An article on who is applying for a rolehttps://www.joblo.com/harry-potter-tv...
Each season of the Harry Potter TV series is said to cover one of J.K. Rowling’s novels, for a total of seven seasons. While the movies were able to fit quite a lot in, there were plenty of moments cut from the novels that the TV series will finally be able to bring to life.
Although a YA book, most of the world's adults read and enjoyed Harry Potter right along with the youth from his very first first book. I don't imagine that Rowling ever dreamed of how big and world wide Potter would be when she sat at coffee shops scribbling his story on napkins. But here we are today - theme parks and known world wide. Thank you J K Rowling.
Series premier in 2026, but actors are signing on already.

(no indication of who made it yet)
In an interview with the Independent, Jared Harris was asked if he would be interested in playing Dumbledore, the role originated by his father Richard Harris in the first two Harry Potter films. The junior Harris responded, "I mean, why do it? I don't understand. The films were fantastic - leave them alone." However, he did acknowledge that there was still "a lot of storytelling" from the books that the films omitted.
Gary Oldman, who played Sirius Black in the film series, expressed interest in playing Dumbledore.
This is the second time that John Lithgow has shared a role with Sir Michael Gambon. They previously played Sir Winston Churchill in Churchill's Secret (2016) and The Crown (2016). The latter featured Harry Potter cast members Helena Bonham Carter and Imelda Staunton, as well as Jared Harris, son of original Dumbledore actor Richard Harris.
