HBO's highly anticipated Harry Potter TV series is making headway, with the first major casting announcement: the legendary John Lithgow will portray the iconic Professor Dumbledore. While not yet officially confirmed by HBO or Warner Bros., Lithgow himself confirmed his involvement in an interview with ScreenRant.
Lithgow described the role as a significant undertaking, stating it will "define the last chapter of [his] life." He expressed excitement about joining the project, highlighting the renewed focus on the Harry Potter universe. He humorously noted that he'll be approximately 87 years old by the wrap party.

This casting marks a significant step for the series, although the lack of a full cast suggests production is still some time off. The series will re-adapt J.K. Rowling's books with an entirely new cast, including Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and other familiar Hogwarts characters. Rowling will serve as executive producer alongside Neil Blair and Ruth Kenley-Letts.
Lithgow, a highly acclaimed actor known for roles such as Dick Solomon in *3rd Rock from the Sun* and Winston Churchill in *The Crown*, brings a wealth of experience to the role. His Emmy-winning performance as Churchill further solidifies his suitability for this iconic character.
