It’s been only 15 years since Warner Bros. released Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, yet a fresh adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s massively popular novels is coming this Christmas.

For HBO’s new TV series version of the Harry Potter saga, each book following the boy wizard’s Hogwarts journey being adapted into a full season. The major roles from Rowling’s first two novels — Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets — has been recast with different actors than those who played the characters in the Warner Bros. films. The adult actors are often much younger than their film counterparts, as the show is sticking closer to the characters’ ages in the books.

Below are all the actors who have been announced, with photos showing them side by side with their film version counterparts.
