It’s unlikely that David Tennant will appear in the remake of the Harry Potter TV series. Tennant, who played Barty Crouch Jr. in the movies, recently expressed skepticism about rejoining the franchise. His stance as an advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community has put him at odds with author J.K. Rowling, who is an executive producer on the new series. Given this situation, Tennant believes he may not be asked back to reprise his role. So far, Rowling has remained silent about this latest development in her ongoing online dispute with Tennant and others.
At Planet Comicon 2025 in Kansas City over the weekend, Tennant shared his thoughts during a Q&A session with fans about reprising his role as Crouch. When asked if he would consider it if offered, he replied, “Well, the stories are compelling. I believe my part has been played out. It seems there’s an executive producer who isn’t particularly fond of me, I was told…
David told off J.K Rowling very very well

In that location, Tennant was interrupted as the crowd applauded, and he proceeded to the following query. Interestingly, the actor has numerous upcoming projects to publicize, coincidentally among them another portrayal associated with a contentious writer — Good Omens. However, it is evident that Tennant stands firmly for LGBTQIA+ rights, making his stance clear to all.
Tenant consistently shows strong, open support for the LGBTQIA+ community, and in recent times, has made a conscious effort to acknowledge non-binary individuals by donning a badge bearing the non-binary pride flag during public events. This visible show of unity earned Tenant the “Celebrity Ally” award at the 2024 British LGBT Awards last year.
Indeed, this stance has placed Tennant in disagreement with Rowling, who has been vocal about transgender issues over the last five years, aligning herself with conservative activists and commentators. Many previous Harry Potter actors have distanced themselves from Rowling due to this shift, and she has criticized them on social media in response. Tennant is no exception; over time, as Tennant has expressed his support for all genders publicly, Rowling has reacted to his statements in her posts on X (formerly known as Twitter.)
Fans find it challenging to back the revival of Harry Potter, given J.K. Rowling’s active role in the project. Many are adamant about withholding their support due to her controversial views, which has led to a promise of boycotting the series as long as she financially benefits from it. This stance also poses a potential risk for actors who join the cast, as they might face criticism from the LGBTQIA+ community for perceived endorsement of Rowling’s alleged misinformation and intolerance.
Currently, the new adaptation of the beloved series “Harry Potter” is being produced, and it’s anticipated to premiere on HBO and Max sometime in the upcoming year. Meanwhile, production for Season 3 of “Good Omens” is underway, but as of now, a release date for this season on Prime Video has yet to be disclosed.
