After the long wait, we finally have our Harry, Ron and Hermione in the upcoming Harry Potter series.
Over 30,000 people auditioned for the three main roles in the hit titled, and the winners are Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley.
"The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to behold, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic together onscreen. We would like to thank all the tens of thousands of children who auditioned.
"It's been a real pleasure to discover the plethora of young talent out there", said showrunner Francesca Gardiner and executive producer and director Mark Mylod in a statement.
McLaughlin starred in Grow, an upcoming comedy on Sky starring Nick Frost and Golda Rosheuvel, while Stanton was Matilda in Matilda: The Musical on the West End from 2023-2024, whereas the Harry Potter series will be Stout's first major role.
We're stoked about the casting and excited for the show!
