Harry Potter enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating casting announcements following a recent online leak. While Fred and George Weasley, Ron’s older brothers, may not play crucial roles in the overarching narrative, they hold a special place in the hearts of many fans.
As the HBO reboot progresses, these beloved characters will be reintroduced, featuring new, younger actors. Although auditions for child roles were not previously conducted, some adult roles have been filled, including that of Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, and possibly Hagrid.
Fans have discovered online casting calls for two male actors, both 13 years old, which many speculate could be for the roles of the Weasley twins. While there are no official confirmations, online discussions suggest that this casting call is indeed aimed at Fred and George.
In a Reddit discussion, one user questioned whether the casting call was for the twins, to which another enthusiastically agreed, suggesting that performers should arrive with red hair and appropriate costumes. Another commenter expressed appreciation for the decision to cast real twins rather than have single actors portray both characters, referencing Oliver and James Phelps’ strong chemistry in their roles.
Despite some fans feeling skeptical about the new portrayals, there’s a recognition that the reboot intends to carve out its own identity, separate from the previous film adaptations.
