Daniel Radcliffe Speaks Out on New Harry Potter Trio in Upcoming Reboot

Daniel Radcliffe and original castmates share a private emotional connection as a new, recast trio begins filming HBO’s long-form Harry Potter adaptation.

  • In a recent interview, Radcliffe told PEOPLE HBO's Harry Potter reboot is in production and scheduled to premiere in early 2027, and he has been in touch with Watson and Grint.
  • An open casting call last year drew over 30,000 applicants and led to Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton and Alastair Stout being cast as the new trio.
  • Radcliffe, Watson and Grint are privately reflecting on how surreal it is to watch a new generation start their journey, saying they haven't had `a ton` of communication but share similar emotions.
  • Radcliffe wrote a letter to McLaughlin, saying the new lead may be `better` but he does not want to hover or be a specter in the children's lives.
  • The series also features established adult leads John Lithgow, Paapa Essiedu and Janet McTeer, with production retaining Oxford locations including Christ Church College and the Bodleian Library; Hans Zimmer recently signed on as composer.
