Casting Calls for Dark-Haired, Green-Eyed Baby Boys Spark Harry Potter Talk — But Timing Is Unclear
Accio baby wizard? Several UK child-casting agencies have put out call-outs for infant boys this week, and Harry Potter fans think they’ve spotted a connection to HBO’s series — though the timing doesn’t fully add up.
Here’s the post that kicked things off:
Two other agencies posted similar (now-expired) call-outs on Instagram Stories:
- Ann Koska Agency sought dark-haired, blue- or green-eyed baby boys for filming tentatively scheduled at Leavesden Studios on September 1.
- Rotten Orphans sought twin babies aged newborn to one year with dark hair and blue or green eyes, based in the south of England.
Take this with the usual caveat that these are unverified leaks. None of the posts name Harry Potter directly, and it’s worth noting the timing is a little confusing: Season 1 has already wrapped filming ahead of its Christmas premiere, and Season 2 — which is set to begin filming around this same window — adapts Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, a book with no infant-Harry scene. So if this casting call is connected to the show at all, it’s not obvious what it would be for.
Think there’s a Harry Potter connection here? Let us know in the comments, and don’t forget to follow along for more Harry Potter news.
