Move over, movies. There's a new Harry Potter cast in town, and they're finally starting rehearsals for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child -- the eighth official story in J.K. Rowling's Potter saga.

The full cast and crew, comprised of 56 people, met on Friday for the first Cursed Child rehearsal. Writers J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany joined members of the creative and production teams, as well as stars Jamie Parker, Noma Dumezweni and Paul Thornley. 

Of the 42 actors in the ensemble, its seven young performers will share roles including James, Albus and Lily, Harry Potter's own offspring. Since the play focuses largely on Albus Severus and the Potters' home life, Ron and Hermione's two children Rose and Hugo could also play a role.

Given the massive cast, audiences can also expect cameos and larger roles from more people from Harry's past. Will we catch up with Luna and Neville (the movie OTP that belonged in the books)? How about Draco or the rest of the Weasleys? How many of Harry's old professors are still wandering Hogwarts and the Wizarding World? Could a costume designer outfit a human actor as a centaur?

These are important questions -- and Pottermore says it will have answers "very soon."

The full cast list (apart from the leads) is as follows:

Nicola Alexis
Helen Aluko
Jeremy Ang Jones
Rosemary Annabella
Annabel Baldwin
Jack Bennett
Paul Bentall
Anthony Boyle
Zoe Brough
Sam Clemmett
Morag Cross
Cristina Fray
Rudi Goodman
Claudia Grant

Adam McNamara
Poppy Miller
Tom Milligan
Jack North
Alex Price
Stuart Ramsay
Nuno Silva
Cherrelle Skeete
Esther Smith

The two-part play opens July 30 in London.
