Local lad Dominic McLaughlin has secured one of the largest, sought after roles in television, playing Harry Potter in the forthcoming HBO adaption of JK Rowling’s book series!
Dominic, a student of Cambuslang’s ‘Performance Academy’ saw off more than 30,000 other child actors for the prestigious role. Arabella Stanton is Hermione Granger and Alastair Stout is Ron Weasley.
The Performance Academy (TPA) Scotland congratulated the young actor, saying: “We are not sure that this will ever feel real but we said from the start that Dominic was the perfect Harry and we are thrilled for everyone else to see this soon too. Dominic, we will forever be proud of you! We have had an incredible journey with you these last five years at TPA and can’t wait for what’s next on this journey.”
Filming is expected to start later this year. Congratulations Dominic !
