I'm incredibly impressed with the casting. They really do look like older versions of the original cast. J.K. Rowling has yet to comment on the photos, but she has been retweeting them.
The only bit we know about the plot is that we pick up nineteen years after the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Harry works in the Ministry of Magic, and his son "struggling with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted." Makes sense to me!
