The casting for HBO’s Harry Potter TV series is still a mystery, despite speculations that filming will start towards the end of this year. One name that frequently pops up as a potential fit for the role of Sirius Black is _. It appears that he would be thrilled to accept the offer if it were extended to him, as fans seem eager to see him step into the shoes of such an iconic character.
Regarding your query about his potential role in the Harry Potter series, Barnes acknowledged the enthusiasm among fans for him to step into the shoes once filled by Gary Oldman. Indeed, he is fully conscious of the desire to cast him in this beloved franchise, and here’s what he had to say:
“I am well aware that fans are eager to see me in the Harry Potter series.
Over the past two decades, I’ve signed countless Harry Potter books and received numerous Gryffindor scarves as gifts. The amount of fan fiction I’ve been invited to contribute to is truly astounding. People have often mentioned that they would have liked me to play a younger version of Sirius Black in the Harry Potter series, but now that time has passed, I’m actually older than the character was in the books.
Could the ‘Harry Potter’ Series Have Found Its Sirius Black in Ben Barnes?
Among Andrew Garfield, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Barnes, the latter’s name frequently surfaces as a fan-chosen candidate for Sirius Black, long before the television series was under development. Although the actor hasn’t had any discussions about joining the show, he would undoubtedly be open to the opportunity. He further expressed:
I adore these books, and more than half of my professional journey has been rooted in interpreting stories from literature that I cherish. This particular instance feels no exception, yet I haven’t discussed it with anyone as of yet. It’s quite flattering, but strange to be celebrated for a task I haven’t actually undertaken.
At present, speculation about who will star in the Harry Potter TV series is swathed in mystery, much like whispers of Barnes potentially joining the cast. Similarly, various actors have been reported to be under consideration for key roles. For instance, Mark Strong and Mark Rylance are rumored to be discussing their potential roles as Dumbledore, Brett Goldstein has been mentioned for Hagrid, Paapa Essiedu could become Severus Snape, while Janet McTeer is speculated to play Minerva McGonagall.
As a film enthusiast, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and trepidation regarding potential castings for the upcoming remake of Harry Potter. While it’s possible that some of these choices might prove accurate, I have my doubts about many of them. One thing is certain though: whichever actors land the leading roles, they will undoubtedly be compared – whether favorably or unfavorably – to their predecessors in the iconic film series that wrapped up just 14 years ago, leaving a lasting legacy.
