California's Wizarding World of Harry Potter Has Issued a Casting Call for Performers

Attention aspiring wizards and witches: Your Hogwarts letter has finally arrived in the form of a casting call. According to Fansided, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood is seeking performers to enchant park guests.

In addition to thrill rides, high-tech wands, and magical meals, Harry Potter World in Los Angeles, California, relies on a staff of magical cast members to bring the universe of the books and films to life. Universal Studios' new wizards should be "energetic dancers and talented performers" who are at least 18 years old. Like Harry and his Hogwarts crew, the characters at Harry Potter World hail from the UK, and new hires must be able to "speak in a specified British dialect for sustained periods of time."

When the original Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened in Orlando, Florida, in 2010, it dazzled fans with its level of detail. The park features interactive Easter eggs, recreations of props from the movies, and butterbeer approved by J.K. Rowling herself. Any actors joining the cast will likely be held to high standards when it comes to committing to the theme.

The casting call is for ongoing seasonal roles, with training taking place and February and March of this year for applicants who make the cut. Check out the full posting to learn more and apply.
