Warner Bros Studios Leavesden to Build Temporary School for Child Actors

Warner Bros Studios Leavesden, the location for the new Harry Potter TV reboot, has received approval from Three Rivers District Council to build a temporary school for child actors. The school, consisting of portable buildings, will accommodate up to 600 students during busy filming periods, though it will typically serve about 150. The new facility will help child actors balance their education with their filming schedules, as it will operate from 05:30 to 20:30 on weekdays. The application was partly retrospective, suggesting that construction work had already started. Though the application does not specifically mention Harry Potter, it indicates that the school will support a major new TV series filming at the studio for the next 8 to 10 years. The filming for the Harry Potter reboot has already begun at Leavesden, following an open casting call in September which attracted 32,000 children. The development marks a significant commitment to the series, which is expected to continue for a decade.
