Harry Potter fans can rejoice - the cast for the highly anticipated 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' theatre production has been revealed. 

The Australian cast of 42 performers will be led by Gareth Reeves as Harry Potter, Paula Arundell as Hermione Granger, Gyton Grantley as Ron Weasley, Lucy Goleby as Ginny Potter, Sean Rees-Wemyss as Albus Potter, Tom Wren as Draco Malfoy and William McKenna as Scorpius Malfoy.

Grantley, who shot to fame in the first ground-breaking instalment of Nine's true crime series 'Underbelly' in 2008
will swap his gangster swagger for the affable cuteness of Ron Weasley. 

The story kicks off 19 years after the events of 'Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows' and finds an adult Harry Potter preparing to send his young son Albus to Hogwarts, where he forms an unlikely friendship with Draco Malfoy‘s son Scorpius.

The two-part theatrical event will be making its Australian debut in Melbourne next year, with preview performances starting on January 16. Even without the full cast being announced, a record number of tickets have already been sold.

Harry Potter fever looks like it will never end.
