HBO’s Harry Potter Series Begins Diverse Casting Call for Main Trio

As a seasoned gamer and Harry Potter fanatic who has spent countless hours immersed in the magical world of J.K. Rowling, I can’t help but feel both excitement and a tinge of nostalgia at the news of HBO’s upcoming series. The thought of a new generation bringing Harry, Hermione, and Ron to life is as exhilarating as a Quidditch match at the height of the World Cup!


Warner Bros. Television has announced a significant development regarding HBO’s eagerly awaited Harry Potter series. They have commenced the hunt for the next talented young actors to portray the fresh versions of Harry, Hermione, and Ron in the upcoming installment of the franchise.

The open audition is seeking kids who are residents of the UK or Ireland, with the project set to begin production around April 2025. Actors needed should be between 9 and 11 years old by this date, as they will step into the roles previously held by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, who were also cast at a young age for the popular movie series.

The casting notice emphasized our dedication to a diverse and inclusive process. When submitting candidates for each role, we request that you consider applicants regardless of their ethnicity, sex, physical ability, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other factor protected by law, unless otherwise specified.

Who is involved in the Harry Potter series?

According to J.K. Rowling’s famous book collection, the television series adaptation is being penned by Emmy-winning writer Francesca Gardiner (of Killing Eve and Succession fame). The series will be overseen by Gardiner, Mark Mylod, Rowling, Neil Blair, Ruth Kenley-Letts, and longtime Harry Potter series producer David Heyman. Notably, Mylod, who has collaborated with HBO on Game of Thrones and The Last of Us, will also direct several episodes. The production company for this project is a collaboration between HBO, Brontë Film and TV, and Warner Bros. Television.

For approximately ten years, the Harry Potter series has been referred to as a long-term undertaking, where each season aims to bring to life one of J.K. Rowling’s renowned novels from the series. This implies adaptations for The Philosopher’s Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince, and Deathly Hallows.
