Dream Casting: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

With the announcement that the boy wizard will be flying his Nimbus 2000 into the Palace Theatre, we consider our ideal cast

The internet went into meltdown this morning when JK Rowling announced Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a stage play telling the story of the Boy Wizard pre-Hogwarts.

Whilst details of the actual plot are thin – there's rumours the story will deal with the death of his parents – we couldn't help but think who would play our favourite characters on stage.

(And yes, we know it's unlikely Hermione and Co. will feature, but we just couldn't resist)

Harry Potter – Elliot Hanna

Hermione Granger – Eleanor Worthington-Cox

Ron Weasley – Charlie Stewart

Lord Voldemort – Ben Whishaw

Severus Snape – Benedict Cumberbatch

Albus Dumbledore – Ian McKellen

Rubeus Hagrid – Nathan Amzi

James Potter – Hadley Fraser

Lily Potter – Hayley Atwell

…and these can just stay as they are please….
