Harry Potter is coming to Virginia.

Well, not exactly. It’s actually Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who portrayed Potter in the popular films based on J.K. Rowling’s novels, who is coming to Virginia later this month to star in an independent film called Imperium, according to ABC affiliate WRIC.

The film will be shot in Hopewell, Va., beginning Sept. 20, and in addition to bringing a major movie star to the Commonwealth it may also provide a huge boost for the Hopewell community. One local business told WRIC it is already prepared to extend its hours to serve the film crew while the movie is being filmed.

Producers with the film are also looking for movie extras in the area. For your shot at a spot in the movie, send a front and side head shot, along with your height and weight, to ImperiumExtras@Gmail.com. Hopewell residents should put “Hopewell” in the subject line.
