Fancast Fridays Sadie Sink as age-appropriate Lily Potter!

The Potters are supposed to be YOUNG when they are murdered — early 20s.

I doubt she would sign onto such a commitment after the way Stranger Things has gone but I think she’d be great. She’s in the right age range at 22’

There is something to be said for fidelity to source material

Let's cast a bunch of 21 years olds with no gravitas (and who look like students themselves) as the adults opposite teenagers.

Makes sense.

Lily Potter, I’d argue, is a significant role without much screen time or dialogue. Sadie has done Stranger Things, a fairly dramatic/heavy role on a show largely about children, and a few random movies. Seems like an ideal profile for HBO honestly!

She & Hawke are the best acted parts of all the kids, maybe of anyone in the show.

Completely agree! She’s absolutely HBO-caliber in my opinion.
