Harry Potter: HBO presents the next generation
In September 2024, HBO officially announced the casting of its Harry Potter series. Months of intensive research later, the American network found the perfect trio of actors to play Harry, Ron, and Hermione, following in the footsteps of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson. The names of these young actors, aged 9 to 11? Dominic McLaughlin as the Chosen One, Alastair Stout as his best friend, and Arabella Stanton as the new mastermind of the trio.
Arabella Stanton, a perfect new Hermione Granger?
In the comments, Internet users praise the talent and charm of little Arabella Stanton, whose English accent and pronunciation are reminiscent of Emma Watson: "She's perfect for the role! She reminds me of a mix between Emma Watson and Jenna Ortega"; "She's excellent. The way she delivers the dialogue and her facial expressions are perfect"; "The Hermione from the books is exactly like that"; "Wow, I thought for a moment that was the old Hermione speaking. They have exactly the same voice. She also has a perfect command of expressions. So far, it seems like they made the right choice." Hermione Granger is a key character in J.K. Rowling's books, whose knowledge, rigor, and keen intelligence are one of the keys to Harry Potter's success against Voldemort. Fans are eager to see if Arabella Stanton can bring these qualities to life on screen, but this audition clip is already a positive hint that she can do just that!
