HBO Is Doing WHAT With Lucius Malfoy?! (+Arthur Weasley, Moaning Myrtle Cast for Season 2)

Well guys, looks like we’ve got some more Harry Potter news. As of yesterday we were 100 days from Christmas and perhaps more importantly: 100 days from the release of HBO’s new Harry Potter series. I still don’t know if it’s actually christmas DAY that it’s coming out or just NEAR christmas, but if it’s the latter it’s certainly EXCITING but also probably slightly inconvenient. Anyway, with the clock counting down, the updates are continuing to roll in. I’ve got two major bits of news to get into today—one a little more scandalous, and one a bit more straightforward. Starting with the latter, we’ve got some brand-new casting announcements.
