Gary Oldman Posits He Could Return To ‘Harry Potter’ Universe Through TV Reboot: “I Could Do Dumbledore”
Gary Oldman isn't opposed to returning to the world of 'Harry Potter,' saying he 'could do Dumbledore' in the HBO reboot.
While he told IndieWire at the Emmys red carpet that the show’s creative team has not approached him about any roles, he added that he felt his character was not as present in the films as he would have liked him to be — a sentiment long-shared by fans of the magical franchise. Meanwhile, subsequent releases Goblet of Fire and Deathly Hallows were cameos, with Order of the Phoenix spelling the end of the character’s existence on the mortal realm at the hands of Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter) in a devastating battle scene. As previously reported by Deadline, the HBO series, due in 2026, launched a casting call for the iconic (and often trouble-making) trio earlier this month, looking for child actors between 9 and 11.
