In a recent chat with ScreenRant, John Lithgow officially announced he will portray Albus Dumbledore for HBO’s upcoming “Harry Potter” series. Previous reports from EbMaster suggested that Lithgow was considering this role. Lithgow now joins the lineage of actors like Richard Harris and Michael Gambon, who played the famous Hogwarts headmaster in the “Harry Potter” film saga.
Indeed, the part took me by complete surprise,” Lithgow remarked. “I received a call about it during the Sundance Film Festival, and it wasn’t an easy choice because it could shape the final phase of my career. However, I am thrilled and eager.
Lithgow explained, “There’s a surge of interest in ‘Harry Potter’ again, which is why it’s been a tough choice for me. When the wrap party comes around, I’ll be nearly 87 years old, but I’ve agreed to participate.”
Lithgow stated, “The renewed fascination with ‘Harry Potter’ has made my decision difficult. At the end of filming, I will be almost 87 years old, but despite this, I have decided to take part.
The “Harry Potter” HBO series intends to adapt each book from J.K. Rowling’s series into a separate season of television, thus the show aims to last for seven seasons. Given that Dumbledore appears in every installment, this could span at least seven years or more in John Lithgow’s life, as he is 79 years old currently.
Alongside Lithgow, there’s a strong possibility that HBO’s “Harry Potter” cast will feature Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape. The primary characters Harry, Hermione, and Ron might be portrayed by fresh faces; Warner Bros. has initiated an open casting call for children between 9 and 11 years old in the autumn of 2024.
As a devoted movie buff, I can’t help but share my excitement about HBO’s upcoming “Harry Potter” series. They’ve labeled it as a dedicated reinterpretation, promising a fresh cast to captivate a new wave of fans, all while preserving the intricate details and cherished characters that have enchanted ‘Harry Potter’ enthusiasts for more than two decades.

It seems like there are quite a few books stored at the back, and I’m just wondering if any of those happen to be Harry Potter books?
