Early life and background

Dominic McLaughlin was born in Scotland in 2014 and raised there. As of 2024 he was 11 years old and, by May 2025, he was attending middle school. He practices Christianity. Dominic’s physical features are noted in public materials as approximately 5 feet (152 cm) tall, with medium ash blonde hair and lavender-gray eyes.

Career

Dominic trained at Performance Academy Scotland, where he spent several years developing his performance skills. During his time with the academy he appeared on stage, including a production of Macbeth at the Royal Highland Centre where he worked alongside established performers such as Indira Varma and Ralph Fiennes.

In 2025 Dominic began to translate his stage experience into screen work. That year he made his film debut in the comedy Grow, sharing the cast with actors including Nick Frost and Golda Rosheuvel. He also appeared on television in Gifted, a BBC adaptation of a children’s novel by Marilyn Kaye.

Dominic’s profile rose further in May 2025 when he was cast in the title role for a new Harry Potter television series to be produced for HBO. He was named as the lead, Harry Potter, with Arabella Stanton cast as Hermione Granger and Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley. Casting directors on the series reported that the search for the trio was highly competitive, with more than 32,000 young actors from the UK and Ireland auditioning for the three lead parts.

Dominic’s early credits span stage and screen, and public commentary from his training institution celebrated his casting for the Harry Potter series as a fitting choice for the role. Outside of acting, he enjoys dancing, singing, travelling, reading and playing musical instruments.
