In latest months, it’s been thrilling to see HBO’s new Harry Potter TV present come collectively forward of its 2027 premiere. However, earlier than we head again to Hogwarts to see Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger again in motion by means of new actors, one other beloved literary trio is coming again. Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 is sort of right here, and I spoke with the core actors about being within the distinctive place that the Harry Potter stars are simply now venturing into.
CinemaBlend is at San Diego Comedian Con this week, and we caught Walker Scobell, Leah Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri on the Parcy Jackson Season 2 press line on Thursday. Whereas talking to our Percy, Annabeth and Grover, I requested them if they’d any recommendation for the brand new Harry Potter trio. Let’s begin with Scobell’s response:
Oh, that’s so bizarre to consider. I actually need to meet the outdated Harry Potter [cast]. Like, you realize, those [from] the films, that Harry Potter solid. I would additionally love to fulfill the brand new Harry Potter solid. That’d be actually fascinating. I am really actually excited for the present and what they do with it. And yeah, I would say simply, for recommendation… We’re type of in the identical place proper now, so, simply keep assured and maintain going and, I don’t know. I have to suppose extra about that.
How cool would it not be if the Percy Jackson solid bought to meet up with the unique Harry Potter solid and speak about their experiences? It’s such a singular one to develop up enjoying an iconic character that individuals love and permits followers to really feel like they grew up alongside you. Scobell has linked up with the Percy Jackson from the films, Logan Lerman, and now they contemplate one another mates.
Going again to Harry Potter, right here’s what Jeffries stated:
I’d most likely say… keep sturdy. Should you have a look at it, a triangle and stuff could be very sturdy. what I imply? Regardless of how, like— when it flips or rolls or one thing, like, nothing can actually… nothing can actually tear that aside. So seeing that trio triangle, love you guys.
Sadly, when Leah Jeffries was solid as Annabeth, she handled some casting backlash initially for not matching the character description within the books. The brand new Hermione actress Arabella Stanton was in the same place when her casting information got here out. Jeffries has some strong recommendation for the solid to “keep sturdy” and keep on with one another.
It’s a candy sentiment, particularly contemplating a famed image within the Harry Potter sequence is a triangle, too.
And final however not least, right here’s Grove actor Aryan Simhadri’s recommendation:
Oh, there’s a lot I’ve realized on this present. I feel the most important one, by way of, like, reception, is the most important factor which you can say to your viewers goes to be by means of your work. So put as a lot effort into that as you presumably can. Like pummeling the strains into your nervous system and into your physique. In order that method on the day, you do not give it some thought. And that is what is going on to make you your character. ?
These three had such sensible phrases to provide the Harry Potter solid, and they’re simply getting began. Take a look at the video under:
Walker Scobell is 16, Leah Jeffries is 15 and Aryan Simhadri is nineteen years outdated, and they’re nearly able to debut Season 2 when it premieres on the 2025 TV schedule this December. On Thursday, they took Corridor H to share particulars in regards to the new season, together with a brand new trailer that features a ton of reveals for new characters becoming a member of the present. After this trade, right here’s hoping the 2 casts do cross paths in some unspecified time in the future.
