Things are definitely looking up as HBO’s Harry Potter series moves into production, i. e. casting, and now many names are starting to appear as wanted for express roles.
Deadline has a new report that we can combine with the previous ones to round out the adult aspect of the cast list so far, or at least what HBO will be:
What this list implies is that some of those actors are expected to be a little younger, or even slightly younger, than the previous actors who took on those adult roles. Mark Strong, only 61, is indeed an attractive selection for the wizened Dumbledore.
Although Paapa Essiedu stood out because of his race, I heard some comments that he shouldn’t be Rogue because he is too young (34) and handsome, which is not exactly compatible with the nature of the character (no offense to the past). due to Alan Rickman).
None of those roles are officially cast, rather it is a wish list and actors who are intended to be contacted through WB for those roles. Still, this is the bulk of the lead instructor roles for the entire series, so it’s pretty important. Cillian Murphy as Voldemort isn’t on the list, it’s not literally a rumor, just whatever former Voldemort actor Ralph Fiennes said when asked who he thinks deserves an update.
Filming on the Harry Potter series is rarely expected to begin until 2026, with a release date planned for 2027. If HBO commits to the full seven-book series, given the spacing of seasons in the streaming era, we would be in the 2030s before this exhibit ends. It’s a little complicated to conceive, as is giving the green light to at least seven seasons of a series from the beginning, but it is probable, as is the series to attract an audience. But if it’s. . . bad, interest will possibly fade and possibly not last long enough to see the end. But I have to believe that it will start with an exceptionally high audience every time it arrives.
