Accio Harry Potter casting rumors!

The castings have started flying in for the HBO reboot series.

HBO’sHarry Potterreboot series started announcing cast members as production prepares to begin this summer.

Harry Potter and Cillian Murphy

But I’m very excited.

Some wonderful people are turning their attention back to ‘Harry Potter.’

That’s why it’s been such a hard decision.

John Lithgow - Albus Dumbledore

I’ll be about 87 years old at the wrap party, but I’ve said yes."

As Essiedu is a Black actor, his casting marks a race swap from Snape’s usual white portrayal.

He serves as a friendly and caring figure to the Golden Trio across the seven books.

Paapa Essiedu - Severus Snape

Goldstein does not have the typical larger build that would be expected for the half-giant Hagrid.

As Quirrell doesn’t survive the first book, Murphy would likely only appear in Season 1.

The Oscar-winning actor previously appeared inPeaky Blinders,Oppenheimer,28 Days Later, andBatman Begins.

Janet McTeer - Minerva McGonagall

Thats a wonderful suggestion.

I would be all in favor of Cillian.

As such, any rumors regarding who will play the iconic villain for the foreseeable future are likely baseless.

Brett Goldstein - Rubeus Hagrid
