Playing Dumbledore in Harry Potter Series ‘Not Easy Decision’

John Lithgow has officially confirmed in a recent interview with ScreenRant that he will be taking on the iconic role of Albus Dumbledore in HBO’s upcoming “Harry Potter” television series. This news comes after reports from Variety earlier this month suggested that Lithgow was in talks for the role. The veteran actor will be stepping into the shoes of previous Dumbledore portrayals by Richard Harris and Michael Gambon in the original film franchise.

In his interview, Lithgow expressed his surprise at being offered the role, stating, “It came as a total surprise to me. I just got the phone call up at the Sundance Film Festival, and it was not an easy decision because it’s going to define me for the last chapter of my life, I’m afraid. But I’m very excited.” Despite the weight of the role, Lithgow ultimately decided to accept, sharing his enthusiasm for the project.

With plans to adapt each book in J.K. Rowling’s series into its own season, the “Harry Potter” HBO series is set to run for seven seasons, meaning at least seven years of commitment for Lithgow, who is currently 79 years old. The character of Dumbledore plays a significant role in every installment of the series, making it a substantial commitment for the actor.

Aside from Lithgow, reports suggest that Paapa Essiedu is a top contender to play potions professor Severus Snape in the series. The trio of main characters – Harry, Hermione, and Ron – are expected to be portrayed by newcomers, with Warner Bros. holding an open casting call for young actors aged between 9 and 11 in 2024.

As production gears up for the highly anticipated series, fans can look forward to seeing John Lithgow embody the wise and enigmatic Albus Dumbledore on screen, bringing a fresh perspective to the beloved character.
