By Cameras started rolling for HBO’s new Harry Potter series last month and many cast members have already been announced, including Harry, Ron, Hermione, Hargid, Dumbledore and more. Nevertheless, many more cast members still remain and are yet to be revealed. Today we can reveal one more.
Aaron Zhao cast as Terry Boot in Harry Potter
We’ve learned that young actor Aaron Zhao has been cast as Terry Boot in HBO’s Harry Potter. While we don’t know HBO’s exact plans for Boot in the series, his role in Harry Potter should be recurring and we should normally see him appear in multiple seasons.
Terry Boot is a young student of the same year as Harry Potter and gets sorted into the Ravenclaw house the same day as Potter. Years later he joins Dumbledore’s Army led by Potter.
In the film adaptation, Terry Boot did appear in the first installment and was played by Kevin Lee Yi, but Boot’s role was later cut and some of his dialogue and actions were absorbed by other characters.
Aaron Zhao’s credits include numerous musicals as well as the yet-unreleased feature film Two Neighbours starring The Witcher‘s Anya Chalotra.
