The new cast playing the trio Harry, Ron and Hermione in the TV version of “Harry Potter” directed by Max (formerly HBO) has been revealed. Even the new faces of some Hogwarts professors and the Dark Lord Voldemort have appeared. What’s the truth?

One of the film series that has received the most attention since its inception is definitely Max’s television version of Harry Potter (formerly HBO). The magical wizarding world of J.K. Rowling’s reboot is expected to last for 7 seasons, following the content of the 7-episode series as closely as possible. This makes Harry Potter fans extremely excited, because although the 8 movie parts are attractive, with limited time, they still have to trim content from the original novel.

The famous trio of Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger. No matter how well the trio fit their roles and are loved, they cannot return to play the characters that made them famous. Of course, Max will have to find new child actors for his version of Harry Potter.

Recently, information spread on social networks that the TV version of Harry Potter has found a new cast. Accordingly, Toby Woolf (Pistol) will take on the role of Harry Potter, Joshua Pickering (Peter Pan & Wendy) as Ron Weasley, and Bronte Carmichael (Christopher Robin) as Hermione Granger.

Jamie Campbell Bower played Grindelwald as a teenager.

Rumors also say that Jamie Campbell Bower will take on the role of Dark Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter TV version. He is said to have a connection with Harry Potter when he played the teenage role of the dark wizard Grindelwald in Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010). Jamie Campbell Bower is also very suitable for the villain role when transforming into Vecna ​​in Stranger Things 4.

Adam Driver is said to be suitable for the role of Professor Severus Snape.

A number of other actors are also said to have been “closed” for the position of Professor at Hogwarts such as: Peter Capaldi as Albus Dumbledore, Lesley Manville as Minerva McGonagall, Adam Driver as Severus Snape, Angus Imrie as Quirinus Quirrell…

The two child actors are said to be Ron and Hermione from the TV version.

However, this list of actors is false. In fact, Max has just begun the journey of finding the main actor for the Harry Potter TV version through an open casting call starting in September. In particular, the casting criteria also clearly state which actors will be selected. Children aged 9 to 11 in April 2025, residents of the UK and Ireland. This shows that Toby Woolf does not fit the criteria for choosing an actor for the role of Harry Potter, because he is 15 years old. The deadline to receive applications is October 31, and then Max will have a carefully selected journey before the official announcement.

Currently, the TV version of the Harry Potter project is kept absolutely confidential by Max. Based on the information on the casting announcement, filming is expected to begin around April 2025. The first season of Harry Potter TV version is expected to premiere in 2026.

Some comments from netizens:

“I’m glad it’s fake news. I think I expected more from the TV version of Harry Potter.”

“I think Jared Harris should play Dumbledore. His father played Dumbledore first, and he himself has become a great actor over the past decade. Many viewers will want to see him follow in his father’s footsteps to play this beloved character.”

“Adam Driver is great as Snape. Fans have wanted him to play young Snape for years.”

“Personally, I think Jamie Campbell Bower would be a great Voldemort. I don’t know why I thought like that when I heard his voice reading in Stranger Things.”

“With a slow and scary approach like the one taken in Stranger Things, maybe Jamie Campbell Bower would be fine as the charming Tom Riddle.”

“If the film crew wants to consult with the audience, I would like to vote for Ed Skrein to play young Grindelwald.”

“The trio of wizards should be three anonymous British kids, like when Daniel – Rupert and Emma started with the Harry Potter movie to bring a completely new breeze.”
