Recently, we reported on the news of the three core characters being cast in HBO's Harry Potter show, which also came after the confirmation of many Hogwarts professors being tied down too. Now, we can build on both by talking about even further casting announcements, applying to a variety of characters, both adult and child.
Nine characters have been cast, including a member of the Weasley gang, the vindictive Malfoys, a collection of Hogwarts students, and even Harry's cruel aunt and uncle, the Dursleys, who here are much sexier than what fans of the film series will be familiar with. The characters and their attached stars are the following.
Molly Weasley - Katherine Parkinson
Draco Malfoy - Lox Pratt
Lucius Malfoy - Johnny Flynn
Seamus Finnegan - Lee Earley
Parvati Patil - Alessia Leoni
Lavender Brown - Sienna Moosah
Petunia Dursley - Bel Powley
Vernon Dursley - Daniel Rigby
Cornelius Fudge - Bertie Carvel
Expect even more casting news in the coming weeks as we get ever closer to production and the eventual premiere after that.
