ABC FAMILY COMPLETES ITS SERIES REGULAR CAST WITH HARRY SHUM JR. AS ‘MAGNUS BANE’ FOR THE SAGA SERIES “SHADOWHUNTERS”
Burbank, CA (May 8, 2015) – ABC Family rounds out their cast for “Shadowhunters” with a little magic in the casting of Harry Shum Jr. (“Glee”) as ‘Magnus Bane.’ It was announced today by the network.
Based on the bestselling young adult fantasy book series The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare, “Shadowhunters” follows 18-year-old Clary Fray, who finds out on her birthday that she is not who she thinks she is but rather comes from a long line of Shadowhunters – human-angel hybrids who hunt down demons. When her mother, Jocelyn, is kidnapped, Clary is thrown into the world of demon hunting with mysterious Shadowhunter Jace and her best friend, Simon. Now living among faeries, warlocks, vampires and werewolves, Clary begins a journey of self-discovery as she learns more about her past and what her future may hold.
Magnus Bane is the high warlock of Brooklyn. With eccentric style, he’s fierce, cunning and keeps his cards close to his chest. Though he looks like he’s in his 20s, he’s hundreds of years old – which makes him wiser and wary of others.

thank god they didn't go with the movie magnus. looked perfect but was (imo obviously) a terrible actor
ReplyDeleteYay :D
ReplyDeleteSub-Zero gets to be in this ^^
Good casting IMO.
ReplyDeleteNooooooooooooo
ReplyDeleteDamn. I've greatly approved of every single casting choice and thought all were improvements on the film cast... except this. Wish they'd asked the Magnus from the movie to take the role.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the one in the movie lacked all the style and eccentricity Magnus was supposed to have, but I always imagined him a little bit older so I don't know about this one, I guess we'll see

ReplyDeleteWell I guess Magnsu will know how to dance.
ReplyDeleteYay! Harry! I'd love to see him in something besides Glee.
ReplyDeleteHey! Glad to see him back in work!
ReplyDeleteHe was actually Cassandra Clare's fan casting for Magnus Bane nearly 3 years ago. She fully supports this choice.
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
ReplyDeletea glee guy for Magnus!
ugh I'm not happy at all, he might look the part but I doubt he can pull it off. I am very disappointed.
Glad for him! He was one of my favourites on Glee
ReplyDeleteYesssss,Glee kids FTW

ReplyDeleteThis just made it sure: I'll check this out! (I haven't read the books nor seen the movie) I love Harry so much!
