John Lithgow He is entering the world of magicians and, although he is not minimizing the commitment, he is not too stressed in talking about the role of Dumbledore.
By appearing on the Podcast Smartless, Lithgow opened on his next role in HBO Harry Potter The TV series, which will cover all seven books in several seasons. The project has a huge and for Lithgow scope, it is not lost for him, especially in this phase of his career.
He said: “The logistics is a little frightening. I really had to think with difficulty whether to face it, but I also thought, well, I’m about to turn 80 next year. If this is really a seven or eight -year job, it is a wonderful way to grow old as an actor.
“I mean, the alternative is to be pulled out once a year to play a Alzheimer’s patient … and many death scenes with crying middle -aged children, you know.”
However, when it comes to the real work of being silent on the screen, Lithgow does not seem too discouraged.
“Dumbledore is a kind of nuclear weapon,” he said. “It only goes ahead very, very occasionally. I don’t think it will be such a difficult job, and we will go back and forth … logistics is a little frightening.”
It is worth noting that Lithgow has not yet finished the series of books. “I’m halfway through the second [book]”, He shared, which means that he did not hit the heaviest moments that show the complexity of the character, especially in subsequent books such as The half blood prince OR The order of the Phoenix.
Who knows, perhaps his perspective will move when he arrives at the showdown with Voldemort.
The Casting of Lithgow made news at the beginning of this year while the first official actor confirmed for the restart of the HBO. His involvement has also marked a remarkable movement from the completely British cast of the original films. Since then, Paapa Essiedu According to reports, he joined himself as Snape, and Janet McTeer Like McGonagall.
Hbo’s Harry Potter The series is still in early pre-production and aims at a premiere of 2026 or 2027. The long-term plan is ambitious: a season per book, told over a decade.
Dumbledore is not the heaviest role in the saga, but it is essential-and with the range and the presence of Lithgow, it will be fascinating to see what leads to the part. Clearly it is not taking it slightly. He is not just losing sleep.
What is honestly? It could be the type of donst energy energy.
