Harry Potter Reboot: First Look of Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Out
As Dominic steps into the role of young Harry Potter, he has some big shoes to fill. He takes on the role made iconic to a generation by actor Daniel Radcliffe in the films based on the books. In the picture shared by HBO, Dominic is seen smiling in Hogwarts uniform, holding a clapboard, which indicates that the show has already wrapped up shooting 100 episodes. Dominic, wearing the character's signature round spectacles and school outfit, evokes emotions among Potterheads who rejoice in the comment section.

Dominic McLaughlin’s Look As Harry Potter Gets My Thumbs-Up; Here's Why
While everyone is busy whining about the new Harry Potter series cast members, I’m overwhelmed with emotions seeing Dominic as young Harry Potter and not just because it brings back our childhood. Growing up, reading Harry Potter books, we imagined our perfect image of Harry—black, untidy hair, round spectacles, and innocence on his face, but mischief in his eyes. While Radcliffe did justice to the character, Dominic’s first look as Harry didn’t fail to evoke the same emotions that scream out loud—that’s Harry Potter! It’s not just me, fans too in the comment section approve.
One fan said, “Okay, wait. This kid even looks like the cover art for the books more than Daniel does. Good stuff.” Another said, “He looks great as Harry!” The third user said, “He looks EXACTLY like the cover art, Harry, he is adorable! Good luck to him and please remember to be kind as he steps into big shoes, he’s got this.”
