Further casting for the TV reboot of Harry Potter has been unveiled this week. Producers have announced who will be playing the title character in the HBO series, with Dominic McLaughlin following in the footsteps of Daniel Radcliffe.
Daniel, now 35, rose to fame playing Harry Potter in the film series of the same name. The actor starred in all eight films, from the Philosopher's Stone to the Deathly Hallows â Part 2, which were released in 2001 and 2011 respectively.

Dominic has been described as a "screen newcomer" but the adaptation of the J. K. Rowling novels isn't the only upcoming project that he's set to appear in. The Mirror has taken a look at his casting and career following the news, including how his role as Harry Potter will bring a reunion.

The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to behold, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic together onscreen."
They added in a statement that accompanied the casting news earlier: "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 show has been described as a "faithful adaptation" of the book series by J.K. Rowling, who's an executive producer. It's been teased that the cast will "lead a new generation of fandom, full of the fantastic detail and much-loved characters Harry Potter fans have adored for over 25 years".
â
It was previously revealed that John Lithgow, Janet McTeer and Paapa Essiedu will portray Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall and Severus Snape respectively. They will serve as series regulars alongside Nick Frost, who has been cast as Rubeus Hagrid in the upcoming show.
Other cast members include Luke Thallon as Quirinus Quirrell. It has also been announced already that Paul Whitehouse will portray Argus Filch in the TV adaptation.
â
Dominic has already worked on a project with co-star Nick, with their roles as Harry and Hagrid marking a reunion for the two actors. They are also among the cast of the Sky Original film Grow, which is set to be released later this year.
It's been teased that the film, which is set in a world of pumpkin rivalry, is a "comedy all about family, growth and nurturing". It centres around a "cutthroat giant-pumpkin-growing contest where the entire town gets their pumpkin patches ready to compete for a cash prize and pumpkin glory".
The cast is led by Bridgerton's Golda Rosheuvel and Priya-Rose Brookwell as pumpkin farmer Dinah Little and her niece Charlie Little. Dinah's farm hosts the contest and Charlie is among those who take part in the event, though she faces sabotage in her attempt to win the coveted prize.
â
Nick will appear as eco-loving pumpkin pundit Arlo, whilst, according to IMDb, Dominic plays Oliver Gregory. The cast also includes Jeremy Swift, Kathryn Drysdale, Alan Carr and Joe Wilkinson.
Dominic is also set to star in the upcoming BBC series Gifted, which is adapted from Marilyn Kaye's novels of the same name. He will play the character of Martin, with his co-stars in the show including Jessica Hardwick as Madame.
â
Set in Edinburgh, the show "tells the story of a diverse group of young Scottish teens who discover they each have unique superpowers". Their abilities are said to range from telekinesis to invisibility and mind reading.
It's been teased that the group must join forces to protect themselves when they are targeted by an organisation known as the Bodkin. Guided by their teacher Madame, they embark on a journey to learn about their powers.
It was announced last year that the show was already in production. At the time, it was stated that Gifted is set to premiere on BBC iPlayer "at the end of 2025".
