The beloved franchise is slated to make a comeback next year.

Over a decade after the original film adaptation of the best-selling children&rsquo;s book series was released, HBO announced its intention to recreate the magic of the franchise in a brand new TV series.&nbsp;
Like the film series, author JK Rowling&mdash;who has been the subject of years-long criticism for controversial viewpoints&mdash;will be heavily involved in the upcoming TV series. She is expected to executive produce the project.&nbsp;
Curious to see how the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/alexander-mcqueen-spring-summer-2005-chess-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harry Potter</a> TV show is progressing? Follow along with&nbsp;L&rsquo;OFFICIEL as we unpack all of the must-know details, including trailers, release dates, casting information, and more.

<h2>Harry Potter TV Show: Plot</h2>

Season 1 of Harry Potter will follow the plot of the first book in the original series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.&nbsp;With Rowling attached, the plot is expected to be faithful to the original novel, with the likely exception of some details excluded for time and clarity.

<h2>Harry Potter TV Show: Cast</h2>

Despite requests from fans, the original movie cast of Harry Potter will not be returning for the TV adaptation. Instead, the studio behind the project put out a wide casting net with the aim of locating new talent, particularly for the three main characters. Dominic McLaughlin plays Harry Potter,&nbsp;Alastair Stout plays Ron Weasley, and Arabella Stanton plays Hermione Granger. While the three young actors have some film experience, they are relatively new to the industry, and the upcoming Harry Potter&nbsp;TV show marks their first breakout roles.&nbsp;
