In addition to Davis, the new Harry Potter series will feature Elijah Oshin as Harry Potter’s friend Dean Thomas, along with Finn Stevens and William Nash as Draco Malfoy’s cronies — Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle.

The series is expected to last ten years, with the first episode set to release in 2027.
