In the wake of months of speculation, HBO announced the casting of the new show on Harry Potter.
Although it has not included a complete list of distribution members, the network has confirmed that John Lithgow will play Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer will play Minerva McGonagall.
Paapa Essiedu will play Severus snape, Nick Frost will play Rubeus Hagrid, Luke Thallon will play in defense against the teacher of dark arts Quirrell and Paul Whitehouse will play at Hogwarts, Argus Filch.
In addition, John’s cast was not a surprise, because he had previously revealed his new role to Screen diatriber.
“It was a total surprise to me. I received the telephone call to the Sundance Film Festival for another film, and it was not an easy decision, because it will define me for the last chapter of my life, I am afraid,” he said.
“But I am very excited. Wonderful people reflect their attention to” Harry Potter “.”
In the meantime, Francesca Gardiner, the showrunner and director of the Mark Mylod series, said: “We are delighted to have such an extraordinary talent on board, and we can’t wait to see them bring these beloved characters to a new life.”
