In the world of Harry Potter, there is one character who has been portrayed by legendary actors throughout the years - Albus Dumbledore, the powerful sorcerer and headmaster of Hogwarts. And now, with the announcement of a Harry Potter TV show in the works, fans are eager to know who will take on the iconic role.
According to reports, a Hollywood great who won an Oscar almost a decade ago is the top contender for the role. This news has sparked passionate reactions from fans around the world, with some excited about the development and others already vowing to boycott the series.
As the anticipation grows for the casting of the golden trio - Harry, Ron, and Hermione - there have been suggestions that acting legend Mark Rylance could join the cast as Dumbledore. But there are also other huge names in the mix, such as Gary Oldman, Jared Harris, and Peter Capaldi, all of whom have been proposed by fans as potential candidates.
The role of Dumbledore was originally portrayed by Richard Harris in the first two Harry Potter films before his passing in 2002. He was then succeeded by Michael Gambon, who played the character for seven years. Now, Variety reports that Mark Rylance is the top choice for the role, although HBO has not confirmed any details.
While Mark may be at the top of HBO's wishlist, fans are still curious about other actors who could capture Dumbledore's commanding presence in the Great Hall of Hogwarts. Let's take a look at some of the top contenders.
Gary Oldman, who played Sirius Black in the franchise, has been suggested by fans due to his on-screen and off-screen bond with Daniel Radcliffe. In an interview, Gary even expressed his interest in playing Dumbledore in the future. Another fan favorite is Jared Harris, son of Richard Harris, who was the first actor to play Dumbledore on screen. However, Jared has stated that he has no interest in reprising his father's role.
Peter Capaldi, known for his role as Doctor Who, has also been mentioned as a potential candidate for Dumbledore. Some fans have even said that he would be perfect for the role. One fan stated that they can already envision how Peter would play the sorcerer. Another fan, who was initially not interested in the TV adaptation, changed their mind upon hearing the news of Peter's potential casting.
As the speculation continues, it remains to be seen who will ultimately take on the role of Dumbledore in the Harry Potter TV show. But one thing is for sure - whoever is chosen will have big shoes to fill, as the character has been beloved by fans for decades.
The role of Albus Dumbledore, the powerful sorcerer, has always been played by legendary actors. But as news of a Harry Potter TV show reboot surfaced, discussions about who will take on the iconic character have sparked a frenzy among fans worldwide. Some are thrilled about the reboot, while others have already declared their plans to boycott the HBO Max series entirely.
As the search for the perfect Dumbledore intensifies, it has been rumored that Academy Award winner and Hollywood great, Mark Rylance, is at the top of the list to play the wise and enigmatic Hogwarts headmaster. But fans have suggested other notable names, including Gary Oldman, Jared Harris, and Peter Capaldi, who could also do justice to the beloved character.
Richard Harris was the first to bring Dumbledore to life on the big screen, but after his passing, Michael Gambon took over the role for seven years. Now, with the possibility of a new Dumbledore in the TV series, fans are speculating about who will be the perfect fit to embody the greatest wizard of his time.
While Variety reports that Mark Rylance is at the top of HBO's wishlist, other contenders have been suggested, including Gary Oldman, who has already made a lasting impression on fans with his portrayal of Sirius Black in the third and fifth films. Many believe that his real-life bond with Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter, would make him an excellent choice for Dumbledore.
Jared Harris, son of the late Richard Harris, has also been mentioned as a potential candidate for the role. However, the 63-year-old actor has seemingly already ruled himself out, stating that the films were fantastic and should be left alone.
Another contender is Peter Capaldi, who has been praised for his portrayal of the Doctor in Doctor Who. Some fans have even shared their excitement about the possibility of him playing Dumbledore, saying that they can already envision how he would bring the character to life.
As the speculation continues, one thing is for sure, the role of Dumbledore is highly coveted, and whoever is chosen will have some big shoes to fill. But as we wait for the official announcement, fans can't help but speculate and share their opinions on who they believe would make the perfect Dumbledore for the Harry Potter TV series.
