Several characters have been cast for HBO’s “Harry Potter” TV series, which is expected to start filming this summer at the same studio where the movies were filmed.

HBO shocked the world when they announced that they would be producing a television series based on the Harry Potter book series. As the show becomes a reality, some of the cast members who will be seen in the TV version of Hogwarts have been revealed.

Although she who must not be named is heavily involved in the upcoming Harry Potter series, Warner Bros. is distancing itself from her views. HBO Chairman and CEO Casey Bloys recently addressed J.K. Rowling‘s ongoing anti-transgender rhetoric and how it will impact the TV adaptation of her seven-book fantasy novel series.
