It’s intriguing to hear that, according to reports, 79-year-old John Lithgow might be taking on the role of Dumbledore in the forthcoming Harry Potter TV series.
Initially, Richard Harris embodied the character of Albus Dumbledore, headmaster at Hogwarts, in the initial two ‘Harry Potter’ movies. After Harris’ passing in 2002, Michael Gambon took over the role. Additionally, Jude Law portrayed a younger version of Dumbledore and Toby Regbo in the ‘Fantastic Beasts’ film series.
HBO responds
HBO has not officially confirmed the casting of John Lithgow for an upcoming series, only stating: “We acknowledge that the anticipation surrounding this high-profile production may lead to a lot of rumors and speculation. We’ll only verify details once we’ve completed negotiations.
Who stars?
Although no official cast announcements have been made yet, IMDb lists John Lithgow as Dumbledore. Still, this hasn’t stopped the buzz surrounding potential cast members. Some rumors suggest Paapa Essiedu could play Potions Master Snape, Sharon Horgan and Lesley Manville for Deputy Headmistress Minerva McGonagall, Brett Goldstein as Hogwarts’ gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid, and Cillian Murphy in the role of Lord Voldemort. The speculation continues to swirl.
Approximately 32,000 children submitted their audition tapes for the key roles of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley.
Release info
As for now, there’s no announced release date for the Harry Potter TV show, but it’s anticipated to premiere on HBO around the end of 2026 or beginning of 2027. Interestingly, the series will be filmed at the same places where the movies were made, specifically in Leavesden, which is located in London.
Details: decade-long series
As a devoted cinephile, I was thrilled when the formal declaration about the revival of the Harry Potter series in 2023 revealed that it would span over a decade, staying true to the essence of the original novels.
As a devoted admirer of the ‘Harry Potter’ book series by J.K. Rowling, I eagerly anticipate this upcoming Max Original series. Hailing from Warner Bros. Television, it’s set to grace our screens in the US and beyond once production is complete. This decade-long journey will be a faithful reinterpretation of Rowling’s magical masterpiece, maintaining the same level of epic storytelling, love, and dedication that has made this franchise a global phenomenon. A fresh cast will lead a new generation of fans into an enchanting world filled with intricate details, cherished characters, and iconic locales that have captivated Potterheads for over two decades. Each season will be true to the original books, introducing Harry Potter’s incredible adventures to new audiences worldwide while preserving the timeless charm of the classic films, which remain accessible globally.
