Who Is In Harry Potter Reboot Cast? All About Main Character For Warner Bros. Tv Show
Warner Bros. Discovery made it official at Wednesday’s event to unveil the new Max streaming service: The studio is re-adapting J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” books into a TV series with an all-new cast, with Rowling onboard to executive produce. People are questioning who will be in the Harry Potter Reboot cast?
As expected, this time the seven novels will play out in the form of a streaming show debuting exclusively on Max, the newly renamed service which combines HBO Max and Discovery+. The best-selling young-adult fantasy novels will unfold again with new actors playing the iconic roles in a series that will span a decade. While it wasn’t confirmed that each season will take up one novel, each book does take place over a single school year.
“Fantastic Beasts” flamed out because audiences weren’t invested in the specific prequel franchise, not because any online discourse impacted the popularity of the Hogwarts-specific mythology or the Harry Potter series itself. While the recent multi platform video game “Hogwarts Legacy” was released under a cloud of controversy over both Rowling’s public comments and accusations that the game’s goblin-rebellion plot dabbled in anti-Semitic stereotypes, it still sold 12 million copies and earned $850 million in its first two weeks of release.

“We are delighted to give audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a whole new way,” Casey Bloys, HBO and Max Content CEO said in a statement. “‘Harry Potter’ is a cultural phenomenon and it is clear that there is such an enduring love and thirst for the Wizarding World. In a partnership with Warner Bros. Television and J.K. Rowling, this new Max Original series will dive deep into each of the iconic books that fans have continued to enjoy for all of these years.”
The timing of the show announcement arrives at a dubious time for the series. Rowling has come under fire over the last few years for transphobic declarations. And the ill-received “Fantastic Beasts” prequel film franchise cashed out after three movies — grossing $814 million in 2016, $659 million in 2018 and then $395 million in 2022. But the actual “Harry Potter” books and movies remain incredibly popular.

That interest and the now-upcoming Harry Potter TV remake series means a whole new cast is required for the familiar characters. And that also means an opportunity to fan cast the characters millions of children grew up with, including the missing characters from the Harry Potter movies. The key rules here are that this isn't just about recasting the Harry Potter movies, it's about going back to the books as the source. As tempting as it would be to fan-cast Daniel Radcliffe as Voldemort, or Tom Felton as Lucius Malfoy, it's best to avoid recasting major actors from the existing movie series. So who could play The Golden Trio and the Order of the Phoenix in the Harry Potter remake?Source: USA Today
