As a film enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that the much-anticipated HBO Harry Potter TV series is expanding its talented ensemble, and here’s an interesting twist – they’re even reprising a familiar face from the original movies! The production for this exciting remake is in full swing, and it seems like we’ve got a fresh set of actors breathing new life into these iconic roles.
The young trio, Dominic McLaughlin stepping into Harry Potter’s shoes, Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley, and Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, are bringing their unique charm to the story. But it’s not just the young blood that’s captivating; we’ve also got some stellar veterans on board. John Lithgow is set to play the esteemed Albus Dumbledore, while Nick Frost will take on the lovable Hagrid!
Exciting times ahead for Potterheads like me!
As more actors are added to the cast, it’s confirmed that Warwick Davis is reprising his role as Filius Flitwick, the Charms professor at Hogwarts, in an upcoming project (as announced on the Harry Potter website). Throughout the eight Harry Potter films, Davis portrayed both Flitwick and the goblin Griphook. Intriguingly, Davis played two distinct versions of Flitwick: in The Philosopher’s Stone and The Chamber of Secrets, he appeared as an older wizard with long white hair and a beard, while his look drastically changed to shorter dark hair and a mustache for The Prisoner of Azkaban. At first, this new appearance was thought to be a different character, the choir master, but it was retained for Flitwick in subsequent films, essentially altering his appearance in a process known as retconning.
Together with Davis, a number of fresh faces were unveiled. This includes his previous character, Griphook the Gringotts goblin, who will be portrayed by Leigh Gill. Additionally, some Hogwarts students and teachers were introduced, including the confirmation that Professor Binns, previously missing from the films, will make his on-screen debut. Here’s the complete list of new cast members:
Apart from Davis, several other newcomers were recently announced! One of these is Leigh Gill who will play Griphook the Gringotts goblin, Davis’ previous character. We’ll also see some Hogwarts students and professors for the first time, like Professor Binns, a ghost who has been cut from the movies up until now but will finally appear on screen! Here’s the rundown of all the new cast members we can look forward to:
- Warwick Davis as Professor Flitwick
- Sirine Saba as Professor Sprout
- Richard Durden as Professor Binns
- Elijah Oshin as Dean Thomas
- Finn Stephens as Vincent Crabbe
- William Nash as Gregory Goyle
- Leigh Gill as Griphook
