Dominic McLaughlin, who will play Harry Potter in HBO's upcoming series, has given his first interview since being cast in the iconic role.

The upcoming HBO TV series adaptation of J.K. Rowling 's beloved book series offered a fresh wave of newcomers the chance to step into the Wizarding World, and for those who scored a spot, it's a dream come true — or, so says Dominic McLaughlin, who is inheriting the role of the titular wizard from Daniel Radcliffe.

It is confirmed: the new face of Harry Potter himself is talking, and he sounds exactly like a kid who has just received his first letter from Hogwarts.
