While his return to the wizard world is still a few years away, Harry Potter fans may have caught the golden snitch at the rumoured factory when HBO began squeezing casting. Following the deadline, six-time Emmy winner John Lithgow is approaching his contract to play Professor Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series.
Groundbreaking casting of iconic characters like Dumbledore
There are very few role model/mentor numbers in writing fiction as well as Professor Dumbledore. Whether you grew up in books or films, many people around the world can relate to lessons instilled in every student at Hogwarts by Harry, his friends and his fearless leader. Masu.
Now, if John Lithgow casts as Dumbledore, on the way to get another generation in the same way that Harry Potter’s new era was all enchanted as children, then the new first one is will be achieved.
Lithgow will be the first American to play one of the most iconic UK-based characters ever. However, Lithgow has experience acting in the British dialect necessary for a series like Harry Potter. Lithgow’s recent victory for Emmy came for the portrayal of Winston Churchill’s crown. He played Roald Dahl on a London stage.
Many film and television enthusiasts are familiar with many of the British and Australian-born actors who play American characters easily (Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield Spider-Man, Margot of Wall of Wall Street) ·lobby). I even had the opportunity to reverse the well-known algorithms.
For the Harry Potter series, nothing is set in stone casting
With the Harry Potter series in the early stages of production in the late 2026-early 2027 debut window, HBO declined to comment on Dumbledore’s Lithgow rumours. Fans will likely have to wait quite a bit before any of Hogwarts’ iconic characters are officially cast. There have been months of speculation from fans who have chosen the best actors for all the characters of their beloved Harry Potter. More than 32,000 children reportedly sent tapes for the roles of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley.
Whether John Lithgow plays Dumbledore or Chilean Murphy as Voldemort, anyone who’s been cast in this potentially 10-year series puts a lot of pressure on them.
The chairman and CEO of Casey Bloys of HBO and MAX content, has already called Deep Diving a series in each of JK Rowling’s iconic books. In television format, all the characters could be fleshed out even more than the film would even attempt. By combining it with performances, many of these actors have to follow from the films mentioned above. Stepping into this project can’t put any more pressure on the actors as they step up.
