HBO slowly assembled his cast for his ambitious Harry Potter Restoration of the series and the last name that is floating is exciting. British actor and comedian Nick Frost According to reports, it is close to the blockage of the role of Rubeus Hagrid, the beloved guardian of the half giant of Hogwarts.

According to the report, Frost “is approaching an agreement” to deal with the iconic character, originally given life to the deceased Robbie Coltrane In Warner Bros’s films while HBO has not yet made something official, the test path is becoming more difficult to ignore.

Last week, fans started connecting the points after Frost dropped an Instagram post on March 20: “It is happening, it is actually happening”. Combine it with the recent social media of Frost, which includes cast members John Lithgow AND Paapa Essiedu.

However, HBO is playing him safe. In a declaration, the network said: “We appreciate the fact that such a high profile series will attract many items and speculations. While we make the way through pre-production, we will confirm only the details while we end the offers”.

If it is officially signing, Frost would join an already intriguing cast formation. As previously reported, Lithgow is destined to play Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer It is on board like Professor McGonagall and Essiedu will interpret Severus Snape.

The new Harry Potter The series was developed by the writer and showrunner Francesca Gardiner (Succession, His dark materials) and executive director and producer Mark Mylod. HBO has previously described the project as a “faithful adaptation” of a decade that “will dive in depth in each of the iconic books”.

I think Frost is an excellent choice for Hagrid and I would like to see him take on the role. The boy is a great actor who will bring warmth to the character that fans will love.
