Peter Serafinowicz has been cast as Peeves the Poltergeist in HBO’s “Harry Potter” series.

The character, a cheeky ghost known for causing trouble in the Hogwarts halls, is a fan-favorite who didn’t appear in any of the original “Harry Potter” movies.

Serafinowicz, who is repped by Curtis Brown Group, UTA, 3 Arts, and Peikoff Mahan, recently appeared in last year’s live-action version of “How to Train Your Dragon.” He is also known for playing Edgar Covington in “Parks and Recreation” and Denarian Saal in 2014’s “Guardians of the Galaxy.”
