HBO has revealed the three new young actors who will play the much coveted lead roles in the new Harry Potter television series, one of the most eagerly anticipated for years.

After a long, extraordinary worldwide search for British children aged between 9 and 11, Dominic McLaughlin has been cast as Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton will be Hermione Granger and Alastair Stout is Ron Weasley.

The trio are at the very start of their careers with only Stanton registering a significant acting credit having played the lead in ‘Matilda: The Musical’ on London’s West End.

In a statement by Warner Bros Discovery, showrunner and executive producer Francesca Gardiner and director executive producer Mark Mylod said: “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.”
