According to J.K. Rowling, Ron is still very much the Weasley we remember. She said: ‘Ron in his forties isn't very different from Ron in his teens, except that his feet hurt a bit more. Paul's so funny and brilliant in the role.’

And after years of complaining about his mother’s jumpers, it looks like Ron Weasley has finally warmed to them, if his costume is anything to go by.

‘We had to make it look as though he doesn’t really care what he wears in the morning,’ Paul Thornley said.

‘We wanted to find a jumper, that is definitely his favourite jumper, and that I think gets washed occasionally. He wants to essentially be comfortable at all times, hence comfortable cords, comfortable jumper, comfortable shoes. I don’t believe he’s a man who spends an awful lot of time shopping.’

With the three of them absolutely looking the part, the actors are now focused on the technical rehearsals but obviously remain tight-lipped on what is to come.

‘The technical rehearsal is where you put all the components together,’ Paul said. ‘All the lights, the sound, the magic – which I’m not going to tell you about – the illusions – which I’m not going to tell you about – and the costumes, and for us to find our places on the stage. We also try to all fit backstage and get the various scenery on and off without bumping into each other, which is sometimes successful.’

‘It’s just a real joy to watch everyone else’s work and to see all the elements of the show coming together, especially coming into the theatre.’ Cherrelle added. ‘It’s amazing to sit in the stalls and watch and it’s a blessing to know that I’m a part of this team.’

Noma added: ‘Every time I’m in the auditorium I turn around to people or say to myself, “I’m in that show, I’m in that show.” I want to see it so much. I am so proud that I am in it.’

In the third and final reveal this week, Pottermore will share new images of two more wizarding characters from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts One and Two. Come back tomorrow to discover the actors behind the roles.
