Harry Potter HBO series: Rivals star Katherine Parkinson join show - who is in the cast so far?
More casting announcements for the Harry Potter HBO series have been announced, with actors named for major roles in the adaptation.
Rivals star Katherine Parkinson joins the show as Weasley matriarch Molly Weasley. Parkinson recently picked up a Bafta TV nomination for her role in the Disney+ series, in which she appeared as Lizzie Vereker.
Alongside Katherine, actor and musician Johnny Flynn has also been cast as Lucius Malfoy, the father of Harry’s school adversary Draco Malfoy. The Diary Of A Teenage Girl star Bel Powley will play Petunia Dursley.
Harry Potter fans are excited for the new adaptation, which will see each book in the JK Rowling fantasy series faithfully adapted per season. The newly-revealed stars join previously announced cast members that include John Lithgow and Paapa Essiedu.
The three young actors taking up the roles of Harry, Ron and Hermione were announced a few weeks ago, following in the footsteps of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson. Young stars Dominic McLaughlin, Alastair Stout and Arabella Stanton will lead the series.
