HBO has announced five new names for the cast of the first season of Harry Potter. Leo Bill will play Nearly Headless Nick, Andrew Brooke will be the Bloody Baron, Laura Smyth will play the Fat Lady, Daniel Fearn will play the Fat Friar, and David Threlfall will be the Sorting Hat.

The HBO original series will adapt JK Rowling's literary saga, presenting a new version of the young wizard's story.
It's worth remembering that the series will be one of the main attractions at CCXP26, the world's largest pop culture festival, which takes place annually in São Paulo. More details about the Harry Potter program, which may include appearances on the Thunder Stage and, of course, the iconic Omelete Stage, will be released in the coming weeks.

The upcoming HBO Max series is scheduled to premiere at Christmas 2026 with eight episodes in its first season. Filming began last summer, and the production has already confirmed that the story will not be told solely from Harry's point of view.
The confirmed cast includes Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley.
John Lithgow will play Albus Dumbledore. The series will also bring back History of Magic classes with Professor Binns, played by Richard Durden, and will foreshadow the introduction of Lucius Malfoy, who will be played by Johnny Flynn.
The series premieres this Christmas on HBO Max.
