John Lithgow Reveals He'll Play Dumbledore in HBO's Harry Potter TV Series

By HunterFeb 27,2025

HBO's highly anticipated Harry Potter TV series has reportedly secured its Dumbledore: the acclaimed John Lithgow. While HBO and Warner Bros. haven't officially confirmed the casting, Lithgow himself revealed in a ScreenRant interview that he's accepted the role, describing it as a significant undertaking in his career's final chapter. He expressed both excitement and apprehension, acknowledging the weight of the role and the long production timeline, stating he'll be nearing 87 by the wrap party.

This marks the first confirmed casting for the ambitious project, which aims to reimagine J.K. Rowling's beloved books for television with a completely new ensemble cast. Rowling will serve as an executive producer alongside Neil Blair and Ruth Kenley-Letts.

The lack of a full cast suggests the series is still in its early development stages, with production likely some time off. Lithgow, a veteran actor known for diverse roles including Dick Solomon in "3rd Rock from the Sun" and his Emmy-winning portrayal of Winston Churchill in "The Crown," brings considerable experience and prestige to the role.
