Lox was at the ceremony to present the awards for children\u2019s non-scripted and children\u2019s scripted alongside his \u201cThe Lord of the Flies\u201d co-star Winston Sawyers. In a recent interview with Variety<\/a> he said: \u201cI\u2019m excited for people to see it because he\u2019s so different to how Draco was in the films.\u201d<\/p>\n Also on hand were Nick Frost and Paapa Essiedu, who have been cast as Hagrid and Severus Snape, respectively. They jointly presented the award for best supporting actress to \u201cAdolescence\u201d star Christine Tremarco.<\/p>\n Introducing the duo, BAFTA TV Awards host Greg Davies quipped he had auditioned for the role of Hagrid himself and was only now just finding out he hadn\u2019t got the part \u2013 it wasn\u2019t entirely clear if he was being serious about the audition or not.<\/p>\n Meanwhile Katherine Parkinson, who will play Molly Weasley in the HBO adaptation, was also present as she was nominated for best comedy actress for \u201cHere We Go,\u201d which she went on to win.<\/p>\n The HBO series, which is believed to be adapting one novel in the series per season, is set to launch this December with an (almost) entirely new cast. Dominic McLaughlin will play the Boy Who Lived, Harry Potter, while Alastair Stout plays his best friend Ron Weasley and Arabella Stanton plays know-it-all Hermione Granger.<\/p>\n John Lithgow co-stars as beloved Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore.<\/p>\n Last week HBO confirmed the show had already been greenlit for a second season<\/a>, which will be based on the second book in the series, \u201cHarry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.\u201d It is set to begin filming this fall.<\/p>\n Best of Variety<\/p>\n Sign up for Variety’s Newsletter<\/a>.
