Prove your Harry Potter knowledge by taking on our quiz about The Boy Who Lived
With excitement for the upcoming Harry Potter TV series ramping up, we're expecting an influx of new Potterheads right across the UK - and the world.
This week, the three key cast members were announced, with Warner Bros and HBO confirming they had found their Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Young Scottish actor Dominic McLaughlin will take on the role of the Boy Who Lived.
McLaughlin recently secured a spot in BBC series Gifted, which saw 3,000 Scottish children applying to be a part of the show. But he has now won his biggest role yet, and his best friends in the blockbuster wizarding series will be played in the series by Alastair Stout and Arabella Stanton.
After a lengthy process, show bosses were delighted to find the trio that will follow in the footsteps of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson as the magical youngsters.
Francesca Gardiner, the showrunner, and director Mark Mylod said: "After an extraordinary search led by casting directors Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockmann, we are delighted to announce we have found our Harry, Hermione, and Ron."
The young stars join global star John Lithgow (Albus Dumbledore), Nick Frost (Rubeus Hagrid), Janet McTeer (Minerva McGonagall), and Paapa Essiedu (Severus Snape).
As the generation who grew up reading the books and watching the films as they were released have now reached adulthood, it is hoped the upcoming series will have as big an impact on the youngsters of today.
But that's not to say older fans of the wizarding world won't be just as excited. And if that's you, then why not prove yourself by taking on a Harry Potter quiz.
Can you tell your Sirius from your Severus? Do you know who was Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher in each of Harry, Ron, and Hermione's school years?
If you think you've got what it takes, without needing Professor Slughorn to whip you up some Liquid Luck to help you, then read on below and prove your Potter prowess by smashing this quiz set by our sister title, The Mirror.

Meghan opens up about July 4 ‘tradition' and second date with Harry
In an Instagram post, Meghan said the couple began marking Independence Day in the United States with sweet treats after the duke brought themed cupcakes to celebrate their second date in 2016. The pair now include children Archie and Lilibet in the tradition, Meghan added. Posting a picture of seven cupcakes on social media, Meghan wrote: 'Our second date was the 4th of July 2016 and H brought me cupcakes to celebrate. 'Now, all these years later, our two children are in on the tradition. 'Happy Independence Day! May your day be as sweet as these cupcakes'. The duchess was also seen smiling in the kitchen and preparing fruit platters in a reel posted by her As Ever brand to mark the US holiday. A video on As Ever's Instagram account, captioned 'Happy 4th of July!' showed Meghan preparing boards of fruit and jam. Earlier this week, the duchess' new rose wine, which is said to 'capture the essence of sun-drenched outdoor moments' and costs more than £20 a bottle, sold out within an hour. Meghan launched her As Ever Napa Valley Rose 2023, described as having 'soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish', on Tuesday. The beverage, priced at more than £65 for a minimum three-bottle order, had only appeared to be available for US customers to buy, with shipping addresses limited to America. The duchess made her social media return in early 2025 and regularly shares personal milestones and professional updates through her Instagram account. Harry and Meghan have been raising their children in Montecito, California, since announcing they were stepping back as working members of the royal family on January 8 2020. The couple have since been at the centre of tensions with other royals, with the duke becoming estranged from his father, the King, and his brother, the Prince of Wales. In a recent interview, Harry said he 'would love a reconciliation' with his family, claiming Charles will not speak to him and expressing concern that he does not know 'how much longer my father has'.
