HBO Harry Potter The series starred the titular wizard’s parents, James and Lily Potter, with Jasper Talbot and Hannah Chinn, respectively. Additionally, Harry Gilby joins Charlie Weasley, the second eldest son of Molly and Arthur Weasley after Bill, whose siblings also include Percy, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny.
Harry’s parents haven’t appeared much in the hit films based on JK Rowling’s book series, and it’s unclear what role they will play in the new HBO series. According to the first novel, James and Lily Potter were killed by the most evil dark wizard, Voldemort. Lily sacrificed her life that day to protect little Harry, just a baby at the time of his death, with a shield of love. When Voldemort cast an evil curse on the Potters, it bounced back at Harry and struck He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, leaving his physical form non-existent and his powers rather useless. Harry was left with a lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead, a painful memory that marks the horrible night he lost his parents.
In the next Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stoneviewers will learn about Harry (Dominic McLaughlin), who has nothing special about him – at least that’s what his Aunt Petunia (Bel Powley) tells him. But when a mysterious acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry arrives, it opens the door to a hidden world of magic, friendship and adventure. Yet behind the enchanted walls of Hogwarts lie dark secrets. Harry must find the courage to prove himself against the darkest wizard of them all.
