There are popular franchises, and then there's Harry Potter. The Wizarding World is a sensation that has spanned books, video games, stage plays, theme parks, and (of course) the Harry Potter movies. Those titles are some of the best book to screen adaptations ever, but hardcore fans are eager to see the novels become extra fleshed out in the developing live-action TV series. The cast has slowly been coming together, and now we've gotten a photo of the new Ron, Harry, and Hermione together.
What we know about the Harry Potter TV show has been limited, but a number of casting announcement have come over the last few months. While it was exciting to learn Lohn Lithgow will play Dumbledore, fans have been wondering about our three heroes. Now we know Dominic McLaughlin will play Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton will play Hermione Granger, and Alastair Stout will play Ron Weasley. Check out the trio together below:
The Wizarding World's three primary heroes are officially cast, and they look pretty perfect for their roles. The Harry Potter movie cast grew up before our eyes, and we'll get the same privilege with this trio of young actors. Author J.K. Rowling writes about these characters' hair at great length, and they all certainly look accurate to the books.
Max: Plans start from $9.99 a monthThe Harry Potter franchise is streaming on Max, which will be the home of the TV series. Pay $9.99 a month for its With Ads plan, and with three tiers available following a Max subscription. View Deal
Fans might note that Hermione actress Arabella Stanton is an actress of color, standing in juxtaposition to Emma Watson. Hermione's race is never explicitly mentioned in the Potter books, as much as she's supposed to have curly hair. There was some backlash when Black actress Noma Dumezweni was cast in the role for Cursed Child's Broadway and West End productions, with Rowling coming to her defense.
It should be fascinating to see what this young trio of actors brings to their roles in the Harry Potter TV show... especially considering how passionate the generations of Wizarding World fans are. They've got some big shoes to fill, but expanding each book into a full season of television should allow for them to flesh out unique takes on Harry, Ron and Hermione.
Just like the film series, we're getting relative unknown for this trio, who will be acting along acclaimed actors in the adult roles. Although to be fair, Stanton has been working on the West End. This trio will be joining previously announced actors like Jon Lithgow and rumored ones like Ted Lasso's Brett Goldstein. Fans are wondering if the OG cast might be back as different roles, although Daniel Radcliffe has seemingly put the kibosh on that himself.
The Harry Potter TV show isn't part of the 2025 TV premiere list, but that's not stopping anticipation from steadily building. Hopefully we get more information about this highly anticipated project sooner rather than later.

‘And Just Like That …' Season 3, Episode 4 Recap: Guilty
Season 3, Episode 4: 'Apples to Apples' Is it time for all of us to face the very real possibility that Aidan is a narcissist? For the second time in their yearslong love affair, Aidan has lured Carrie to the countryside. In 'Sex and the City' Season 4, Aidan finds a backwoods cabin in the unfortunately named Suffern, N.Y., and all but forces Carrie to spend weekends up there with him and a domestic terrorist squirrel. This time, though, Carrie is in Virginia with Aidan, not so much against her will. In last week's episode, Carrie eagerly showed up down south to deliver Aidan a key to 'their' (insert eye-roll emoji) Gramercy palace, and then Aidan asked her to stay. Why, exactly, does he do that? Carrie asks Aidan that very question toward the end of this episode. There is only one correct answer, and it goes something like: 'Because you're the love of my life. I miss you, and I wish we could be together all the time, and I just wanted to feel that for at least a few days.' But Aidan tells Carrie nothing of the sort. He says simply, 'I felt guilty because you came all the way down here, and if I couldn't ask you to stay, what does that say about us?' Here is what I think: I think that response solidifies for viewers that Aidan is a deeply selfish, stubborn, manipulative jerk who is dead-set on making everyone close to him bend to his will. For starters, Aidan has successfully maneuvered his way into getting what he wants out of Carrie in this most recent iteration of their relationship. In 'And Just Like That …' Season 2, he refused to set foot in Carrie's house — a melodramatic boundary rooted in old cheating wounds Carrie had apologized for time and again. But then Carrie went and sold it and bought the Gramercy townhouse that he all but refuses, essentially, to set foot in today. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
