“Harry Potter” series would feature an entirely new cast, different from the popular films. In September, the series opened a casting call for the roles of Harry, Ron and Hermione and said they were “committed to inclusive, diverse casting.”
Gardiner said she was excited to “really dig into the character arcs” and explore Hogwarts more, including the lives of its staff, beloved and feared alike. Mylod agreed that their intention was not to “undo what was done so brilliantly” with the movies, but to evolve it.
