Harry Potter TVs still have to throw most of his main characters, but the news only broke through the award-winning actor Emmy and Tony, Johnon Litgov, surrounds the role of Hogwarts director Albus Dumbledor.

This was exclusively reported by The deadlineAlthough the HBO network behind this upcoming series based on the hit novels of Anoan Kathleen Rowling, aka "FC Rowling", as well as the massively successful film franchise-gave the exit a difficult, uncombatable statement. "We appreciate that such a high -profile series will attract a lot of rumors and speculation," the FBO said. "As we manage through pre-production, we will only confirm the details because we are finalizing the deals."

If Litgov Whether Complete the playing of the mysterious, awkward and extraordinarily brilliant albus Persival Wolfrick Brian Dumbledor - a legendary wizard who once defended the magical world against the wicked wizard Grindelwald - he will be in good company. Richard Harris originated in the role in the first two Harry Potter films before dying in 2002, at that moment Michael Gambon (who died in 2023) He took the clothes as an irrelevant wizard. In the films "Fantastic Astswerers", Judas Lowe plays a younger version of Albus Dumbledore, though The larger saga "fantastic ASTSHERS" may or may not be alive and good at this point.

Regardless, Litgov will join the elite and a talented group of performers who previously played Dumbledore, but there will be one Huge Difference: Litgov would be the first American actor to play the famous British character.

When the original Harry Potter films started production, Anoan Kathleen Rowling insisted - at the time - the films to be "100% British", according to places such as The telegraph. Given this, it is a little surprising that a well -known American actor like Johnon Litgov is on the run to play the British character Albus Dumbledore, much less active in talks about the role. So, either Rowling has relaxed his stance on the British apostate or the British casting pool is not wide enough for Rowling, show's executive producer Mark Milod and the Francesca Gardiner show.

However, if you missed Litgov's (fairly -known) performance as a famous Briton, make sure that someone can deceive someone to think about being greeted by the whole pond. During the first season of the Netflix monarchic chronicle "Crown", which aired in 2016, Litgov showed Winston Frakin 'ChurchillOne of the most famous and beloved British prime ministers in Britain's history; He reiterated his role in the accompanying capacity in the second and third season (along with Claire Hoy as Queen Elizabeth II in the first two seasons and Olivia Coleman in the third). Litgov was, honestly, Great Like Churchill, so he is perfectly capable of playing Dumbledore. In fact, he would be a great choice for the role; He's incredibly talented! However, whether he is signing this project is uncertain this second.

If Johnon Litgov Whether Finished playing Albus Dumbledore, he has a very long journey in front of him. HBO's "harry potter" TV series should run for A whole decade And seven seasons, each of which will include one of the franchise's massive novels. (Well, the first few are not that Long, but the site is really starting to creep starting in the fourth book, "Harry Potter and fire from fire.") No other official casting West has been revealed about this writing, but Paapa Esedu was reportedly in talks to play Hogwart's potion master Severus Snape (Role comes from the deceased, the Great Alan Rickman), and /the film is going to have some Pretty good ideas For the actors Who could take over for Ralph Fienne and play the Dark Lord Voldemort.

That said, it's hard to discuss the Harry Potter TV series - and potential casting news - without touching the elephant in the room. Since 2020 rights. Every actor signed on this project will undoubtedly be asked about Rowling's views; Starswells from the original films, including the first Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe, shared their feelings As Rowling continues to share his. The reason the high -profile actors do not collect on this project can Come to the fact that the actors do not want to be besieged by questions about the attitudes of the woman who created all intellectual property, but that is, it should be said, assumption by my side.

However, it is worth noting that Harry Potter's legacy is a tricky thing these days, and that is something potentially members of the cast. May Think. Maybe, Only maybeThat is why an American is in talks to play Albus Dumbledore for the first time.

The original Harry Potter films, for the time being, are moving peacock.
