There’s been an update on the casting process for the television adaptation of the “Harry Potter” book series.
The upcoming show recently cast four of the Weasley children. On Tuesday, August 19, HBO revealed the four young actors who’ll be playing Ron Weasley’s (Alastair Stout) siblings: Tristan Harland as Fred, Gabriel Harland as George, Ruari Spooner as Percy, and Gracie Cochrane as Ginny Weasley.
HBO Max shared an Instagram photo of the new red-haired Weasley clan.
“The Burrow is nearly full. … Charlie’s in Romania at the moment but will be joining us soon enough,” the caption read, poking fun at the fact that Charlie Weasley never appears in the “Harry Potter” film series.
The seventh Weasley sibling, Bill Weasley, appeared in only the last two “Harry Potter” films. Domhnall Gleeson portrayed the role. The other Weasley siblings were originally played by Rupert Grint (Ron), James Phelps (Fred), Oliver Phelps (George), Chris Rankin (Percy), and Bonnie Wright (Ginny).
