Dream Casting: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

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….
