Harry Potter’s HBO reboot seems to have found its actor for Hagrid. So far, there have been notable casting choices, like John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore and Paapa Essidou as Severus Snape, but the complete cast is still not finalized. Currently, one of the most discussed actors for Hagrid is Nick Frost, known for his roles in “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz.” His comedic flair suits Hagrid’s character, who is portrayed as a fun-loving mentor to Harry. While there hasn’t been an official confirmation, many fans envision him in this role.
As for other characters, such as Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley, no casting decisions have been made yet, suggesting that new talent might be introduced for these iconic roles. Additionally, there is curiosity about Voldemort’s character, who can be portrayed by multiple actors due to his varied forms throughout the series.
Currently, HBO has not announced any premiere dates for the Harry Potter reboot, and with filming yet to begin, details about the cast and storyline remain under wraps.
