The upcoming HBO Harry Potter series recently announced its casting, featuring prominent roles filled by John Lithgow, Janet McTeer, and others. It aims to explore the wizarding world in depth, with each season adapting a single book. J.K. Rowling will serve as an executive producer, alongside Francesca Gardiner and Mark Mylod from Succession. The series is committed to maintaining the legacy of the original films while appealing to both new and existing audiences, further solidifying Harry Potter's cultural impact.
Joining John Lithgow's Professor Dumbledore will be Janet McTeer as Professor McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, Nick Frost as Hagrid, Luke Thallon as Professor Quirrell, and Paul Whitehouse as Mr. Filch.
Exploring every corner of the wizarding world, each season will bring Harry Potter and its incredible adventures to new and existing audiences, a press release reads.
The original, classic, and cherished films will remain at the core of the franchise, so don't look for any huge aesthetic pivots from the movies/theme parks/merch that still do gangbusters at Universal Studios.
