The selection criteria set out clear requirements for actors, including their age. The man obviously didn't meet this requirement (at least), but he decided to try his luck anyway. HBO has not officially commented on the situation, but according to the Daily Mail, the man was apparently rejected.

The creators of the series previously emphasized that they strive to ensure that the age of the actors corresponds to the age of the heroes in the books. At the time of the first part of "Harry Potter", Hermione, like the other main characters of the franchise, is 11 years old.

HBO announced an open casting for the roles of Harry, Hermione and Ron. According to the latest data, 32 thousand children have already auditioned. The creators of the series watch from 500 to 1000 video applications daily, but have not yet finally chosen the actors for the main roles.



Filming of the project will begin in the summer of 2025, and the premiere is scheduled for 2027. Oscar-winning actor Mark Rylance is being considered for the role of Dumbledore. Another contender is Mark Strong.
