Overview
- Grint told the BBC he wrote to 11-year-old Alastair Stout before filming began, wishing him well and formally “passing the baton.”
- Daniel Radcliffe recently said he sent a supportive note to Dominic McLaughlin, who plays Harry, emphasizing he does not want to overshadow the young cast.
- Filming on HBO’s multi-season adaptation has been underway for months at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, with a premiere slated for 2027 on HBO and Max.
- The core trio features McLaughlin as Harry, Arabella Stanton as Hermione, and Stout as Ron, alongside John Lithgow (Dumbledore), Paapa Essiedu (Snape), Janet McTeer (McGonagall), and Nick Frost (Hagrid).
- Grint reflected that Potter “changed my whole life,” said he is comfortable remaining linked to Ron, and noted the series will be its own thing even as it continues the franchise’s legacy.
