The admission to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has opened again as HBO has officially announced the casting call for the Harry Potter series. For the highly anticipated Harry Potter series, the makers are looking for young actors to play the new generation Harry, Ron and Hermoine, the iconic trio in the new adaptation of J.K. Rowling's beloved books. 

As Variety reported, the casting call is open to children aged 9-11 by April 2025, who are residents of the UK and Ireland. The producers also emphasized the commitment to 'inclusive casting', welcoming performers from all races, ethnicities, and gender identities.

The portal quoted the notice that says, "We are committed to inclusive, diverse casting," the announcement reads. "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."

To apply, aspiring actors must submit two self-tapes. The first video should feature a short poem or story (excluding Harry Potter material) no longer than 30 seconds in their natural accent.
