Here's what Harry Potter and his family look like 9 years after the final book

It’s been nearly nine years since the last book came out, but "Harry Potter" is just as magical as ever.

New casting photos from the upcoming play  "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" in London have been revealed, and now we have our first look at Harry, Ginny, and their middle child Albus.

Here’s Harry looking quite wind-swept and with his trademark scar in full view. J.K. Rowling told the fan site Pottermore that Jaime Parker, the actor who plays Harry, "simply is Harry now. There’s a kind of relief in watching him, he gets it so right."

Ginny Weasley still has her red hair, but it’s cut short. Poppy Miller is the actress playing Ginny, and she really likes her new hair.

"So far I’ve had a fabulous haircut and, as this is Ginny’s hair, it’s obviously red and quite sleek," Poppy told Pottermore. "I also get to wear a gorgeous, hand-knitted jumper. I think of it as a really tasteful Pygmy Puff."

Their son Albus has Harry’s dark hair, but doesn’t wear glasses, just like his mother, Ginny. Sam Clemmett plays the character, who the play will center around. Rowling isn’t saying much about him just yet, but said "we couldn’t have cast better."

We’ll be getting more cast photos — including Hermione, played by actress Noma Dumezweni, and Ron, play by actor Paul Thornley — later this week.

Rowling has previously confirmed the play will "start where the seventh book left off," and will focus on Potter’s youngest son Albus Severus Potter.

Thanks to the epilogue and J.K. Rowling’s continual updates to her magical universe, we already know a lot about the play.

Albus is his father’s son in looks and personality: He’s a quiet and thoughtful boy who’s worried about being sorted into Slytherin. He has untidy black hair, green eyes, and he’s already a fan of the wizard sport Quidditch.

Meanwhile, Harry is still famous. and exhausted from his job at the Ministry. It’s also likely that Harry is suffering psychologically from his traumatic childhood of fighting one of the most evil wizards to ever live and coming close to death multiple times.

At the same time, his son Albus will be trying to create his own path in the wizarding world. It will probably be difficult for Albus to escape the great Harry Potter’s legacy.

The only part of the play we don’t know is how "both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places."

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will be coming to theaters in July, and will also appear as a book.
