Anton Lesser (right) cast in new Harry Potter TV series, Entertainment News
Anton Lesser has been cast in the new Harry Potter TV series. Warner Bros has confirmed the Game of Thrones actor — who portrayed Qyburn in the fantasy series — will play wandmaker and Ollivanders wand shop owner Garrick Ollivander in the new HBO series. John Hurt — who passed away in 2017 aged 77 — took on the role in the Harry Potter movies. Other new cast members include Rory Wilmot as Neville Longbottom, Amos Kitson as Dudley Dursley, and Louise Brealey as Madam Rolanda Hooch. Production has started at Warner Bros Studios in Leavesden, Hertfordshire, on HBO's Harry Potter series, which will debut in 2027 on HBO and HBO Max. The latest casting comes after Harry Potter added nine stars to the series — which will be a faithful adaptation of the beloved Harry Potter books by author and executive producer J.K. Rowling — last month. Rivals actress Katherine Parkinson joined the show as Molly Weasley, and Dalgliesh star Bertie Carvel will portray Cornelius Fudge. What's more, Lox Pratt and Johnny Flynn will take on the roles of Draco Malfoy and Lucius Malfoy respectively, and Bel Powley and Daniel Rigby will portray Petunia and Vernon Dursley. Newcomers Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton and Alastair Stout will play the main characters Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. [embed] Francesca Gardiner — showrunner and executive producer — and fellow exec producer Mark Mylod said: "After an extraordinary search led by casting directors Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockmann, we are delighted to announce we have found our Harry, Hermione and Ron. "The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to behold, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic together onscreen. "We would like to thank all the tens of thousands of children who auditioned. It's been a real pleasure to discover the plethora of young talent out there." John Lithgow (Albus Dumbledore), Janet McTeer (Minerva McGonagall), Paapa Essiedu (Severus Snape), and Nick Frost (Rubeus Hagrid) will be series regulars, and other recurring cast members include Luke Thallon (Quirinus Quirrell) and Paul Whitehouse (Argus Filch).

Severance leads Emmy nominees with 27 and The Studio tops comedies as Apple TV+ dominates
Severance separated itself from the field with 27 Emmy nominations on Tuesday (Jul 15), while The Studio led comedy nominees with a record-tying 23 in a dominant year for Apple TV+. No other dramas came close to the dystopian workplace series Severance, which achieved a convergence of acclaim and audience buzz for its second season that brought an expected Emmy bounty. 'It's been the best kind of morning,' Apple TV+ head of programming Matt Cherniss told The Associated Press. Lead acting nominations came for Severance stars Adam Scott and Britt Lower for what amounted to dual roles as their characters' 'innie' work selves and 'outie' home selves. Tramell Tillman got a supporting nod for playing their tone-shifting, pineapple-wielding supervisor. Patricia Arquette was nominated for supporting actress for playing an ousted outcast from the sinister family business at the centre of the show. And Ben Stiller got a nomination for directing the Season 2 finale. Apple's Hollywood satire The Studio was expected to make a significant showing for its first season, but it romped over more established shows like Hacks, which got 14, and The Bear, which got 13. And The Studio tied a record set by The Bear last year when it also got 23 nominations, the most ever for a comedy. Seth Rogen, who co-created The Studio with longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg, personally got three nominations – for acting, writing and directing. Rogen told the AP that 'my ego is in shock' and called the raft of nominations "very validating in a way that I'm not used to being validated'. His show's A-list roster of guest stars brought in a bounty, with nominations for Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, Bryan Cranston, Anthony Mackie, Dave Franco and Zoe Kravitz. The men made for five of the six nominees in the guest actor in a comedy category. The Penguin, HBO's dark drama from the Batman universe, was also surprisingly dominant in the limited series category with 24 nominations, including nods for leads Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti. Netflix's acclaimed Adolescence got 13 limited series nominations, including a supporting actor nod for 15-year-old Owen Cooper, who plays a 13-year-old suspected of a killing. Many expect Cooper to become the youngest Emmy winner in more than 40 years, largely because of a breath-taking episode that is one long therapy session inside a juvenile jail. Like all Adolescence episodes, it's done in one long shot. His psychologist scene partner, Erin Doherty, was also nominated, for limited series supporting actress. 'If you just sit and listen, and let someone talk, that is such a gorgeous offering," Doherty told the AP. "I don't think we do it that often. I'm trying to take that forward.' THE WHITE LOTUS, THE PITT AND MATLOCK SCORE IN ACTING CATEGORIES HBO's high-end soap The White Lotus got its usual flowering of drama acting nominations for its Thailand-set third season, with four cast members including Carrie Coon getting supporting actress nods, and three including Walton Goggins up for supporting actor. It was second in the drama categories to Severance with 23 nominations. The Pitt, HBO Max's prestige medical procedural, got 13 nominations, including best drama and best actor for its star, ER veteran Noah Wyle. One of its nurses, Katherine LaNasa, was able to squeeze in among the women of The White Lotus for a supporting actress nod. Wyle, who was nominated five times without a win for ER, could join Scott to make best actor in a drama a two-man race, with both seeking their first Emmy. The broadcast networks have largely become Emmy non-entities in the top categories. Oscar-winner Kathy Bates was a big exception this year. She's considered a heavy favoUrite to win best actress in a drama for CBS' Matlock. She's the first person nominated in the category from a network show since 2019, and would be the first to win it since 2015. At 77, she's also the oldest ever nominee in the category. ABC's Abbott Elementary, which has kept hope alive for the networks in recent years, got six nominations including acting and writing nods for creator Quinta Brunson. HBO IS STILL KING IN OVERALL NUMBERS The Last Of Us brought in 16 nominations in drama categories for HBO to add to the elite cable and streaming giant's totals run up by The White Lotus, The Pitt and The Penguin. Bella Ramsey got a nod for best actress in a drama for The Last Of Us. Pedro Pascal was nominated for lead actor despite appearing in only about half of the season's episodes. HBO with its streaming counterpart HBO Max has been so prolific for decades in Emmy nominations that it almost felt like an off year without it having a Succession or a Game Of Thrones atop the drama category. But it definitely wasn't. It led all outlets with 142 nominations, the most it's ever gotten. Netflix followed with 120 nominations overall, including 11 for Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story and 10 for Black Mirror. Apple TV+ had 79 nominations overall. Shrinking added to its total with seven in the comedy categories, including acting nominations for Harrison Ford and Jason Segel. Andor represented Disney+ with 14 nominations. The gritty series from the Star War' galaxy is up for best drama series and a slew of technical categories. Forest Whitaker was nominated for best guest actor in a drama. He's one of several Oscar winners in the guest acting categories along with Scorsese, Howard and Jamie Lee Curtis and Olivia Colman for their performances in The Bear. Andor star Diego Luna was surprisingly omitted from the lead actor in a drama category. Other snubs included former Emmy powerhouses The Handmaid's Tale, which got just one nomination, and Squid Game, which got none. Actors Harvey Guillén and Brenda Song announced the nominations in key categories. SEVERANCE DELIVERS BIG FOR APPLE TV+ Severance has become a signature show for Apple TV+. The streamer has gotten plenty of Emmy nominations for dramas including The Morning Show and Slow Horses, and Ted Lasso thrived the comedy side. But Apple has lacked the kind of breakaway prestige drama that HBO seems to produce perennially. Severance became its most-nominated show ever and could easily become its biggest winner when the Emmys are handed out in September, reaching the upper echelons previously enjoyed by Succession and Shogun, which left room for others by taking this year off. Cherniss said Apple TV+, which has been knocked as the streamer with big stars and big budgets for shows that go unnoticed, was rewarded for taking big swings. 'Severance is such an ambitious show," he said, adding that 'all of the shows that have been nominated took big risks.' HOW STREAMING HAS CHANGED TV AND THE EMMYS All the shows are living in the splintered world of the streaming era, and like the Oscars its most acclaimed nominees rarely have the huge audience they once did. While an impressive average of 10 million people per episode watched Wyle on The Pitt on HBO Max, according to Warner Bros Discovery, 30 years ago an average of 30 million sat down and watched him on ER on NBC. The broadcast networks rotate on who airs the Emmys. This year is CBS' turn. It will air the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sep 14. Nate Bargatze is slated to host.
