Summary
HBO's upcoming Harry Potter television series has cast Peter Serafinowicz to play Peeves the Poltergeist, a beloved character from the books who was famously cut from the original film adaptations. The casting brings a fan-favorite element back into the Harry Potter universe, as Peeves was a mischievous and chaotic presence at Hogwarts that book readers were disappointed to see omitted from the movies. This marks a significant casting announcement for the HBO series, which aims to be a more faithful adaptation of J.K. Rowling's books.
