After the recent announcement of a new HBO Harry Potter Series, the protagonist trio got now revealed.
HBO's new Harry Potter reboot is taking shape. After several cast members were announced, the big news is now out: the actors playing the three protagonists have been selected.
Three New Wizards At The School
After reporting on many of the opinions and potential problems surrounding the series, we now have some big news: the names of the child actors, who were selected from among 32,000 competitors, have been announced. They will, of course, play Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley, following in the footsteps of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint. Since the series is planned to run for 10 years, we will watch them grow up over the course of the series.
- Dominic McLaughlin will play Harry Potter. Although he is only about ten years old, he has already appeared in the comedy Grow.

More Depth In And Around Hogwarts
We can look forward to some of the characters gaining more depth, as unlike the movies, where a single entry was based on two books, here an entire season is planned for each book. In addition, we will gain a more detailed insight into the various locations, as HBO's budget will likely allow for a strong focus on comprehensive world-building elements. The sets are to be designed even more elaborately so that they more closely resemble the novels.
Many Critical Voices
However, the controversies surrounding the series, which has not even been released yet, cannot be ignored. From casting decisions that some consider questionable to controversial statements, everything is included here.
