Previously, Daniel Radcliffe opened up to PEOPLE about how he and his co-actors have been feeling about the new cast members. He said, "We have all said, you know, you just see pictures of these kids, and you just want to grab them and hug them. That's the impulse that I think that we, mainly, all have." It's one of those where I think we all just know how the others feel, because we're also feeling it."
Meanwhile, fans were quick to comment on the much-anticipated first look.
A user commented, "I just got chills….. go ahead and give the costume and wardrobe department a raise????????????"
