Nick could be seen rocking the classic Hagrid costume, along with a long beard and slightly dishevelled hair. Ron will be played by Alistair Stout, and new images of scenes being shot at King’s Cross Station gave fans a chance to meet the entire Weasley family. Pictures revealed actors Katherine Parkinson, Gracie Cochran, Tristan and Gabriel Harlan, playing the characters of Molly, Ginny, Fred and George Weasley, respectively. Actor Ruari Spooner has also been cast as Percy, and the show will also include the character of Charlie Weasley, who wasn’t a part of the films.

The movie series happens to be one of the most successful movie franchises of all time. The films famously starred Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, Emma Watson as Hermione, and Rupert Grint as Ron. They were all cast before they’d even hit teenage. The first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, is now nearly a quarter-century old. It grossed $974 million worldwide, which, when adjusted for inflation comes to about $1.7 billion (Rs 1490 crore). Naturally this creates an even greater challenge for HBO, who don’t just have to match the legacy of the books but also the films.
