A Harry Potter remake is officially in the works, with HBO set to release a TV adaptation - but who could play every major character in the reboot?
In surprising news, Harry Potter is already getting a remake, 20 years after The Sorceror's Stone was released in cinemas. The news of an HBO Harry Potter TV reboot is certain to be divisive, both by those disturbed by JK Rowling's involvement and fans who do not wish the supposed sanctity of the original movies to be messed with. What's clear is that Warner Bros intend to cater to continued interest in the Wizarding World that saw the Fantastic Beasts movies earn $1.
15 Brian Cox As Albus Dumbledore The temptation to cast Jude Law as Dumbledore and to continue one of the few positives of the Fantastic Beasts movies must give way to the fact that he's simply not old enough. Book Dumbledore is a "classic wizard" with long white hair - no amount of aging up or CG could really get Law there.
10 Michaela Coel As Bellatrix Lestrange Helena Bonham-Carter clearly had a blast playing Bellatrix Lestrange, because Bellatrix is easily one of the least restrained characters in the Harry Potter universe. Bonham-Carter may have played her as somewhat wilder than the books, but the requirement with Bellatrix is to be both convincingly powerful and sadistic, but perversely enjoyable as a screen presence.
6 Tom Hardy As Mad-Eye Moody Like Bellatrix Lestrange, there is a significant "fun factor" when it comes to Alastor Moody that has to be considered when casting who would replace Brendan Gleeson. While Mad-Eye was painfully under-nourished in all but his debut movie, there is more to him in the Harry Potter books and a real opportunity to capture what makes him such a fan favorite character.
