HBO’s Harry Potter to Recast Ginny Weasley After Season 1

The change raises the stakes for a role that grows in Season 2 as the show lines up a fall start.

Overview

  • Gracie Cochrane, who plays Ginny in Season 1, confirmed Monday she will leave the series due to “unforeseen circumstances.”
  • Producers plan to recast the part before Season 2, which is slated to begin filming in the fall under newly elevated co-showrunner Jon Brown.
  • HBO said it supports the family’s decision and thanked Cochrane for her work on the first season.
  • Season 1 has wrapped and is scheduled to premiere at Christmas on HBO and Max.
  • Ginny’s role is small in the first book but expands in the second, so the casting choice will be closely watched by fans.
