Jason Isaacs, best known for his role as Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies, recently revealed that he’s aware of some of the casting decisions for Max’s upcoming Harry Potter series. Although the full cast hasn’t been officially announced yet, Isaacs hinted that the team has chosen top-notch actors.
“Oh, I know who they’re casting. They’re incredible actors,” Isaacs said in an interview with ScreenRant. While he didn’t give away any names, he added, “I know some of them, yeah. And they’re incredible actors.” His comments have got fans talking, but Warner Bros. and Max haven’t made any official casting announcements yet.
While Isaacs didn’t share any names, rumors suggest a few familiar faces for key roles. Reports indicate that John Lithgow is in talks to play Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore, while Paapa Essiedu is reportedly discussing the role of Severus Snape, the potions professor known for his complex story.
These casting rumors remain unconfirmed. The main roles of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley are still a mystery. Fans are speculating about who might play the famous trio, but for now, nothing is finalized.
Mark Mylod, known for his work on “Succession” and “Game of Thrones”, serves as the showrunner for the Harry Potter series. Isaacs praised Mylod’s talent and leadership.
“It’s being done by the same people who did the films, and Mark Mylod’s running it, who is a brilliant showrunner,” Isaacs said. “I worked with him years ago on Entourage, but he did lots of Game of Thrones. We did Succession as well. It’s a phenomenally talented man, and they don’t need any advice from me.”
Mylod serves as the showrunner, executive producer, and writer for the series, collaborating with Francesca Gardiner, known for her writing on “His Dark Materials”.
J.K. Rowling, the author of the “Harry Potter” books, is executive producing the series through her company Brontë Film and TV. She is joined by Neil Blair, Ruth Kenley-Letts, and David Heyman, who was a key producer in the original film franchise.
