\n\tSophie Turner<\/a> recently told Flaunt magazine<\/a> that she is worried about the child actors who are headlining HBO\u2019s upcoming \u201cHarry Potter<\/a>\u201d series, which is now in production and targeting a 2027 premiere date. The cast includes<\/a> a handful of relative newcomers who are going to be playing Harry (Dominic McLaughlin), Hermione (Arabella Stanton) and Ron (Alastair Stout) over the next near-decade as each season of the show adapts one of the seven \u201cHarry Potter\u201d books. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSocial media was just really becoming a big thing after I started on\u00a0\u2018Game of Thrones<\/a>,\u2019\u00a0so I got a couple of years of peace and quiet and then I had to adjust. It had such a profound impact on my mental health, like more than I could tell you. It almost destroyed me on numerous occasions.\u201d said Turner, who was only 13 years old when she debuted as Sansa Stark on \u201cGame of Thrones.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI look at the kids who are about to be in the new\u00a0\u2018Harry Potter\u2019\u00a0and I just want to give them a hug and say, \u2018Look, it\u2019s going to be okay but don\u2019t go anywhere near [social media],\u2019\u201d Turner added. \u201c\u2018Stay friends with your home friends, keep living at home with your family, make sure your parents are your chaperones\u2019 \u2014 it\u2019s so important to have that grounding adjacent to the big, crazy stuff that you do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHBO\u2019s search for \u201cHarry Potter\u201d stars included 32,000 children auditions for the lead roles following an open casting call. The young cast also includes Lox Pratt (Draco Malfoy), Alessia Leoni (Parvati Patil), Leo Earley (Seamus Finnigan), Rory Wilmot (Neville Longbottom) and Amos Kitson (Dudley Dursley), among others.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe BBC reported in July<\/a> that Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, the production home for HBO\u2019s \u201cHarry Potter\u201d series, built\u00a0a temporary school so the young actors can keep up with their studies amid filming. <\/p>\n

\n\tPer the BBC, Three Rivers District Council is permitting the studio to \u201cuse a series of portable buildings as a school facility for the next decade. The proposed classrooms have been designed to be used by up to 600 pupils during peak periods, when large crowd scenes are shot, but will typically serve about 150 students. It will operate on weekdays between 5:30am and 8:30pm so young actors can fit in their actual studies between night shoots, reshoots and location filming.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cHarry Potter\u201d series is set to debut on HBO and HBO Max in 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sophie Turner recently told Flaunt magazine that she is worried about the child actors who are headlining HBO\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":178305,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[171,39357,36552,53,39358,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-178304","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-game-of-thrones","10":"tag-harry-potter","11":"tag-movies","12":"tag-sophie-turner","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178304","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178304"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178304\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
