HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series is about to introduce the world to a new group of kids tasked with saving the world.

Today, HBO announced that newcomers Dominic McLaughlin (Grow), Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout have been cast in the new JK Rowling-produced Harry Potter series. McLaughlin will play Harry, Stanton will portray Hermione Granger, and Stout is the show’s Ron Weasley. In a statement about the casting, Harry Potter showrunner Francesca Gardiner and director / executive producer Mark Mylod said that they were delighted to have finally found their leads after “an extraordinary search” that saw “tens of thousands of children” audition for the roles.

“The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to behold, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic together onscreen,” Gardiner and Mylod said. “It’s been a real pleasure to discover the plethora of young talent out there.”

Previously, HBO announced that John Lithgow, Janet McTeer, Paapa Essiedu, Nick Frost, Luke Thallon, and Paul Whitehouse had signed onto the new Harry Potter to portray Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape, Rubeus Hagrid, and Quirinus Quirrell. There are still a few more major characters from the series who have yet to be cast, but with the core trio now locked in, we’re one more step closer to HBO’s plan for another decade of Harry Potter hype becoming reality.
