Harry Potter: three leads announced for HBO’s new TV series

Newcomers will be playing the three leads, joining John Lithgow, Paapa Essiedu and Janet McTeer

After an extensive search, the actors set to play the new leads of the Harry Potter TV series have been found.

The open casting call for British children ages 9 to 11 led HBO to the three leads of its multi-season television series: newcomers Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley and Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger.

“After an extraordinary search led by casting directors Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockmann, we are delighted to announce we have found our Harry, Hermione and Ron,” said Francesca Gardiner and Mark Mylod, the executive producers, in a statement. “The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to behold, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic together onscreen. We would like to thank all the tens of thousands of children who auditioned. It’s been a real pleasure to discover the plethora of young talent out there.”

The three child actors round out the world first imagined by JK Rowling in her smash seven-book series and played by a who’s who of British actors across eight feature films released between 2001 and 2011.

Last month, HBO confirmed, after much speculation, that John Lithgow would play Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry originally played by Richard Harris and Michael Gambon, in the series designed to run for over a decade, with at least one season per book.

Tazeen Hussain’s beautiful wedding pictures goes viral

Pakistani actress Tazeen Hussain has tied the knot for the second time, and her wedding celebrations have quickly gone viral across social media

Pakistani actress Tazeen Hussain has tied the knot for the second time, and her wedding celebrations have quickly gone viral on social media. The news of her new journey in life has captivated fans and fellow celebrities, sparking a wave of excitement online.

Tazeen, the daughter of the legendary late actor Talat Hussain, has garnered attention for this new chapter. Talat Hussain, who had been battling dementia, had reached a stage where he was no longer able to recognize people. His long-standing smoking habit also weakened his lungs, which would frequently fill with fluid, requiring multiple hospital visits to drain it.

The announcement of Tazeen's marriage came on April 25th when her close friend, Saira Danish Ahmed, shared a collection of wedding photos and videos on Instagram, marking the beginning of this new chapter in Tazeen’s life.

Inside Meghan Markle's unexpected HQ next to LA motel

 Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle brand may promise Montecito-style luxury, but its actual headquarters paint a very different picture.

As reported by the Daily Mail, the Duchess of Sussex’s As Ever venture is registered at a plain, gray office building on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles—situated next to a run-down motel and a visible homeless encampment.

It’s a stark contrast to the brand’s message of “elevating the everyday into the exceptional.” The unassuming three-story building, reportedly linked to a Netflix studio lot, is listed on the back of Meghan’s upscale products like herbal teas and wildflower honey. But for those passing by, it doesn’t exactly exude royal elegance.

“It’s not at all what you would expect,” said one passerby. “Her products sound so fancy, but the building is about as basic as it gets.”

Another onlooker remarked, “You’d think a duchess would base her global brand somewhere a bit more glamorous. It looks sad and neglected.”

While the building’s appearance may not match the brand’s polished image—and it sits over two hours from Meghan’s Montecito estate—it’s possible the address is simply used for business mail. The report notes that the front door is often locked, the interior shelves appear bare, and even nearby Netflix staff were unclear on the space’s actual purpose.
