Gary Oldman Says Sirius Black Was Not in the ‘Harry Potter’ Movies Enough: ‘He Turned Up and Then He Went Through the Veil’
Gary Oldman says in a few years he'll be old enough to play Dumbledore in Max's "Harry Potter" television series.
The upcoming “Harry Potter” television series on Max will surely have more room to give Sirius the screen time he deserves, not that Oldman thinks he’ll be back in the role. During an interview on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast last December, Oldman called his acting in the “Harry Potter” movies “mediocre” and added: “Maybe if I had read the books like Alan [Rickman], if I had got ahead of the curve, if I had known what’s coming, I honestly think I would have played it differently.” While Sirius Black may not have had enough screen time in the “Harry Potter” franchise, Oldman still has long credited the movies for saving his career along with his role in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” trilogy.
