Summary

The Harry Potter TV series has cast its main characters.
Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout are set to play Harry, Hermione, and Ron, respectively.
The HBO series still has some roles to cast between now and filming.

The actors playing the three main characters in the Harry Potter TV series have been confirmed. The Harry Potter movies are some of the most popular book-to-film adaptations of all time, and so the TV series has some big shoes to fill. However, there will be some key ways that the Harry Potter series on HBO and Max stands out from its film counterparts.

It's expected that the Harry Potter TV series will be adapting one Harry Potter book per season. And with a television format, it's quite likely that the series will be able to be an even more accurate recreation of the books. This means that Harry Potter book characters and plot elements that were left on the cutting room floor for the movies may finally see a live-action interpretation. Of course, another key way that the Harry Potter TV series will differ from the movies is through its cast.

Who is Playing Harry, Ron, and Hermione in the Harry Potter TV Series?

Harry Potter - Dominic McLaughlin
Ron Weasley - Alastair Stout
Hermione Granger - Arabella Stanton

McLaughlin, Stanton, and Stout are all basically newcomers, but well-established actors are taking on the roles of the adults in the series. John Lithgow will be playing Albus Dumbledore, Paapa Essiedu will be playing Professor Snape, Nick Frost has been cast as Hagrid, Janet McTeer has been cast as Professor McGonagall, Luke Thallon will be portraying Professor Quirrell, and Paul Whitehouse will be playing Argus Filch. The Harry Potter TV series cast is really starting to take shape, but there are still many parts that still need to be cast.

For example, many of Harry Potter's fellow Hogwarts students still haven't been cast at the time of this writing, like Gryffindor Neville Longbottom or rival Draco Malfoy from Slytherin. Some Hogwarts teacher roles and ghosts still need to be cast, as do Harry and Ron's family members. The Harry Potter TV series is expected to premiere in 2027, so fans of the Wizarding World franchise can expect plenty more information about the show and its cast in the months ahead.
