A new Malfoy father-son duo has entered the chat.

HBO has announced nine new cast members for its upcoming Harry Potter series, including Johnny Flynn and Lox Pratt, who will portray Lucius Malfoy and Draco Malfoy, respectively.

Flynn, known for his work in Netflix’s Ripley, takes on the role made famous by Jason Isaacs in the Harry Potter films. Meanwhile, Pratt succeeds Tom Felton, who is set to reprise his role on Broadway in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child this November.

Jason Isaacs shared his excitement for Flynn’s casting with a heartfelt Instagram video, celebrating the decision to cast such a “brilliant actor.” Isaacs, who collaborated with Flynn in the 2021 film Operation Mincemeat, expressed his enthusiasm for the news.

Last week, The White Lotus Season 3 alum also showed his support for Felton’s upcoming Broadway run, taking to Instagram and writing of the news, “What a birthday present. Can’t wait son – that’ll be me in the front row with something in my eye. X”

In Monday’s announcement, HBO shared that they have tapped Katherine Parkinson to play Weasley family matriarch Molly Weasley, and Bel Powley and Daniel Rigby to portray Harry Potter’s notorious aunt and uncle, Petunia and Vernon Dursley.

Bertie Carvel was also announced as the actor behind Cornelius Fudge in the new series on Monday, while Hogwarts pupils Seamus Finnigan, Parvati Patil, and Lavender Brown will be played by Leo Earley, Alessia Leoni, and Sienna Moosah, respectively.

According to Deadline, the new series, which is billed as a “faithful adaptation” of J.K. Rowling‘s novels, will begin filming this summer.
