Fictional Slytherin, rival to Harry Potter
Multiple outlets report new footage from JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series, with Dominic McLaughlin as Harry, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger leading scenes at Hogwarts. The clip previews a larger arc, confirms a second season, and situates the show as a major adaptation for HBO Max.
The HBO Max Harry Potter TV reboot has begun casting a new generation to star as Harry, Ron and Hermione. Felton, now 38, has stepped back from screens to mentor 14-year-old Lox Pratt in the adaptation, while Grint is expected to join Broadway’s revival of the characters. The BBC notes the shift comes with late-career reflections on fame and a new wave of fans who never saw the films first time around.
