Two years ago, HBO Max announced that they are developing a Harry Potter series, which will be a faithful adaptation of the beloved Harry Potter books. Today, they announced who will be playing Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley. They are: Dominic McLaughlin (Potter), Arabella Stanton (Granger), and Alastair Stout (Weasley).
Francesca Gardiner (showrunner, executive producer) and Mark Mylod (director of multiple episodes, executive producer) said, “After an extraordinary search led by casting directors Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockmann, we are delighted to announce we have found our Harry, Hermione, and Ron. The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to behold, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic together onscreen. We would like to thank all the tens of thousands of children who auditioned. It’s been a real pleasure to discover the plethora of young talent out there.”
The three join John Lithgow, Janet McTeer, Paapa Essiedu, Nick Frost, Luke Thallon, and Paul Whitehouse, who have already been in the series, which does not have a premiere date.
There are two things that kids love, and those are Hairbo gummies and Harry Potter. The two things have come together for a limited time in six different flavors.
The gummies’ flavors are caramel like a golden Butterbeer, crisp green apple from the Forbidden Forest, cola reminiscent of a bubbling potion, sweet cherry lollipop from Honeydukes, zesty lemon sorbet like Dumbledore’s beloved lemon drops, and fluffy cotton candy as light as a Nimbus 2000.
Those six flavors will be available in three different packages, one for each of our three favorite wizards. The shapes in each bag are made special for each of them.
Harry Potter Edition
Discover the magic of the Wizarding World with every bite! HARIBO Harry Potter Edition gummies feature unique shapes inspired by the world-famous story, including exclusive Harry Potter and Hedwig the Owl pieces that make this bag truly one of a kind.
Hermione Granger Edition
Hermione always knows what’s best, and we’re certain she’d agree that these treats deserve top marks! The Harry Potter Edition gummies feature unique shapes inspired by the world-famous story, with the Hermione Edition including exclusive pieces of Hermione Granger and her companion, Crookshanks the cat. Inspired by the cleverest witch of her time, these magical pieces are perfect treats for movie marathons or studying for your O.W.L.s.
Ron Weasley Edition
On their first train to Hogwarts, Harry and Ron bonded over magical sweets from the Hogwarts Express candy trolly—the start of a sweet friendship! The Harry Potter Edition gummies feature unique shapes inspired by the world-famous story, with the Ron Edition including exclusive pieces of Ron Weasley and his companion, Scabbers the rat. Now, you can treat yourself like a true Gryffindor with this enchanting mix of flavors.
I think that the bite-sized soft candies should be called Hairry Botter.
If you are like me and have Potterheads in your life, don’t wait to get them a bag of each! Because they will be magically disappearing soon.
Before Derek and Julianne Hough danced their way into our hearts on Dancing with the Stars, they worked their magic in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. How cute was the 15-year-old big brother and his 12-year-old sister in that 2001 movie?
“Did you know @juleshough and I were in the first Harry Potter film? ✨,” the DWTS judge wrote. “We spent three months in the Great Hall, the Forbidden Forest, and even the Quidditch pitch! It was incredible to be part of such a historic moment. And I may have ‘accidentally’ taken a Ravenclaw robe, scarf, tie, and a few pieces of silverware from set… but shh, don’t tell! Just a little holiday magic and nostalgia to share with you all. Happy holidays #harrypotter”
And now, the Hogwarts police are going to be going after Derek to reclaim the stolen items.
Merrily We Roll Along had a great night at the Tonys on Sunday. The revival, Jonathan Groff and Daniel Radcliffe, all went home winners.
It is the most buzzed Broadway Musical in a long time, and there are only three more weeks to see it. At least on the Great White Way.
That is because Deadline is reporting that the Stephen Sondheim production is being filmed by the same people who shot Hamilton for Disney+.
It is unknown where and when it will debut on the small screen, but I hope it happens soon. My friends saw it and loved it, and I can’t wait to do the same! Because it is all about me and my needs.
When you think of Harry Potter, you think of Daniel Radcliffe. Therefore, it makes sense that Jeopardy would ask him to ask the questions in their category, which is all about his time as his wizard.
He did such a great job; I think he should be the new host of Jeopardy. They are still looking for one. Right?
And talking about how good of a job people did. How did you do with the category? I didn’t get a single question right, and my nieces will shame me for it. They are obsessed with him, and I know nothing about Hogwarts. Is that what they are called?
