As a remake, it will focus on the story we all know and love but will instead be broken up into multiple episodes as opposed to an eight-part movie series.
That means that the movie makers will need to make the right choices when it comes to recasting some of cinema’s most iconic roles.
As of now, we don’t yet know any actors who will be taking on the roles but that hasn’t stopped Harry Potter fans from speculating as to who they think would be the perfect choice.
Just recently, said fans united over the possible casting for Death Eater Lucius Malfoy but now talk has turned to show should play Harry Potter himself.
“Who do you think should play Harry Potter in the new HBO show?” One post read over on r/harrypotter.
“Who do you think should take the role of Harry Potter for the 2026 reboot? I personally think Ian Armitage or Christian Convery would play Harry well. If they were younger.”
Although young actors, both Armitage and Convery are already somewhat established.
However, it seems as though fans have now united over the idea that Harry himself should be played by an unknown actor, much like Daniel Radcliffe was when he joined the movie cast at just 11 years old.
“It should be an unknown 10 year old,” user caywriter said.
To which GandalfTheSomething agreed, saying, “Actually, yes. Daniel Radcliffe was a mostly new actor when he played Harry. I think a person who no one knows would be great for the show!”
It would definitely be a breakout role for the chosen actor as Radcliffe continues to have a successful career thanks to his iconic portrayal.
For now, we just have to wait and see.
