A third chimed: 'I freaking LOVE it! The casting is perfect.'

The roles of father Arthur, along with siblings Bill and Charlie have yet to be announced.
Scenes were shot this week as London's Borough High Street was taken over by film crews and turned into magical Diagon Alley.
Videos showed a very tall body double walking around in a lifelike Hagrid animatronic head.
Another snap showed actor Nick Frost, who will be playing Hagrid in the show, normal sized and dressed in Hagrid's outfit with a thick and bushy wig hiding most of his face.
Nick can be seen standing in the middle of the road next to a black taxi during filming alongside the new Harry.
Dominic McLaughlin will play Harry, Alastair is taking on Ron and Arabella Stanton is in place as Hermione.
The original 2000's films turned Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint into household names thanks to their portrayals of young wizard Harry and his pals Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.

Unholy row at King Charles' church deepens after choir blasted for ‘having no knowledge of singing'
The 16-page report, seen by The Sun, was commissioned by the King's chaplain A RIGHT ROYAL RACKET Unholy row at King Charles' church deepens after choir blasted for 'having no knowledge of singing' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE King's church choir makes an unholy din, a damning report claims. There was 'no knowledge of music or singing technique' at practice sessions and it needed to 'aspire to higher standards' to sing for royalty, an 18-month investigation concluded.

The 16-page report, seen by The Sun, was commissioned by the King's chaplain, the Rev Paul Williams, amid a dispute with the choir's director of music, Dr Claire Stewart. It highlights a 'limited repertoire' and suggests setting out a 'musical vision' for the volunteer choir with leadership based on 'outstanding skill set, dynamic risk-taking, motivation and aspiration'. The inquiry was carried out by Tansy Castledine, director of music at Peterborough Cathedral Despite the criticisms, she said the choir was enthusiastic and 'extremely dedicated'. But one parishioner said: 'The report is a hatchet job filled with corporate jargon. 'This is a Norfolk village church — not Westminster Abbey.' Others have rallied around Dr Stewart, currently on sick leave. The Sun previously revealed King Charles was made aware of the church row and had been asked to intervene. The Diocese of Norwich has been approached for comment. End of an era as King Charles AXES royal train after 150 years as cost of keeping iconic vehicle going hits £1.2m a year
