Acclaimed Emmy-winning actor John Lithgow is officially stepping into the legendary wizard\u2019s shoes for the upcoming Harry Potter series.<\/p>\n<p>During a recent appearance on the SmartLess podcast, hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett, Lithgow confirmed his casting and shared his excitement about taking on the role. While following in the footsteps of Michael Gambon and Richard Harris is no small feat, the actor isn\u2019t intimidated. Instead, he sees it as an incredible opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Although the full cast lineup for the series hasn\u2019t been announced yet, Lithgow assured fans that he will indeed portray Albus Dumbledore. The shooting schedule is yet to be finalized, but with production set to take place in England, he noted that travelling from the U.S. will be manageable. Fans of historical dramas might remember Lithgow from his portrayal of Winston Churchill in The Crown.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the challenge of playing Dumbledore, Lithgow seemed unfazed. He remarked, \u201cYou know, Dumbledore, he\u2019s kind of this nuclear weapon. He only goes off very, very occasionally. And I don\u2019t think it\u2019s gonna be that hard a job.\u201d At nearly 80 years old, Lithgow sees this long-term role as an exciting new chapter in his career. \u201cIf this is indeed a seven or eight-year-long job, it\u2019s a wonderful way to grow old as an actor,\u201d he reflected, joking that the alternative would be playing \u201can Alzheimer\u2019s patient with a lot of weeping middle-aged children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As anticipation builds, Lithgow is immersing himself in J.K. Rowling\u2019s novels to better understand the character. \u201cI\u2019m halfway through the second of these seven novels,\u201d he admitted, acknowledging that he still has a lot to catch up on. Meanwhile, fans eagerly await news about the casting of Harry, Hermione, and Ron, hoping the new trio can live up to the magic created by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint.<\/p>\n<p>The series will be helmed by Succession showrunners Francesca Gardiner and Mark Mylod, adding to the excitement surrounding this ambitious reboot. While there\u2019s still much to be revealed, one thing is certain\u2014Lithgow\u2019s portrayal of Dumbledore is set to bring a fresh yet familiar magic to the Wizarding World.<\/p>\n<p>Download HitFame app for more entertainment updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Harry Potter universe is getting a fresh start, and with it comes a new Albus Dumbledore.
