Have you ever dreamed of something magical? Something like casting your spell or being entitled to your own wand? Battling against the dark lord and protecting the wizarding world? If yes, undeniably you’re a Potterhead. And probably part of your #goals is to enter the fantastic Harry Potter universe.

Chill but no chill! Regardless if you’re a pure-blooded wizard or a No-maj (muggle) or for instance your Hogwarts acceptance letter never arrived you can still complete your lifelong magical dream!

Recently, Warner Bros., the studio behind all the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them movies announced their open-casting call for teenagers to play the five new roles in the movie. The look for the incarnations of new characters are for ages of 13 and 16 to play young versions of Newt Scamander, Leta Lestrange and another character called Sebastian. They are also after the actors whose between 16 and 18, can portray both Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore as teenagers.
