This Morning's Ben Shephard reveals secret role in Harry Potter movie


This Morning host Ben Shephard reminded ITV viewers that he once had a small role in the mega popular Harry Potter movie franchise, but many of his fans had no idea

The team behind the upcoming original series - which is a revival of the iconic film franchise adapted from J.K. Rowling's wizarding books - are looking for a new trio to take on the roles of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger with children from the UK and Ireland invited to audition. This suggests filming will be underway in seven months, which matches the timeline it took to cast Daniel Radcliffe in the title role back in 2000, when he was 11 years old. "For every role, please submit qualified performers, without regard to ethnicity, sex, disability, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other basis protected by law unless otherwise specifically indicated.”
