The upcoming HBO Harry Potter series has finalized casting for several key roles including Draco Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy, Molly Weasley and other pivotal characters.
Katherine Parkinson, celebrated for her role in The IT Crowd, will take on the role of Molly Weasley - the warm-hearted matriarch of the Weasley family previously portrayed by Julie Walters in the film adaptations.
Fresh face Lox Pratt has landed the coveted role of Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter's aristocratic Slytherin rival, while Johnny Flynn (known for Lovesick) will play his cunning father, Lucius Malfoy.
The production has also introduced several newcomers as Hogwarts students: Leo Earley as Seamus Finnigan, Alessia Leoni as Parvati Patil, and Sienna Moosah as Lavender Brown.
This follows earlier announcements confirming The Crown's Bertie Carvel as Minister Cornelius Fudge, with Bel Powley and Daniel Rigby set to play Petunia and Vernon Dursley respectively.
Production is nearing its start with most major roles now filled, including the central trio of Dominic McLaughlin (Harry Potter), Arabella Stanton (Hermione Granger), and Alastair Stout (Ron Weasley).
Previous casting reveals included John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, 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.
