HBO is set to revive the magical world of Harry Potter with a highly anticipated new series. Warner Bros. confirmed during a recent presentation that filming will officially start next summer, according to Variety.
Casting the iconic trio
The casting process for Harry, Ron, and Hermione recently concluded, with over 32,000 children auditioning for the coveted roles. The production team is now meticulously reviewing audition tapes, evaluating 500 to 1,000 recordings daily to narrow down the selection to the most promising candidates.
By January, the team plans to finalize a smaller group of contenders to begin more in-depth evaluations. This careful approach ensures they find the perfect actors to embody the beloved characters.
Staying true to the original story
Filmmakers have emphasized their commitment to staying faithful to the original storyline, avoiding drastic changes while offering deeper insights into the magical narrative. J.K. Rowling, the creator of the Harry Potter series, is actively involved in the production. She will provide creative input as needed to ensure the series aligns with her vision.
Fans can expect a fresh take on the wizarding world, with the magic of Hogwarts returning to captivate audiences once more.
