Here’s a paraphrased version of the content:
As the casting for the upcoming Harry Potter TV series progresses, it seems that Max has cast Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid in this highly anticipated adaptation.
If the deal is confirmed, Frost will step into the iconic role previously held by the late Robbie Coltrane, who portrayed Hagrid in all eight films of the Warner Bros. Harry Potter series.
While Max has not yet officially commented on the casting news, reports suggest that John Lithgow is set to play Professor Albus Dumbledore. A thorough global search for child actors for the lead roles has taken place, with over 32,000 young candidates auditioning.
Filming for the series is expected to begin in the summer. Francesca Gardiner (Succession, His Dark Materials, Killing Eve) is set to be the showrunner, and Mark Mirod (Succession, Game of Thrones, The Last of Us) will direct several episodes.
