This is the biggest project of the MAX platform in the coming years: the adaptation of a new series of books Harry Potter by JK Rowling. After a successful film franchise, fans can expect a more faithful transposition of the literary series and fiction that could last ten years on the small screen.
While the casting is finally underway to find the new Harry, Ron and Hermione, some of the iconic actors of the saga have already spoken several times about this pharaonic project.
Thus, Daniel Radcliffe has confirmed that he will not be taking part in the series, while two actors from the original film saga are set to return. And maybe that’s not all!
Gary Oldman as Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series?
Gary Oldman, who plays Sirius Black, one of the favorite characters of Harry Potter fans, was interviewed about the project of this series. The 66-year-old actor explained this “Nobody contacted” For a potential return to date, but he wasn’t against it.
“I love Sirius.”he told her IndieWire At the 76th Emmy Awards, for which he was nominated for the series Slow Horses. “It wasn’t represented enough, it showed up and then evaporated.”
The character of Sirius Black was mainly featured in two films of the saga, namely Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, after his appearances in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. – Part 2 was too short.
Gary Oldman knows very well that he will not be called back to play Sirius Black in the Harry Potter series, and he wants to believe that all the characters in the saga will have a new face. Therefore, he thinks that none of the former actors from the saga will return.
But there is another character he could play and wanted to embody, another mythical figure from the saga: Maybe in a few years I’ll be able to play Dumbledore..
It remains to be seen if the leaders of HBO and Warner Bros. Discovery will consider this possibility or decide to bring in an entirely new original cast for the Harry Potter series.
