Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I was scrolling through Badass Digest when I saw a story about the final round of reshoots being completed on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, which would mean all filming on anything Harry Potter is done forever.
Sad, I know, but onwards and upwards! Mr. Faraci included a little bit of casting news at the end of the article, linking to a site called Screen Terrier who got pics of two youngsters appearing in the final film.
The first one isn't a big spoiler, so you're safe until after this kid, but if you haven't read the last book and don't want to know nothin' about the finale then don't read further, okay? Good.
This here is young Londoner Benedict Clarke who will play young Snape. He certainly looks the part and if he nails it he'll really put that emotional oomph needed to fully round out Snape's character.
Okay, now for the more spoilery stuff. Are all unsoiled eyes away? Let's look at the next youngin' to be seen in The Deathly Hallows:
That is Bertie Gilbert who will be playing Scorpius Malfoy during the finale at King's Cross. I'm sure you dyed in the wool fans will remember that we see the older characters (those that survive the Battle of Hogwarts) sending their kids off to the wizarding school, so Mr. Gilbert will be playing Draco Malfoy's kid. Again, looks the part, no?
Thoughts?
