21 Aug - The redheaded Weasley family has added more siblings to the mix, as four more actors have been cast to play Ron Weasley's siblings in the HBO series, "Harry Potter".

On 20 August, HBO Max announced the good news with a photo of Alastair Stout, who plays Ron, with his siblings, Percy, Ginny and the twins Fred and George.

"The Burrow is nearly full," they captioned the photo. "Joining our very own Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley, we warmly welcome Tristan Harland as Fred Weasley, Gabriel Harland as George Weasley, Ruari Spooner as Percy Weasley, and Gracie Cochrane as Ginny Weasley to the HBO Original Series Harry Potter."

Stout himself shared a similar photo on his Instagram, captioning it, "The Weasley family is coming together. Welcome Fred, George, Percy and Ginny! (Charlie's in Romania at the moment but will be joining us soon enough...)"

Prior to the four new cast, it was revealed that "IT Crowd" star Katherine Parkinson will play the role as mum, Molly Weasley. No actor has been announced as dad Arthur yet.

James Andrew Eric Phelps and Oliver Martyn John Phelps previously played the twins in the original films, with Bonnie Wright playing Ginny and Chris Rankin as the pompous Percy.
