HBO confirmed the cast of key characters for the upcoming Harry Potter TV series, including Oscar-nominee John Lithgow as Dumbledore and Janet McTeer as McGonagall. The show will be led by Francesca Gardiner and Mark Mylod. With each of the seven books expected to have its own season and a release slated for 2026, around 32,000 children auditioned for the main trio roles. The adaptation has faced controversy since its announcement in 2023 due to the recent film series conclusion.
The remake of the Harry Potter series is being led by writer and showrunner Francesca Gardiner and director and executive producer Mark Mylod.
Oscar-nominee John Lithgow will take on the role of the Hogwarts headmaster and Janet McTeer will play McGonagall, the transfiguration teacher.
