J. K. Rowling was overjoyed when Dumezweni was cast, as \u201cshe really gets Hermione inside out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul Thornley is a nice contrast to Dumezweni as Ron; he looks appealingly cheerful and disheveled. Ron is the same as ever, according to Rowling, \u201cexcept that his feet hurt a bit more.&#8221; No doubt he will still be funny and loyal to the core.<\/p>\n<p>Hermione and Ron\u2019s daughter Rose will be played by Cherrelle Skeet. Rowling commented on Rose\u2019s character, saying \u201c[she] is ambitious, obviously, her mum is Hermione so she\u2019s got a lot to live up to. \u2026 Cherrelle plays her perfectly: bossy but deeply lovable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Further photographs of the remaining characters are expected later this week. <strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> Photos of Draco Malfoy, and his son Scorpius have been released on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pottermore.com\/news\/cursed-child-first-look-at-malfoys-in-character\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pottermore<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The script is being published for a July 31 release this year, coinciding with both Harry and Rowling\u2019s birthdays.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of the Granger-Weasleys and the cast as a whole?
