HBO's Shocking Step After Announcing New Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ronald Weasley
The new Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley are here! HBO has officially announced the cast of the upcoming Harry Potter series. While Dominic McLaughlin will play the role of Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton is Hermione Granger and Alastair Stout is Ron Weasley.
The shooting of the Harry Potter series is likely to begin later this year.
'Dear Mr. Potter, Miss Granger, and Mr. Weasley: We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please welcome Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley to the HBO Original Series Harry Potter," HBO wrote while introducing the new actors. However, to keep the negativity away, the television service turned off the comments section on its Instagram post.
Interestingly, more than 30,000 actors had auditioned for the lead roles of Harry Potter series.
Harry Potter series showrunner Francesca Gardiner and executive producer and director Mark Mylod also issued a statement after announcing the new child actors. '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," the statement read.
Why Did HBO Turn Off The Comments Section While Announcing The New Harry Potter Cast?
Harry Potter remains one of the most popular film franchises and is widely loved by all around the world. The original Harry Potter films launched Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint and made them a global sensation. Therefore, it would not be easy for the audience to accept new actors as the Harry Potter cast.

Or at least that's the impression the video gives. The rumor that she was arrested for supposedly trying to film an OnlyFans video in public. However, on noticing carefully, one sees many inconsistencies with the video. First up, the police have only 'Police' retained on the uniform, without any mention of the department. There are also no arrest records in Miami showing that the influencer was taken in. Besides, Reynolds is known for pulling off elaborate pranks on social media. As a result, it is likely that the video is also one such prank. Here's the video: Who is Natalie Reynolds? Another rumor that has simultaneously gone viral on social media claims that Natalie Reynolds is the daughter of Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds. However, that rumor is as baseless as it gets, as Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have four daughters, James, Inez, Betty, and Olan. Also read: Who is Tatiana Martinez?

Last Updated: Fatima Sana Shaikh stuns in a sultry photoshoot donning a black bralette and unbuttoned jeans. Bollywood actress Fatima Sana Shaikh has set social media ablaze with her latest photoshoot, where she channels an effortlessly bold and chic vibe. Known for her versatile performances and striking screen presence, Fatima showcased a different side of her personality in these stylish frames, leaving fans mesmerised. Fatima's sultry photoshoot look In the pictures, Fatima is seen sporting a classic black Calvin Klein bralette paired with relaxed-fit, unbuttoned denim jeans.

The casual yet daring styling brings out a balance of boldness and simplicity that reflects Fatima's off-screen personality. Speaking up against stereotypes Alongside her photoshoot buzz, Fatima opened up during her Filmfare interview about how female roles in Bollywood are often stereotyped. After her breakthrough role in Dangal, she revealed being offered several 'empowered" roles, but most carried the cliché of aggressive women who 'hate men." 'When people think of strong women, they think of aggressive women. I don't know why! Just because we know what we want and we voice for equality does not mean we will fight with men, or we want to fight, or we want to smoke a cigarette. The idea is very stereotypical," Fatima explained. She added that empowerment should not always be portrayed through aggression, but through authenticity, intelligence, and individuality.
