The much-anticipated revival of the Harry Potter series by HBO now boasts at least one confirmed actor, who is eager to bring a legendary character to life. While HBO hasn’t revealed many details about the cast of this debatable remake, a name has emerged that was said to be in discussions for the Harry Potter series. The six-time Emmy Award-winning actor, John Lithgow, is reportedly in negotiations to portray the adored headmaster of Hogwarts in the upcoming HBO reboot of Harry Potter. Lithgow has now publicly acknowledged these rumors, confirming his commitment to staying at Hogwarts for a significant period.
In an interview with Screen Rant, actor John Lithgow revealed his plans to portray Dumbledore in HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series. He also discussed his decision to dedicate a significant portion of his remaining professional years to this new adaptation. The television series aims to adapt each book into a full season, ensuring its longevity on air for several years. Lithgow remarked that he would be “approaching 87 years old at the wrap party.
I was taken aback when I received the call during the Sundance Film Festival – another film offer is on its way! This one’s tricky because it will significantly shape my final years, and that has me worried. Yet, I can’t contain my excitement. It seems the spotlight is returning to Harry Potter, which makes my decision tough. When the wrap party comes around, I’ll be nearly 87, but I’ve agreed to participate.
Lithgow is set to follow in the footsteps of Michael Gambon, Richard Harris, and Jude Law by portraying Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter’s live-action film adaptations on the big screen.
