The plan of HBO With the new series of Harry Potter It cannot be more ambitious: a season to adapt every novel of JK Rowling With a loyalty that films could never afford Admonitor And, therefore, a recovery that monopolizes a decade. It may be this intimidating that is causing some difficulties to Harry Potter Confirms the cast, in addition to having quickly to sign Francesca Gardiner AS showrunner Already Mark Mylod As a trusted director.
Both come from Succession And they have been designated to orchestrate a fiction of enormous complexity, which also requires a large cast. So, while thousands of children are treated with the aim of identifying a new protagonist trio (they form Harry, Ron and Hermione and originally interpreted Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint y Emma Watson), HBO has been able to proceed more quickly as regards Hogwarts teachers.
In this case it was not so decisive to choose British interpreters consecrated as during the initial films. Rowling, who maintains a creative consultancy role despite the refusal by the fandom from his Transfobo of activismHe put that condition in 2000, but in the face of the new adaptation we come across the fact that one of the confirmed actors will be John Lithgow To interpret Albus Dumbledore.
The director of Hogwarts played in films of Richard Harris y Michael Gambon After the death of this, whose actor has a great prestige but is in no way British, but American.
Lithgow is one of the interpreters of the first approximate confirmed after months of speculation. The chain revealed who will be the faces of Hogwarts’ main professors, confirming those who said and adding a little suggestion.
It was Gardiner himself who did it, in a declaration collected by the American media. “We are pleased to announce John Lithgow, Jatt Mcter, Paaha Estian, Niccrist, Lual Calhristian AS Albus Sileblere, Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape, Rubeus Hagrid, Qurinus Quirrell Y Filch“.
Janet McTeer will therefore be the one who plays Minerva McGonagall, professor of transformations and head of the Gryffindor who was played by the cinema Maggie Smith. McTeer is an equally famous actress, having been appointed for Oscar Two occasions (of Tugerweed y Albert Nobbs) and let you see inside Ozark or to the saga Impossible mission. As for the rest of those confirmed outside Lithgow, it is proudly British.
Nick Frost overcomes a Robbie Coltrane Like Hagrid, Hogwarts Rangers, after working with a well -known career in the cinema with Simon Pegg In the Croissant trilogy (Zombies Party, Fatal Arma y Welcome to the end of the world).
Paapa Essiedu was the first confirmed actor of the series, linked to Snape as a professor of potions of Hogwarts and the faithful enemy of the protagonist from his entry to school. Essiedu played an exceptional role in an HBO series celebrated as I could destroy you, And in the series he will have to take over from an actor dear as Rickman on the field (Deceased just like Smith, Coltrane and Gambon)
All those mentioned had already been at least rumors, but the last two suppose that new additions (and not well known, being two young British actors). Luke Thallon Will be Professor Quirrelll (Ian Hart In Harry Potter and the philosopher’s stone) as a professor of defense against the dark arts, after appearing previously The favorite.
Paul Whitehouse, finally, has been seen in Never discover Stalin’s death or the version of Tim Burton From Alice in Wonderland. He will interpret the Hogwarts Arisk concierge, always accompanied by his cat Mrs. Norris, once he put a face David Bradley In Warner’s films.
In front of the first season (which would adapt Rowling’s first book) would be difficult to Warwick Davis. The identity of the students is still unknown.
