After 14 years, we have a new Harry Potter, as HBO have confirmed who will be playing the iconic trio of Harry and his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.

The HBO show will be a retelling of the Harry Potter books, with the show runner Francesca Gardiner being brought over from being a producer on Succession.

She will be joined by Mark Mylod, who will be directing many of the episodes, and was also a major part of the hit HBO show alongside Gardiner.

The TV show have been promised to be a more accurate depiction of the books, with the longer screen time allowing aspects that were cut from the movies to be included.

Hermione will be played by Arabella Stanton, Ron will be played by Alastair Stout, and the titular lead role will be played in the series by Dominic McLaughlin.

Mylod and Gardiner said in a statement provided by HBO Max: “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.”

Many of the adult cast have already been confirmed ahead of the show’s reboot.

The first news to break confirmed that Paapa Essiedu will be playing the potions professor Severus Snape.

Two other major roles were revealed previously, and they're likely to share a great deal of scenes with the main trio. Janet McTeer will star as McGonagall, with Nick Frost set to play gruff groundskeeper Hagrid.

Perhaps the most major casting yet is John Lithgow, who will be appearing as Albus Dumbledore.

Lithgow poignantly said in an interview of taking the role: “It was not an easy decision because it's going to define me for the last chapter of my life, I'm afraid. But I'm very excited.”

The other roles confirmed for the show is Quirell, who will be played by Luke Thallon, and Paul Whitehouse, who will be playing Argus Filch.
