HBO’s Harry Potter Cast vs. the Movies: See Every Character Side by Side

HBO is making a new television adaptation of the Harry Potter books, with each novel set to become a season. The main roles from the first two books have been recast, giving audiences a new version of the characters and, in many cases, performers closer to the ages described in the books.

The announced cast includes Dominic McLaughlin as Harry, Arabella Stanton as Hermione and Alastair Stout as Ron, alongside John Lithgow as Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as McGonagall and Paapa Essiedu as Snape. Warwick Davis is the only film cast member returning in the same role, while Bonnie Wright’s character is among those recast between seasons. No actor has been announced as Voldemort; the article notes that the character appeared in different forms at several points in the films.
