HBO gradually continues to make the cast of his new version of Harry Potter public, and this time it came to Dursleys. Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon-Harry’s foster parents finally received new faces.
Petunia is played by Bel Pauli, Vernona – Daniel Rigby. Both actors are around thirty for wizards of years, and this is actually very important: the casting brings the screen closer to their age in books. In the original, Petunia is the older sister Lily Potter, who was only 21 when she was killed. This means that at the beginning of the history of Petunia it should not be more than 34-35 years on logic. In the films Warner Bros. This role was played by Fion of the Show, who was already more than forty, and Richard Griffith, who played Vernon, was even fifty -five.
The remake will apparently adhere to the book “Canon”. This is not only a cosmetic adaptation – it returns the drama that the original films have ignored. If you understand that Petunia lost a 23 -year -old sister and Harry was in their house in just a few years – everything is observed differently. This story is not an adult monsters, but young people who were too early to make irreversible decisions and even more to train someone else’s child.
HBO has previously introduced actors for the role of a gold trio, Sneep, Hagrid and Dumbledore. It was also known that Molly Weasley Catherine Parkinson will play. The rest of the composition will be opened in the near future. Filming the first season should start in 2025.
