The HBO television channel has announced casting for three stars of the upcoming "Harry Potter" series - the "scarred boy" Harry Potter himself , his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The announcement was released online on Monday, September 9.

HBO confirmed the validity of the news to Variety. The casting call is for children who will be 9-11 years old in April 2025, living in the UK and Ireland. The announcement also states that the casting call will be open to all races, ethnicities and gender identities.

"We are committed to inclusive, diverse casting," the post reads. - For each role, we ask that qualified actors apply, regardless of ethnicity, gender, gender, disability, race, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other characteristic protected by law."

The application requires actors to submit two short self-examples, including a short poem or short story. However, the entry must not contain anything Harry Potter related. "Please prepare a short poem or short story of your choice. It can be from your favorite book, a poem you love, a monologue from a play, or something you created yourself. 30 seconds max!" - the organizers urge.

The second task is "a short video in which you tell us a little about yourself, including your date of birth, height and where you live." In addition, you should describe any family member, friend or pet that you are particularly close to.

Deadline for submissions is October 31, and the series will shoot in the UK during 2025-2026. So far, the release date of the novelization on HBO is not yet known. It is expected that the show will last seven seasons, each of which will be an adaptation of one of the books in the series by J.K. Rowling.
