Casting for Season 2 of the Harry Potter TV series on HBO continues, and Arthur Weasley, Moaning Myrtle, and Colin Creevey just entered the chat.
According to Deadline, Rafe Spall is set to play Arthur, the eccentric and lovable patriarch of the large, impoverished Weasley family, a fellow who works for the Ministry of Magic and is obsessed with Muggle (or non-magical) artifacts. Meanwhile, Molly Hewitt-Richards will portray Moaning Myrtle, the ghost of a young girl killed at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry years before Harry Potter himself (Dominic McLaughlin in the HBO series) starts attending, and Jasper Ambrose is set to take on the role of Colin Creevey, an overly eager first-year student who won't stop bothering newly anointed second-year Harry.
With the show's first season, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," hitting the small screen at the end of 2026, casting announcements have been breaking for the planned second season — which I can safely assume will be titled "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" after the second book in the original novel series. Kit Harington is taking over the role of that story's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts, Gilderoy Lockhart, after Nicholas Hoult stepped aside, with the roles of Ginny Weasley, Dobby, and Tom Riddle having been cast for Season 2 in recent weeks as well.
