A new Harry Potter television series is set to debut on HBO on December 25, 2026, with the first season titled 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.' The series plans for six additional seasons, each adapting one book from the beloved series.
Dominic McLaughlin, Alastair Stout, and Arabella Stanton have been cast as Harry, Ron, and Hermione, respectively. Reports suggest these new lead actors are each being paid approximately $635,000 for the inaugural season, a figure expected to increase in subsequent years.
This initial salary for the new cast stands in contrast to the earnings of the original trio. Daniel Radcliffe reportedly received $1 million for the first film, 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.' Emma Watson and Rupert Grint earned under $1 million for the same film, though both eventually garnered around $30 million each for the two-part finale.
