The upcoming HBO adaptation of the Harry Potter continues building its Hogwarts student roster with several characters from Hufflepuff house now officially cast.
According to the latest announcement, four students from Hufflepuff will appear as part of the Hogwarts community when the series begins adapting Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
The newly confirmed cast members include:
- Hannah Abbott played by India Moon
- Justin Finch-Fletchley played by James Trevelyan Buckle
- Ernie Macmillan played by Cian Eagle-Service
- Susan Bones played by Jazmyn Lewin
These characters represent some of the most recognizable students from Hufflepuff house and will help expand the wider Hogwarts student body surrounding the main trio of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley.
Hannah Abbott and the Heart of Hufflepuff
Among the newly announced students is Hannah Abbott, one of the most familiar Hufflepuff classmates in the Harry Potter books.
Hannah is known for her loyalty and strong sense of fairness, traits that reflect the core values of Hufflepuff house. Throughout the series she appears in many Hogwarts scenes alongside students from all four houses.
Her character helps illustrate the social life of Hogwarts beyond the central storyline, often appearing in classrooms, common areas, and school gatherings.
Justin Finch-Fletchley: The Muggle-Born Student
Another Hufflepuff student joining the cast is Justin Finch-Fletchley.
Justin is a Muggle-born wizard who, according to the books, was originally destined to attend Eton before discovering his magical abilities and receiving his Hogwarts letter.
His character plays an important role during the events of Harry Potter’s second year, when tensions rise inside Hogwarts and students begin to fear the mysterious attacks occurring within the school.
Justin’s story highlights the experience of Muggle-born students entering the wizarding world for the first time.
Ernie Macmillan and Susan Bones
The announcement also introduces Ernie Macmillan and Susan Bones, two additional Hufflepuff students who become familiar faces throughout the Hogwarts years.
- Ernie Macmillan is known for his strong belief in Hufflepuff values such as loyalty and honesty. While he sometimes jumps to conclusions, he ultimately proves to be a dependable ally.
- Susan Bones comes from a respected wizarding family and remains a consistent presence among the Hufflepuff students throughout the series.
Together, these characters contribute to the broader social environment of Hogwarts, helping create the sense of a real school filled with diverse personalities and friendships.
A Richer Hogwarts Student Community
The HBO adaptation has made it clear that it intends to portray Hogwarts as a fully developed magical community.
By introducing students from all four houses early in production, the series can explore more of the friendships, rivalries, and everyday experiences that define life at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Characters like Hannah Abbott, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Ernie Macmillan, and Susan Bones may not always be at the center of the story, but they play an important role in bringing Hogwarts to life.
As the HBO series continues revealing new cast members, fans can expect even more familiar Hogwarts students to appear as the magical school fills with its next generation of witches and wizards.
