Dominic McLaughlin has joined the cast of the Harry Potter reboot as the series’ titular protagonist, Harry Potter. The announcement has stirred curiosity about the young actor among fans of the books and movies. The Harry Potter series is one of the most anticipated projects by HBO, which is currently in development. Here is every detail fans need to know regarding Dominic McLaughlin and his age.
How old is Dominic McLaughlin?
With Dominic McLaughlin’s casting as Harry Potter in the upcoming HBO reboot series, fans are eager to know about his age.
However, information regarding the young actor’s age is not available online. But fans need to note that McLaughlin’s age likely falls between 9 to 11 years old, as HBO took auditions of actors who were in this age bracket to cast an actor for the role.
McLaughlin is all set to carry on the legacy of Daniel Radcliffe, who portrayed the character of Harry Potter in the movies. Radcliffe was only 11 years old when he was cast as the leading character in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in 2001. So, McLaughlin seemingly matches Radcliffe in terms of age when it comes to playing Harry Potter in an adaptation of the first book.
According to The Herald’s report, McLaughlin is referred to as a newcomer in the industry. Apart from the Harry Potter series, the actor will appear in two more projects. First is the Sky comedy film Grow, in which he features alongside Nick Frost, who will play Rubeus Hagrid in the reboot series.
Additionally, McLaughlin is also starring in the adventure series by the BBC named Gifted. Gifted is set to come out by the end of 2025. The actor has also had stage acting experience and has worked in theater on William Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
