HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series adaptation has launched an open casting call for its lead roles. The search is on for young actors to portray Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley in the new television series. The casting call is specifically targeting children aged 9-11 as of April 2025, suggesting this could be when filming is set to begin.
The opportunity is open to residents of the UK and Ireland, with applications being accepted through the Cast It Talent website. Parents or legal guardians must submit applications on behalf of their children. The casting directors emphasize their commitment to inclusive and diverse casting, welcoming qualified performers regardless of ethnicity, disability, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other protected characteristics.
This new adaptation marks a significant moment for the Harry Potter franchise, as it transitions from the big screen to television. With HBO at the helm, fans are eagerly anticipating how the beloved story will be reimagined for a series format. As the search for the next generation of Hogwarts students begins, the Wizarding World prepares for a fresh take on J.K. Rowling’s magical universe.
