‘Harry Potter’ HBO Series Casts Dobby, Ginny Weasley and Tom Riddle for ‘Chamber of Secrets’ Season 2

A notable inconsistency appears across reports: while The Hollywood Reporter and Variety name the adolescent antagonist as Tom Riddle, IGN describes the same role as Young Voldemort. Both refer to the same casting decision for HBO’s upcoming second season of its Harry Potter adaptation, creating a surprise for observers. The report fixed the three principal roles and linked the casting to the series’ continuation.

The casting aligns with HBO’s plan to adapt the second book of J.K. Rowling’s series, positioning season two as the ‘Chamber of Secrets’ narrative. Later coverage from IGN, the Los Angeles Times, Entertainment Weekly and Variety echoed the core details, each adding emphasis: IGN highlighted Dobby and the Young Voldemort casting, the Los Angeles Times listed the actors filling Ginny and Tom Riddle, Entertainment Weekly described the trio as the season’s central figures, and Variety reiterated the full cast announcement.

The consensus across outlets suggests production is advancing toward filming, though no shooting schedule has been disclosed. No further changes have emerged, leaving the confirmed lineup in place.
