Nearly two months away from the official opening but the end of July and a week away from the first preview of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts One and Two, portraits have been revealed of the charecters of Harry, Ginny and Albus Severus Potter, as they will appear in the play.
The actors have been confirmed awhile ago and now the production of Cursed Child unveils a new series of character portraits showing the actors in costume. Jamie Parker is Harry now. Sam Clemmett is Albus Severus Potter, Harry’s son and Poppy Miller is Ginny Potter, Harry’s wife.
Poppy has previously appeared on stage in productions of Macbeth and Twelfth Night, while her film and TV work has included roles in Line of Duty and The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
While Sam has appeared in productions of Lord of the Flies, and Wendy and Peter Pan for the Royal Shakespeare Company and you may also have spotted him on your TV screens in The Musketeers and Foyle’s War.
As well as confirming more of the Cursed Child cast, these wonderful photos give us so much to be excited about: this is the first time we’ve caught a glimpse of Jamie with Harry’s legendary scar; the first time we’ve seen Harry, Ginny and Albus together.
It might seem almost strange to see Harry Potter without his trusty Hogwarts robes, in stead he will use more grown-up attire. As he’s a Ministry man, Harry will wear a suit.
Poppy Miller was thrilled with her new look as Ginny Potter (neé Weasley). She had a fabulous haircut and, as this is Ginny’s hair, it’s obviously red and quite sleek.
Sam Clemmett is clad in Hogwarts robes from the start.
