'Harry Potter' Season 2 Casting News: HBO Series Recasts Ginny, Finds Dobby & Tom Riddle
Billy Barratt joins the series as Tom Riddle, while Bonnie Hill replaces Gracie Cochrane as Ginny after season one.
- On Friday, HBO announced casting for three key Season 2 roles: Billy Barratt as young Voldemort, Bonnie Hill as Ginny Weasley, and Lenny Rush as Dobby the house-elf.
- Gracie Cochrane, who played Ginny in Season 1, exited 'due to unforeseen circumstances' after filming wrapped for the first season, which debuts on HBO on Christmas Day.
- Barratt, an International Emmy winner at age 13, will portray teenage Tom Riddle; 17-year-old Rush steps into Dobby, traditionally rendered as CGI in prior adaptations.
- The additions signal progress on Season 2, based on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, where Ginny becomes central to a plot involving the villain's magical diary.
- Work on the second season is underway at Leavesden Studios near London, with filming scheduled to begin this fall as HBO aims to minimize gaps between installments.
