive producer Mark Mylod, the three actors stood out for their natural chemistry and individual talent. 'We cannot wait for the world to witness their magic together onscreen,' said Mylod in an official statement. A mix of youth and seasoned talent While the series will focus on younger characters, the supporting cast brings in well-known names from film and television. John Lithgow has been cast as Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer will play Professor McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu takes on the role of Severus Snape, and Nick Frost joins as Hagrid. This blend of young and veteran performers aims to deliver a fresh yet faithful interpretation of J.K. Rowling 's original characters. A faithful adaptation, says HBO The series is being described as a 'faithful adaptation' of the Harry Potter book series, rather than a continuation or reboot of the original films. Each season will reportedly focus on one book, offering more screen time to beloved subplots and character arcs that the films had to trim. With Gardiner writing and serving as showrunner, and Mylod directing several episodes, HBO aims to create a rich, layered reimagining of the wizarding world. Rowling's role and creative direction J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, is on board as an executive producer. While her involvement has sparked public conversation, HBO has clarified that the show will not be shaped by political or social controversies. Instead, the focus remains on bringing the original books to life in greater detail, with modern storytelling techniques and high production values. Filming is expected to begin later this year, with a release date yet to be officially announced. The series will stream exclusively on HBO Max. With a cast that blends promising young talent and seasoned performers, fans can expect a bold new take on the world of Hogwarts, one that stays true to the books while exploring new creative territory.

‘Papa is my Superman': Suryakumar Yadav mixes love, laughs, and life lessons in heartfelt farewell speech for his father
Suryakumar Yadav, India's T20I captain and Mumbai Indians' top fantasy scorer in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League, is going viral — but not for another match-winning knock. This time, it's a heartfelt moment off the field. His father, Ashok Kumar Yadav, recently retired after a long and distinguished career as a scientist at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC). At the retirement ceremony, the cricketer delivered an emotional speech that's now touching hearts across social media. Suryakumar Yadav's emotional tribute to father at BARC retirement wins hearts Looking dashing in a formal shirt and trousers, Suryakumar Yadav looked visibly emotional as he celebrated a special milestone in his father's life. Despite the whirlwind pace of IPL 2025 and his role as one of Mumbai Indians' key players, the dynamic batter made it a point to be there for his father's big day. In true SKY style, Suryakumar Yadav's speech was the perfect mix of heart and humour. Speaking for the whole family—including his mom, sister, and wife Devisha—he promised his dad that retirement wasn't the end, just the start of his 'second innings' at home, filled with love, laughter, and maybe a few surprise serenades. 'They were playing some beautiful videos on the screen. I didn't even know he could sing so well! I've never seen him sing,' he said, lightheartedly. 'But clearly, when my sister and I weren't around, he must've sung some lovely songs for my mother.' He added, 'Now you've got all the time in the world to entertain Mum. They say every beautiful journey must come to an end. Yours has been nothing short of a fairytale. And though this chapter is ending, I promise—we'll do our best to make your second innings just as magical.' 'Papa is my Superman': SKY's emotional tribute to his father He didn't hold back when talking about the man behind his success. Reflecting on his cricketing journey, he credited his father, as his real-life superhero. "There's always that one figure who shows you how to live, learn, and never give up. For me, that's my papa," said Suryakumar. "He packed my tiffin, dropped me off at school to keep me from bunking, and even came to college to make sure I didn't scale the walls and vanish. He's been there—always."

That, he said, is something he tries to model in his own high-pressure career. "No matter how his day went, he never let it show at home. That balance is something I deeply respect and try to follow," he shared. "My mother, who has been his constant support, finally gets him all to herself. I just want to say one thing: Aao, let's go back home," he concluded. 'You've knocked it out of the park': SKY's farewell note to his father On Wednesday, May 28, Suryakumar Yadav shared a heartfelt note and photos from the farewell ceremony, celebrating his father's remarkable journey. He wrote, 'To my first and forever hero, role model, life manual, and guide… one important innings comes to an end, and as always, you've knocked it out of the park in every role you played.' Calling him 'a simple man who left no stone unturned to give us an extraordinary life,' Suryakumar added, 'Today, let us tell you just how proud we are of you and everything you've achieved. Time to gear up for your next innings, Dad — this one's going to be a bit more relaxed.' Meanwhile, on the cricket front, Suryakumar Yadav is set to return to action for Mumbai Indians in their upcoming match, the eliminator, against Gujarat Titans on June 1.
