New Harry Potter nerves? Think again, says Dominic McLaughlin
May 27, 2025, is when Dominic McLaughlin’s face was presented to the world as the next Harry Potter. After multiple rounds of being hunted for, he was finally picked alongside Arabella Stanton, who’d play Hermione Granger, and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley, joining the anticipated HBO Original Series Harry Potter. In a new chat about getting to the set of the drama, which previously, on July 14, announced that it was filming, the young actor did not let slip too much. Believed to be 11 years old, the star dished about the moment when he got to put it on, “A bit surreal to be honest, because I was always a huge ‘Harry Potter’ fan when I was younger. And it was like the dream role, of course, so I’m thrilled to be able to be doing it.”
Said to have been cast in September 2024, following his appearance at a casting call, Dominic McLaughlin takes on the big role as a baton from Daniel Radcliffe, whose name almost became synonymous with the one with the lightning bolt mark, aka the Dark Mark. In his big film debut with Grow, where he is joined by Nick Frost, who plays Hagrid in the upcoming Harry Potter series, the duo have made quite an appearance.
