Stop everything. HBO’s *Harry Potter* TV show just officially cast the Weasley fam, and yes… it’s a literal squad of red-headed chaos.
The official account hit the internet with the ultimate group selfie of ginger energy, saying:
> “Joining our very own Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley, we warmly welcome Tristan Harland as Fred Weasley, Gabriel Harland as George Weasley, Ruari Spooner as Percy Weasley, and Gracie Cochrane as Ginny Weasley to the HBO Original Series Harry Potter. (Charlie’s in Romania at the moment but will be joining us soon enough…)”
Translation: Hogwarts just got a whole lot more red-haired, loud, and iconic. And yes, that means the sibling chaos you remember from the books is about to hit the small screen.
But wait, the magical trio is locked in too. Dominic McLaughlin is your new Harry, Arabella Stanton is the Hermione of your dreams, and Alastair Stout is stepping up as Ron. Basically, the Golden Trio lives again.
And for all the adults who matter: John Lithgow is bringing the Dumbledore energy, Janet McTeer is taking over as Professor McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu is brewing trouble as Snape, Nick Frost is Hagrid-ing it up, Paul Whitehouse is your grumpy Filch, and Luke Thallon will be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts as Quirrell. Hogwarts is about to be *very* full of drama, magic, and chaotic energy.
Get ready to stan your new Hogwarts family because this cast is straight fire.
