Approximately two years have passed since Warner Bros. Discovery announced their plans for a Harry Potter TV series. While information about the HBO production has been released sporadically, it appears that things are finally moving forward. Interestingly, John Lithgow was recently mentioned as a potential choice for Albus Dumbledore, and now he himself has confirmed his casting in the series. This news is thrilling enough, but what truly delights me are the heartfelt sentiments he expressed during the confirmation of his role.
79-year-old John Lithgow enthusiastically revealed his participation in the forthcoming Harry Potter television series during an interview with Screen Rant. During the conversation, he recounted the moment he learned he had secured the role, expressing his excitement about joining the project. In essence, it’s clear that the Academy Award-nominated actor is eager to put on the famous beard and headmaster robes.
It was completely unexpected when I received a call during the Sundance Film Festival, offering me another film role. This opportunity will significantly impact my final years, which is why making a decision wasn’t easy. However, I am thrilled about it because Harry Potter is once again gaining attention from remarkable individuals. Despite being 87 by the wrap party, I have agreed to take on this new challenge.
The well-known actor has had a very successful career and continues to be sought after. It’s amusing to imagine that he could still find himself taken aback when securing a new job offer. What I appreciate most is his genuine honesty about feeling a bit anxious when portraying Professor Dumbledore. He even discusses the fact that he will be somewhat older by the time the series concludes. For years, I have been a supporter of the actor from Terms of Endearment, and this heartfelt transparency only strengthens my respect for him.
