"HBO's Harry Potter Series Casts Malfoy Duo"

Excitement is building for the upcoming *Harry Potter* HBO TV series as the production announces major casting updates, revealing the actors who will bring some of the franchise’s most iconic characters to life. Among the latest reveals are the actors portraying Draco Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy, Molly Weasley, and several other pivotal roles across the magical universe.

Katherine Parkinson, widely recognized for her role in *The IT Crowd*, has been cast as Molly Weasley, the warm yet fiercely protective matriarch of the Weasley family. This portrayal marks a fresh take on the beloved character previously played by Julie Walters in the original film series.

In a significant reveal, newcomer Lox Pratt will step into the role of Draco Malfoy, the cunning and blond Slytherin rival central to Harry Potter's Hogwarts journey. Joining him in the Malfoy family dynamic is actor Johnny Flynn, who will portray Lucius Malfoy—a complex and scheming figure known for his deep ties to Voldemort.

Additional casting announcements include emerging talents joining the series as fellow Hogwarts students. Leo Earley will play Seamus Finnigan, Alessia Leoni will appear as Parvati Patil, and Sienna Moosah has been cast as Lavender Brown—bringing familiar faces from the beloved book series to this new screen adaptation.

This news follows earlier casting confirmations, including Bertie Carvel (*The Crown*) as Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge, Bel Powley as Petunia Dursley, and Daniel Rigby as Vernon Dursley—Harry Potter’s dismissive aunt and uncle.

With the full ensemble slowly coming together, audiences now have a clearer picture of the series’ core cast. The newly revealed lineup includes Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley—the foundational trio at the heart of the story.

The series kicked off its casting announcements with veteran actor John Lithgow confirmed to play Albus Dumbledore, setting the tone for a high-profile adaptation. Further casting details have introduced esteemed actors such as Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid, Luke Thallon as Quirinus Quirrell, and Paul Whitehouse as Argus Filch.

As filming begins, anticipation continues to grow for this highly anticipated reimagining of the *Harry Potter* universe. Stay tuned for more updates as they develop.
