Description:
Now we know Max's Harry Potter reboot will go into production in the summer
of 2025, a slew of rumored actors joining the cast has surfaced that could be the next line-up of Hogwarts faculty.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

When Max announced that it would be reimagining the Harry Potter movies for a decade-long series, it excited fans everywhere thanks to Max's global rollout
, especially those in the UK that could gain long-awaited access to one one
of the best streaming services . While theres still a while yet to go until
we can hop back on the Hogwarts Express (a 2027 launch is targeted ),
mentions of the next slew of Hogwarts professors have been floating around
and it could be one of our first major insights to the Harry Potter revival.

Though the upcoming Max series has been subjected to much scrutiny after it
was announced that J.K. Rowling would serve as executive producer following
her online controversy, it didnt stop 32,000 kids from auditioning for the leading trio ; Harry, Ron, and Hermione. After the shows enlisted writer Francesca Gardiner (Netflixs Succession ) revealed this and Maxs announcement of a summer 2025 production start date, a new slew of names started making rounds, starting with stage and screen actor Mark Rylance ( Bridge of Spies
). Wands at the ready. The upcoming HBO Original Series, #HarryPotter, will
be filming at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden with production beginning in Summer 2025 and coming to Max.

Among the speculation, Oscar winner Rylance is tipped to take on the role as everyones favorite headmaster Albus Dumbledore, a character brought to life
by Richard Harris and Michael Gambon in the movies, respectively. In addition to Rylance, Mark Strong is another name that cropped up as a potential fulfillment for the role, so it could go either way.

Following his appearance in Michaela Coels I May Destroy You , actor Paapa Essiedu surfaced as another name proposed to join the new faculty of Maxs Hogwarts, stepping into the shoes of everyones favorite potions master
Severus Snape. An exciting prospect, but one thats difficult to serve justice following Alan Rickmans unforgettable portrayal in the movies.

But its not just Oscar winners and BAFTA nominees that have entered the run
of rumors. Gardiner and series director Mark Mylod have apparently been
eyeing up Emmy nominee and creator of one of the best Apple TV Plus shows Bad Sisters , Sharon Horgan, for Professor Minerva McGonagell, as well as Emmy winner Brett Goldstein ( Ted Lasso ) for the loveable part-giant Rubeus
Hagrid.

The most interesting part about these possible casting choices is Gardiner
and Mylods dedication to reimagining the Harry Potter series in the best interest of the original literature works and that means casting roles as
they were canonically written.

According to Deadline , this means that the character of Snape will be aged 31-years-old and even the Dursley family, Harrys belligerent guardians, will
be more youthful than the movies depictions. Regardless of who Max decides to cast, itll be very interesting to see which newbie actors will have their
lives changed forever in what will undoubtedly become one of the best Max shows.
