A fresh set of actors are about to be enrolled in what the film series cast cheekily nicknamed ‘the Harry Potter Pension plan’. US streamer Max’s plan to re-adapt the Potter books into a TV show running for 10 consecutive years and starting in 2025/6 should keep the lucky new cast in greasepaint and copies of The Stage indefinitely.
But who will they be? Lead characters Harry, Ron and Hermione will almost certainly be played by unknowns, but the Hogwarts ensemble – Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, Hagrid and co. – will be picked from the current crop of British acting talent, just like their counterparts were over two decades ago. Who working today could follow in the footsteps of Sir Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman, Dame Maggie Smith, Robbie Coltrane and the rest?
While it’s too early for any solid cast news, there’s no harm in a bit of dream-casting at this point,...

Everyone who loves dinosaurs gets excited about how big they were, but of course, only a successful few will ever have grown to their maximum size. Every big dinosaur started small, and in a prehistoric world, even if you’re a T-rex, that can make you look dangerously like a snack. Young Jared gets by okay because he has the protection of his dad, Logan, the king of Green Valley. But when fierce rival Fang and his gang of mean raptor friends move in on Logan’s territory, leading to his doom, Jared’s life changes dramatically.
Kids will find plenty to engage with in this story about growing up and taking on adult responsibilities. Adults will be able to make more sense of it if they realise that it was made in China, and follows a very distinct, traditional path. Yes, this is a kung-fu hero’s journey with dinosaurs.

The animated series is set in a prehistoric era in which dinosaurs, hominids, and other creatures coexist.

Every episode flows out like an unstoppable force beyond my control. Prepare yourselves, ‘Primal’ fans, for Season 3 is coming!“
