Harry Potter TV series reveals new cast members including Game of Thrones star
Anton Lesser has been cast in the new Harry Potter TV series. Warner Bros. has confirmed the Game of Thrones actor - who portrayed Qyburn in the fantasy series - will portray wandmaker and Ollivanders wand shop owner Garrick Ollivander in the new HBO series. John Hurt - who passed away in 2017, aged 77 - took on the role in the Harry Potter movies. Other new cast members include Rory Wilmot as Neville Longbottom, Amos Kitson as Dudley Dursley, and Louise Brealey as Madam Rolanda Hooch. Production has started at Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, Hertfordshire, on HBO's Harry Potter series, which will debut in 2027 on HBO and HBO Max. The latest casting comes after Harry Potter added nine stars to the series - which will be a faithful adaptation of the beloved Harry Potter books by author and executive producer J.K. Rowling - last month. Rivals actress Katherine Parkinson joined the show as Molly Weasley, and Dalgliesh star Bertie Carvel will portray Cornelius Fudge. What's more, Lox Pratt and Johnny Flynn will take on the roles of Draco Malfoy and Lucius Malfoy respectively, and Bel Powley and Daniel Rigby will portray Petunia and Vernon Dursley. Newcomers Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton and Alastair Stout will play the main characters Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley. Francesca Gardiner - showrunner and executive producer - and fellow exec producer 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 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." John Lithgow (Albus Dumbledore), Janet McTeer (Minerva McGonagall), Paapa Essiedu (Severus Snape), and Nick Frost (Rubeus Hagrid) will be series regulars, and other recurring cast includes Luke Thallon (Quirinus Quirrell) and Paul Whitehouse (Argus Filch).

Dalgliesh positive despite Scotland defeat in Summer Series
England ran in five tries at the Centre for Sporting Excellence in Ystrad Mynach, Caerphilly to secure the win but Scotland battled valiantly for 80 minutes, continually refusing to let their opponents get away from them in the scoring, as Holly McIntyre, Emily Norval and Poppy Mellanby all crossed over. And when reflecting on the result, Dalgliesh was pleased with how her players connected with one another and adapted during the game. 'I thought the clarity that we played with in terms of our intentions to move the ball and cause England problems was really impressive,' she said. 'We have worked really hard on our connection [between players] on both sides of the ball. 'I'm just really proud of the connection, how the players worked on the field to identify what was happening and then adapt to the different pictures that they were seeing.' 😎 A recap of the results from yesterday's opening games in the #U6NSummerSeries — Six Nations Under-20s (@SixNationsU20) July 6, 2025 Scotland's opening try came from McIntyre's superb score after Lucy Macrae's pinpoint cross-field kick and Dalgliesh was thrilled with the all-round team move that led to the score. 'I'm delighted for her [Holly] and the forwards gave us a brilliant platform to allow that kick to take place. 'Holly's finish was outstanding and I'm delighted for her.' Next up for Scotland is a clash against Wales, who also lost their opening match of the competition, going down 27-10 to Ireland. And although Dalgliesh said the team would review Wales' opening game, she insisted the most important thing would be to concentrate on their own game heading into the encounter. 'I think it's important that we still focus on ourselves,' she continued. 'We will take the opportunity to have a look at [Wales'] game to see which areas we can go after. 'But we've showed that we can score some quality tries and we can take confidence from that to take into our next match on Friday.'
