“Casting for the show is on point.” Harry Potter fans can’t get over how well these characters were cast in the HBO Max TV series

With the start of filming for the Harry Potter TV series, the initial photos of the cast members dressed for their roles started appearing. This allowed us a sneak peek into how Harry and Hagrid would appear in the HBO Max adaptation.

Apart from the buzz generated by Dominic McLaughlin donning his costume, recent developments among HP fans have been quite electrifying. Not only has McLaughlin made an appearance, but new cast members have also been unveiled. This time around, it was confirmed that Amos Kitson will essay the role of Dudley Dursley. Immediately, fans of the young wizard’s escapades concurred that Kitson bears a striking resemblance to Dudley. Moreover, they believe that he is tailor-made for the part of the Dursleys’ son in the television series, which will be portrayed by Bel Powley and Daniel Rigby.

Based on fans’ perspective of the Harry Potter TV series, the creators were “spot-on” with the Dursley family casting. This is due to two reasons: firstly, they will convincingly portray a family, and secondly, they accurately embody the characters as described in the books. Fans particularly appreciated that, unlike in the movies, this time the actors were chosen to match their respective characters’ ages.

It’s time for the casting director to get a well-deserved pay increase, as working with the Dursleys has been quite challenging, to say the least.

He definitely looks like a Dudley – CodCheap9332.

The actors playing the adult Dursleys also did a great job; they looked just like they could be their children – much like QueenSlartibartfast might say.

In simpler terms, it seems they were aiming for authenticity in casting Dudley, as they wanted a child who resembled both Petunia and Vernon. That’s why it took them some time to find the right actor.

As a devoted fan, I’ve got to say that the Dursleys have been warmly welcomed, and I believe any doubts about the actors’ physical resemblance to these characters will be put to rest once we see them dressed up. So far, they haven’t failed to impress us, as fans, with their portrayals of Harry and Hagrid in the TV series. They look spot on!
