There's been a lot of buzz about the soon-to-begin Harry Potter TV series ever since it was confirmed; however, this most recent update has many fans excited yet again because it appears the producers for this show have begun searching for actors for season 2. The source of this update is not from the production studio, but rather from multiple online users who appear to be tracking the production and indicating the beginning of an early casting period.A good deal of the major character parts believed to have been part of Harry Potter's youth have already been confirmed by fans of the books and include well-known characters such as Tom Riddle, Moaning Myrtle, Arthur Weasley, Gilderoy Lockhart, Colin Creevey, etc. The same fans have also identified these characters as having created some very memorable scenes from the original Harry Potter films that have stood the test of time.The new Harry Potter TV series will be more faithful to the original Harry Potter books than the previous movies, and consequently, the pacing of this series should hopefully be much slower than that of the films to allow for many more details from each book chapter to be portrayed on screen as part of each episode.Early casting search and what it means for the story of Harry Potter?In the casting of Tom Riddle in Season 2, this provides more on his backstory of how he became the person he became. Tom Riddle is seen throughout the books, usually through memories or through some minor hints, but is one of the most important characters throughout the entire series. The show will actually give more in-depth information on how Tom Riddle’s early life led him to become the eventual villain he did.Another character being added to Season 2 is Moaning Myrtle, a character who adds both humour and sadness to many of the books throughout the series. Moaning Myrtle will add to the established light-hearted and comedic aspect of Hogwarts that viewers of the show already know. Also, the many appearances of Moaning Myrtle in the bathrooms are something to remind old and new viewers of the feeling of nostalgia when viewing the rest of the series.Arthur Weasley being mentioned for the early casting list also gives fans a hint that the Weasley family may appear earlier in the show than some people expected. Arthur is known for his warm nature and his curiosity about the Muggle world, and he is one of the characters who helped define the sense of comfort and family in the books. If the production is already looking for someone to play him, it suggests that the show may expand on scenes involving the Weasley household.

Both characters play important roles in the second book of Harry Potter, and seeing their names on the casting list makes it even clearer that Season 2 will most likely follow the chapters from Chamber of Secrets closely.How are fans reacting, and what comes next?The reaction online has been mostly positive, with many fans saying they are happy to see the production planning ahead. Some fans are cautious because the project is still in early development, but many others are excited because the casting search shows that the Harry Potter show is being built in a careful and detailed way.The only thing that remains unknown is when Harry Potter Season 1 will finish filming and when it will finally be released. But this new update shows that the team is already thinking about the long-term direction of the story. Since the books are long and filled with many details, early planning is something that fans expect.For now, the main thing fans are waiting for is the official announcement from HBO or Max, because that will confirm the casting updates. Until then, the reports shared online remain the main source of information.
