John Lithgow in Talks for Dumbledore Role in HBO’s ‘Harry Potter’ Series

Hey everyone, here’s the latest scoop from Hollywood. According to insiders, John Lithgow—who’s known for winning multiple Emmys and playing Winston Churchill in “The Crown”—is about to take on the role of Professor Albus Dumbledore in HBO’s brand-new Harry Potter TV series. Filming is expected at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, the same place they shot the original films.

This new adaptation aims to explore each book in detail over the course of a decade. HBO hasn’t officially confirmed the casting, but they did say they’ll only comment once deals are final. Fans are buzzing about Lithgow being American instead of British, but most agree he’s got the range to pull off the legendary wizard. Keep an eye out for more updates as we get closer to the rumored release in late 2026 or early 2027. Stay tuned.
