Harry Potter Legend’s Son Slams HBO’s Reboot: ‘No Thank You’
Fervent Harry Potter devotees aren’t alone in expressing doubts about the necessity of HBO’s revamped series, as Jared Harris, son of the original Dumbledore, Richard Harris, has also expressed similar reservations. Richard Harris played the iconic role of Headmaster Dumbledore in Warner Bros.’ successful Harry Potter film series, appearing in the first two movies, “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” and “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.” After his death in 2002, Michael Gambon took over the role, portraying Dumbledore in all subsequent Harry Potter films.
