Dominic McLaughlin, who will play Harry Potter in HBO's upcoming series, has given his first interview since being cast in the iconic role.

The upcoming HBO TV series adaptation of J.K. Rowling 's beloved book series offered a fresh wave of newcomers the chance to step into the Wizarding World, and for those who scored a spot, it's a dream come true — or, so says Dominic McLaughlin, who is inheriting the role of the titular wizard from Daniel Radcliffe.

The actors playing Harry Potter and Hagrid in HBO’s new series were spotted filming for the first time in London on Monday. Dominic McLaughlin, 11, got into costume as the beloved titular wizard with a collared sweater, a coat, jeans and a backpack.
