The new series will also feature Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley, with filming set to start this summer. The show promises to be a fresh retelling of the beloved story, supported by an impressive cast including John Lithgow as Dumbledore and Nick Frost as Hagrid.
Fans’ excitement is building as HBO prepares to bring the magical world back to screens, aiming for a 2026 release. Arabella’s audition video has only heightened expectations for the series, showing she’s ready to carry Hermione’s legacy into a new generation.
