HBO's Harry Potter Officially Casts Its New Sorting Hat and Ghosts

HBO's new Harry Potter TV show is just two months away, but key roles are still being cast — or at least officially announced — for the series. The new Harry Potter will be full of fresh faces, including new lead actors Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley. On Friday, HBO confirmed new actors for multiple key roles, including Hogwarts' Sorting Hat and a handful of spooks, specters, and ghosts that haunt the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
