All the protagonists of theHarry Potter television

When the original film series of Harry Potter had started production, Rowling demanded that the roles of the young people be entrusted to new and fresh talent. Only Radcliffe, who was already working steadily as a baby star, had real actor roles to his credit. Grint and Watson were both found in open casting calls, as were the rest of the Hogwarts cohort orbiting them. The adult roles, however, have been filled by some of Britain’s most esteemed talents, including Richard Harris (Then Michael Gambon), Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Ralph Fiennes And Robbie Coltrane

.

In the case of this supposed series, it’s hard to tell where the castings will go. If the cycle of episodes follows the chronology of the books over the course of seven seasons, it is likely that the main roles will again have to be entrusted to budding talent, as the story begins with boys around 11 years of age. As far as adult roles go, there’s a new generation of British talent that has emerged over the past 20 years who could step into their guise. However, you will need to consult the Erised mirror to get confirmations about the casting of your dreams.
