    News John Lithgo

    Possibility of casting in the role of Albus Dumbledore in the new Harry Potter

    The TV series has raised concern among fans of the franchise, pointing to a somewhat morbid fact that many can see history repeating. The reaction to Lithgow entering final negotiations to step into the headmaster’s robe at Hogwarts has been pretty positive, but Dexterstar may need to live until he is 90 years old to complete the entire series Some people point out that it is highly sexual.

    Actors are working more in the industry than ever before. Samuel L. Jackson, Harrison Ford, Anthony Hopkins and others continue to appear in several new projects a year, with nearly 250 years of age. Therefore, it is very likely that a person currently 79 years old will step into the camera within ten years. However, fans especially compared to the first star in the role, Richard Harris, who played the role. This places a pathological perspective on selecting some of its older actors. As explained by Amazing_Cover_7745:

    “He’s an incredible actor, but I’m worried if he’s too old. We might run another Richard Harris situation. He’s going to make this series. By the time I close, I’ll be 90.”

    This was echoed by @adaminhtowntx. “Lithgow is great, but he’s 79. Don’t cast another actor as Dumbledore. Others added similar comments, but Richard Harris said he was more likely than Lithgow died in 2002. He also pointed out that he was seven years younger. Lithgow.

    Lithgow’s Dumbledore casting has one competing bone

    A fresh TV series based on JK Rowling’s beloved novel brings a whole new vision of the magical world to the screen, and one of the most important and discussed aspects of the series is the number one important and important that has already been portrayed. This is a cast of roles. For many, he is an irreplaceable actor. One of the things that has been raised in many comments about the possibility of the cast as Lithgow Dumbledore is the simple fact that many fans believe the character should be played by Britt, not American.

    In one discussion thread on X/Twitter, @Charlesancelle said: Another @lordbotha combines this complaint with the aforementioned issues with Lithgow’s advance years and simply says, “He is American and very… very old.”

    Actor Lithgow, using his mid-Atlantic voice and towering heights, carved out a clear film role as a hero and villain.

    It was reported that Lithgow’s casting was in its final stages, but the deal will clearly not be made until an official announcement is made by HBO and Warner Bros. Discovery. Several other names have been in the frame for previously coveted roles, and Mark Rylance was a nearly confirmed choice for the studio until the actor took over the role following the sad death of his wife last month. With the new series expected to start filming later this year, it won’t take long for the official casting to be announced.
