The new Harry, Hermione and Ron have finally apparated for HBO's Harry Potter series

The upcoming Harry Potter show, coming to HBO (including streaming on HBO Max), has finally found the crucial part of its cast, having already signed up a combination of Hollywood and British names for its adults cast.

Harry, Hermione and Ron have all been cast, and as you'd expect for young kids, they're pretty unknown names.

Dominic McLaughlin will play Harry Potter, and is somehow already a veteran of the 'kid attends mysterious school for those with special skills' genre, having played a part in the BBC show Gifted, about kids with superpowers.

Arabella Stanton plays Hermione Granger, and also isn't new to acting, having played Matilda in the wonderful Matilda the Musical in London's West End, and followed that up with a role in Starlight Express on stage.

Alastair Stout plays Ron Weasley, and is notable among the three for having the name most like a character in the Harry Potter books. He seems to have the least acting experience of the three, but has appeared in a potato commercial – which also somehow feels very appropriate for Ron.
