“I might destroy you,” and “Paapa Echedeu from Lazarus’ project will be reportedly reportedly reportedly told in a run to play Professor Snape, famous for bringing it to Alan Rickman’s film screen. There were many rumors that this was the case.
Warner Bros. has an open casting call to find the key roles Harry, Ron and Hermione have been running for a while.
However, according to deadlines, the series could have focused on the employment of the first almost identification, as it was closer to the deal that John Lithgow, who was recently seen in “Conclave,” played Hogwarts Principal Albus Dumbledore in the series. It has sex.
To give him his full name, Professor Ulfric Brian Dumbled of Albus Percival is also the founder and leader of the Order of Phoenix, an organization dedicated to the battle with Lord Dark Wizard Voldemort.
And while he is a powerful wizard, he is also a complicated wizard. It had both a relationship with former Dark Magic troublemaker Gellert Grindelwald and antagonistic dynamics.

In the film, the character was first performed by Richard Harris, and Michael Gambon stepped on Harris after his death in the third film. In the “Fantastic Beast” film, a young Dumbledore is played by Judelow.
Lithgow is the first American to portray Dumbledore on screen, but it’s not that he doesn’t have British characters and history.
HBO is somewhat naturally stuck with blankets that refuse to confirm anything.
“We appreciate that such a well-known series draws a lot of rumors and speculation. As we go through pre-production, we only check the details when we complete the transaction.”
What is the story of the Harry Potter TV series?

Here is the show’s official HBO statement:

It features a new cast to lead a new generation of fandoms full of fandoms that have been loved for over 25 years and are full of fans of the much-loved characters. Every season, Harry Potter and these incredible adventures bring to new audiences around the world, but the original classic and precious films remain at the heart of the franchise and are now available for viewing globally. It will become. ”
The series is created by Francesca Gardiner and produced by executives after HBO has conducted an extensive search for the right showrunner. Mark Mylod produces and directs multiple episodes of the HBO series in connection with Brontë Filmand TV and Warner Bros. Television. The show will be filmed at Warner Bros. The Leavesden Studios facility is located in the outskirts of London, UK.
Who else is rumored in the Harry Potter TV series?

Alongside Essiedu, he has deep roots in the British Theatre, and through the diversity of Mark Rylance, an actor who can be seen in films such as The BFG, Ready Player One, Dunkirk, Bridge of Of, etc. There have been a lot of talk about it. Spy (he won an Oscar), potentially playing Dumbledore. These arguments didn’t seem to work.
On the less solid front, Lithgow’s “Conclave” co-star Ralph Fiennes (Vilunas Voldemort of 4 of the seven “Potter” films), suggesting anyone who can take over that character. (Even if he says it, please be happy to reply if asked).
Following speculation that “Oppenheimer” Oscar winner Chilean Murphy took on it, Fiennes was asked about the possibility on the TV show Watch What Happes Live. This is what he said:
“Chillian is a great actor. That’s a great suggestion. I’m sure everyone agrees with Chillian. Yes.”
At this point, the source of Hollywood reporters added that he is pouring cold water into the idea that Murphy is now in the process of thinking. That doesn’t mean he isn’t, it means no one wants to talk about it yet.
The biggest problem to gain more famous and therefore busy actors is the issue of commitment. Those participating will likely be signed for about 10 years. But we can imagine HBO causing a large amount of cash to invite stars to invite stars.
What about the problem with JK rolling?

The creator of “Potter” and original novelist JK Rowling is a major consideration here. a) She has the final say on what was adopted from the book, so she is a problematic person given her negative views on trans people.
This was the recent statement from HBO on the issue.
“Warner Bros. has been working with J.K. Rowling in the Harry Potter business for over 20 years. Her contributions were invaluable. We are once again proud to tell the story of “Harry Potter.” This is a heartwarming book that talks about the power of friendship, resolution and acceptance. JK Rowling has the right to express her personal views. We will continue to focus on developing new series that will only benefit from her involvement. ”
Fiennes (yes, he again) got heavier on the issue when he spoke to The New York Times in 2022.
“JK Rowling writes these amazing books about empowerment, about young children’s perceptions of themselves as human. It’s about being a better, stronger, more morally central person. It’s about how to become. Verbal abuse directed at her is disgusting and frightening. In other words, you can understand the perspectives that may make you angry about what she is saying about women. But that’s the case Not some obscene, uber-right fascists, just saying, “I’m a woman, I feel like a woman. I want to say I’m a woman.” And I understand where she came from. I’m not a woman though. ”
When will the Harry Potter series be on screen?
HBO CEO Casey Bloys recently said he hopes the show will debut in late 2026 or early 2027.
