Harry Potter Series Casting
The upcoming HBO Harry Potter series is looking for three young leads. The casting call is now open for residents of the UK and Ireland! Here’s what you need to know and how to get involved.
Details
The search for the next Harry, Ron, and Hermione is underway! The series is looking for actors who are between 9 and 11 years old in April 2025. Applications must be submitted by a parent or guardian, and applicants must be residents of the UK or Ireland. The submission deadline is October 31, 2024.
To apply, two videos must be submitted. The first video, up to 30 seconds, should feature a short poem or story—such as a favorite text or something original (no Harry Potter). The second video, up to 1 minute, should include a brief introduction about yourself, including your date of birth, height, location, and a description of a family member, friend, or pet.
Several important instructions are provided for recording the videos. The key is to film in a quiet, well-lit room with a neutral background. Videos should be recorded in landscape mode, and faces should be clearly visible.
