The young actors who will play the iconic lead roles have now been revealed:

Dominic MacLoughlin will play Harry Potter,

Arabella Stanton takes on the role of Hermione Granger,

Alastair Stout will portray Ron Weasley.

In the original film series, these characters were famously played by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint. For the newly announced actors, this will be their first major acting experience.
