The actors who were cast for the lead roles in the upcoming "Harry Potter" series were revealed Tuesday. Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton and Alastair Stout will play Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, respectively, HBO announced.
The three actors will be the new faces of the young wizards who first cast a spell over readers around the world nearly 30 years ago with the release of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in 1997.
The upcoming streaming series on HBO Max follows the seven popular books, each of which were turned into movies starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.
