Summary
Billy Barratt, Lenny Rush and Bonnie Hill have joined HBO’s Harry Potter Season 2 as Tom Riddle, Dobby and Ginny Weasley, adding three key Chamber of Secrets roles.
17-year-old Rush and teen Barratt continue HBO’s push to cast closer to the books’ ages: Tom Riddle is 16 in the novel, while Christian Coulson was 23 in the 2002 film.
Hill replaces Gracie Cochrane as Ginny after Season 1, positioning the character for a larger role as she becomes entangled with Riddle through the magical diary.
Kit Harington is already set as Gilderoy Lockhart, and Season 2 is due to start filming this fall ahead of Season 1’s Christmas debut on HBO and HBO Max.
