‘Harry Potter’ Series To Begin Shooting Over The Summer At Leavesden; Showrunner Reveals 32,000 Kids Auditioned For Lead Roles
The 'Harry Potter' Series will Begin Shooting Over The Summer At Leavesden, according to Francesca Gardiner and Mark Mylod
Showrunner Francesca Gardiner and EP Mark Mylod made a surprise appearance at the Max Showcase in London this evening to reveal that the big-budget retelling of JK Rowling’s novels will film at Leavesden this summer. Gardiner, who said she had “devoured” the books as a 14-year-old, revealed that a whopping 32,000 young actors auditioned for the lead roles of Harry, Hermione and Ron. With other characters, they will stick to the “canonical” ages, which means Snape, who is rumored to be played by Paapa Essiedu, will only be 31 and the Dursleys will be much younger than they were in the movies.
