We already know who will play Professor Albus Dumbledore following in the footsteps of the late Richard Harris and Michael Gambon as well as the actor who will be playing Professor Servus Snape, previously played by the late Alan Rickman.
We also have a good idea of who will be playing Rubeus Hagrid, once played by another beloved actor who is no longer with us, Robbie Coltrane. The new actor expected to play this role is Nick Frost, who starred in the comedy movies Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End, to name a few.
On Reddit, Harry Potter fans have been discussing the likelihood of Nick Frost playing the role of Hagrid, who recently responded to the rumours.
“It’s in no way, shape, or form confirmed. I’m thrilled that I would even be considered,” said Frost in a tweet shared by Screen Rant.
“I’m biased because he's one of my favourite actors, but I think he'll kill it,” exclaimed Redditor Dazzling-One-9185.
“I'd definitely like it to be Nick. He's certainly capable of pulling this off,” claimed Pliolite.
“‘It is in no way, shape or form confirmed’. Hmm yes... guys, it's confirmed. Let's go!” replied a joyous and optimistic SmarterThanYou1999.
At the time of writing, a release date for the Harry Potter TV series hasn't been announced but hopefully, it will arrive within the next couple of years or so.
