John Litgow, who approaches the deal to play Dumbledore in HBO Harry Potter series
Harry Potter television series still has to discard most of their main characters, but the news just smashed that the actor who rewarded Amy and Tony, John Litgow Rules the role of the headmaster of Hogwarts Albus Dumbledore.
This was exclusively reported TermAlthough the HBO network, which stands behind this future series based on Joanna Kathleen Rowling Hit Ramans, he is “JK Rowling”, as well as a massively successful franchise movie-carved a short, non-profit statement. “We appreciate that such a loud series will lead a lot of rumors and speculation,” HBO said. “If we make your way through the previous production, we will only confirm the details when we refine the transactions.”
If Litgow do In the end, playing the mysterious, cricket and unusually brilliant albus of the Peaceive Wolf Dumbledore, a legendary master who once defended the magical world from the evil wizard Grindelwald – he will be in a good company. Richard Harris originated by role in the first two films “Harry Potter” before he died in 2002 and at this point Michael Gambon (who died in 2023) took the mantle as an unprecedented magician. In the films “Fantastic Beasts” Jud Low plays the younger version of Albus Dumbledore, though Larger “fantastic beasts” may be, and may not be alive and healthy at this point.
Whether the lithogs would join the elite and talented group of performers who used to play in Dumbledore but would be one vast The difference: Litgs will be the first American actor to play the British hero.
John Litgow would be the first American to play Albus Dumbledore – but he used to play a famous British
When the original “Harry Potter” films started the production, Joanna Kathleen Rowling insisted at the time – that the films would be “100% British”, as a result of outlets as Telegraph. With that in mind, it’s a bit strange that a famous American actor, like John Litgow, works to play the finally British character Albus Dumbledore, and even more actively in the negotiations for the role. Thus, either Rowling has reduced its position against the British all this, or the British pool is not wide enough for Rowing, Executive Producer Mark Miloda and Showurun Francesco Garden.
However, if you missed the ledge of Litgov (quite famous) as a famous British, be sure that he can deceive any person, thinking he was starting through a pond. During the first season Monarchy Chronicle Netflix “Crown”, which aired back in 2016, Litgs are depicted Winston Freakin ‘Churchillone of the most famous and favorite British Prime Ministers in the history of the United Kingdom; He repressed the role in the auxiliary capacity in the second and third season (together with Claire Foi as Queen Elizabeth II in the first two seasons and Olivia Kolman in the third). Litga, frankly, was great Like Churchill, so he is quite capable of playing Dumbledore. In fact, it will be a great choice for the role; He is incredibly talented! However, regardless of whether it signs this project, indefinitely at this second.
Harry Potter TV series will occur over a decade and adapt all seven books on a small screen
If John Litgow do In the end, playing Dumbledore’s albus, it is ahead of a long journey. Harry Potter television series on HBO is planned to work on A whole decade And seven seasons each of which will cover one of the massive novels of the franchise. (Well, the first are not which The long, but the number of pages really begins to crawl, starting with the fourth book “Harry Potter and Fire Cup”. PAL Esed allegedly negotiated to play . Pretty good ideas about the actors Which could take over Ralph Fienne and play the dark Lord Waldemort.
Given this, it is difficult to discuss the Harry Potter series – and the potential news about the casting – not affecting the elephant in the room. Since 2020 Joanna Catlin Rowling – which, again, prefers to stylize itself as “JK Rowling” – expressed some sincerely upset views on transgender women, making it clear that it does not support the transgender community, saying that it is just worth it for Women’s Women’s Law. Any actor who signs this project will undoubtedly ask about Rowling’s views; Stars from original movies, including the first ever Harry Potter history, Daniel Radcliffe, shared their feelings As Rowling continues to share its own. The reason that loud actors do not flock into this project could Come on, the actors do not want him to be possessed by questions about the views of a woman who created all intellectual property, but that is, I must say, the assumption on my part.
However, it should be noted that the heritage of “Harry Potter” is a difficult thing these days and this is something potential acting skills power Consider. May Just maybeThat is why the American is negotiating to play Albus Dumbledore for the first time.
The original “Harry Potter” films are still on the peacock.
