Harry Potter’s Tom Riddle Cast in `Maestro’; What Are the Other Hogwarts’ Graduates Up To?

Harry Potter's nemesis Tom Riddle was a problem student. Probably the posterboy for wayward Wizards. Frank Dillane, who played Tom Riddle, the young version of Voldemort, oh - did I say his name? - in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,"  will star in "Maestro."

"Maestro" is about a young and talented piano player named Paul, who will be played by the evil Harry Potter actor Frank Dilane, who moves to Northern Australia in the 1960s. The young musician is forced to learn from the only piano teacher his father can find, a Viennese refugee with a mysterious past named Herr Keller. Keller is known to the locals as "Maestro." The role of Herr Keller hasn't been cast yet. "Maestro" will be directed by Catherine Jarvis. The screenplay is based on the book of the same name by Peter Goldsworthy.

Frank Dillane will next be seen in the Ron Howard film "Heart of the Sea." Dillane was recently cast in Gerardo Naranjo's untitled new drama alongside Dakota Fanning.

What's going on with the other magical graduates of Hogarts? Warner Bros. is getting ready to film another set of Harry Potter movies. One spinoff will be based on a fictional Hogwarts textbook, and another will be about the game of Quidditch. Daniel Radcliffe won't be in it. Radcliffe just shot the upcoming film "Kill Your Darlings."

Emma Watson appeared in "My Week With Marilyn," "The Perks of Being A Wallflower" and "The Bling Ring." She will soon star with Seth Rogen in the comedy, "This Is the End." 

Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley, will play in the punk rock bio-pic "CGBG." 

Bonnie Wright, who played Ginny Weasley since she was 10 years old, will next appear in "The Philosophers" and then "Before I Sleep" with Tom Sizemore.  

Tom Felton, played the snotty nosed Draco Malfoy will appear next year in the World War II movie "Ghosts of the Pacific." 

Matthew Lewis, who played Neville Longbottom, moved to the small screen for 2012's "The Syndicate."  

James and Oliver Phelps, the twin brothers who played George and Fred Weasley, are working on stage and their website.

Evanna Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood, wants in on the "Harry Potter" spinoff films, saying "Even if I'm too old to play Luna, can I go through 10 hours prosthetics to play a crumple-horned-snorkack. Please??" 

Jamie Waylett, who played Vincent Crabbe, was sentenced to two years in jail for taking part in the 2011 London riots.  

Devon Murray, who played Seamus Finnigan, recently took to Twitter to say that he's "been offered a lead role in a new movie so could be seeing my mug soon :)"
