The Weasleys are finally moving into the Burrow; well, sort of. For the upcoming “Harry Potter” reboot, HBO, HBO Max, and the official Harry Potter Instagram accounts just dropped a photo of the new generation of Weasley kids, and fans didn’t hold back in the comments. The post introduced most of the family, teased one of the missing siblings, and left people curious about what this version of the Burrow could look like.
The Burrow Is Nearly Full
The caption kicked things off with: “The Burrow is nearly full” before running through who’s who in the photo. Already announced was Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley. Joining him were Tristan Harland as Fred Weasley, Gabriel Harland as George Weasley, Ruari Spooner as Percy Weasley, and Gracie Cochrane as Ginny Weasley.
That lineup already feels like a win, but the caption also slipped in a little teaser about one Weasley brother fans didn’t really get to meet in the original films. “Charlie’s in Romania at the moment but will be joining us soon enough…” it read, nodding to his dragon work and hinting that Charlie Weasley will finally get some well-deserved screen time. Considering Charlie barely got more than a name-drop in the movies, this reveal alone has people hyped for what the reboot can do differently.
Fans Flood the Comments
If you thought Potterheads wouldn’t swarm the post immediately, think again. The comments were full of love and plenty of heart emojis. One fan summed up the vibe perfectly with: “Cuuuuute.” Another asked, “Now did the twins meet at the audition???” and someone else couldn’t hide their excitement with: “Yes, so happy Charlie is coming.”
Other comments praised the casting with, “they’re so adorable omg” and “They look soooo good.” Of course, longtime fans of the books had requests for the reboot too, including: “Please please please give Ginny more personality in this version! She was so much better in the books.” Another chimed in with: “Really hoping we get to see Percy’s arc in this series.” And in true Weasley fashion, someone had to ask: “What about Bill?”
The icing on the cake? Young Ron himself, Alastair Stout, hopped into the comments to welcome his on-screen siblings with: “Every great adventure begins at the Weasleys Burrow. Welcome!”
A Strong Start for the Reboot
The Weasleys have always been the heart of the wizarding world, and this casting reveal proves the reboot is serious about capturing that magic. With Ron, Ginny, Percy, Fred, George, and soon Charlie all confirmed, it feels like fans are finally going to see a fuller version of the Burrow; and the family dynamic that makes it so special.
Between the sweet fan reactions, the excitement over Charlie, and even hopes for better arcs for Ginny and Percy, it seems like this reveal hit all the right notes. The Burrow may not be completely full yet, but if this first look is anything to go by, fans are more than ready to welcome the chaos, love, and charm the Weasleys always bring.
And honestly? Waiting to see how this all turns out might be more torture for us than Ron having to “follow the butterflies.”
