Now that production has started and the first actors are being revealed for the new HBO Harry Potter series, it’s not surprising that rumors are spreading quickly.
HBO plans to create seven seasons of a Harry Potter series, aiming to share the magic with a new audience. This longer format allows them to include details from the books that werenât in the movies and create a more accurate adaptation of the original story.
We’re excited to confirm that some beloved characters will appear in live-action for the first time, including Professor Binns, Peeves, and Charlie Weasley.
The recent rumor that the series would use a narrator, differing from the films, has been proven false. It seems the show will stay true to the original movies in that regard.
After the latest casting news, including Richard Durden as Professor Cuthbert Binns, the blog Redanian Intelligence reported that Tom Turner, a new addition to the cast, is expected to be a main character and serve as the showâs narrator.
Despite reports, British actor Taron Egertonâfamous for his work in films like Ready Player One, Cruella, and Beauty and the Beastâwill not be the narrator, according to Deadline.
A new rumor quickly spread on social media and Reddit, sparking another debate among fans about whether the popular movies will change direction.
Some viewers expressed cautious hope about the new format, suggesting it could improve the show if executed well. However, others were strongly opposed, with one fan saying it gave them another reason to stop watching altogether.
Now that Audible has announced the cast for their Harry Potter audiobooks and released the first one, thereâs been some confusion about who is narrating them.
Dominic McLaughlin is starring as Harry Potter in the new HBO series, with Alastair Stout playing his loyal friend, Ron Weasley. Rounding out the main trio is Arabella Stanton, who will portray the intelligent witch, Hermione Granger.
The cast also features Nick Frost, known for the Cornetto Trilogy, as Rubeus Hagrid, John Lithgow (from Dexter) as Albus Dumbledore, and Katherine Parkinson of The IT Crowd as Molly Weasley.
While the exact release date is yet to be revealed, the Harry Potter series will stream on HBO Max.
