Harry Potter HBO series officially casts The Malfoys

With filming set to begin for the Harry Potter HBO television series, Warner Bros. and HBO have announced its latest batch of actors who will be taking on some iconic roles.

The Harry Potter HBO television series is set to begin filming this summer so it is about time that we got some news surrounding its brand-new cast.

So far, we have already got our Harry (Dominic McLaughlin), Hermione (Arabella Stanton), Ron (Alastair Stout), Dumbledore (John Lithgow), Snape (Paapa Essiedu), Hagrid (Nick Frost), Professor McGonagall (Janet McTeer), Argus Filch (Paul Whitehouse) and Professor Quirrell (Luke Thallon) but this time, HBO and Warner Bros. have revealed who will be taking on the roles of Draco and Lucius as well as Molly Weasley and a handful of other roles.

It has been revealed that Lox Pratt will be playing Draco Malfoy and Johnny Flynn will play his father Lucius.

Pratt is a child actor best known for his role in Lord of the Flies and Flynn is a British actor and musician known for his roles in 2020’s Emma.

The pair will be joined by Katherine Parkinson who will portray a younger Molly Weasley and many will recognise her from The IT Crowd.

Some other casting announcements relate to some of Harry’s Hogwarts friends such as Seamus Finnigan who will be played by Leo Earley, Allesia Leoni as Parvati Patil, and Sienna Moosah as Lavender Brown.

The Crown’s Bertie Cavel will also step into the role of the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge whilst Bel Powley and Daniel Rigby will star as Harry’s aunt and uncle, Petunia and Vernon Dursley.

It would seem that most of the main cast have now been announced which makes sense with filming set to begin in just a few months.

The HBO Harry Potter television adaptation is set to air in 2026 and will run for seven seasons with each season representing one of the original books.

Let us hope this new cast will live up to the previous.
