HBO’s ‘Harry Potter’ Series Is Officially Getting a Major Upgrade for Season 2

HBO‘s Harry Potter remake has a lot to live up to — widely beloved books, cherished film adaptations, and one of the most successful media franchises of all time. Re-doing the story as a TV series provides a chance for new writers, producers, artists, and actors to get their hands on this material, and the show just announced several newcomers to the cast for Season 2. Jasper Ambrose will play the underclassman Colin Creevey, and Molly Hewitt-Richards will play Moaning Myrtle. The biggest news is that actor Rafe Spall will play Arthur Weasley. Spall is a busy man right now, and he’s on a roll with lauded performances in Trying, Under Salt Marsh, Secret Service, and Bait.
