i believe i am your 420th subscriber ! teehee dab for me

As Hermione reads from the dark book, any Horcrux can possess people.

W H A T

Very convincing!!! the sins line up with the horcrux curses surprisingly well

First time i heard of the deadly sins theory albeit somewhat differently than here was in a fanfic called 'a magical journey' which is a decent read

Luna is my favorite character for this reason

How about the late Sir Richard Harris son Jared Harris as Albus Dumbledore. Catherine Tate as Molly Weasley Sophie Turner as Lily Potter

No hate but such a sad scene is his favorite line I understand

Wait what about Gary old man as dumbledore? Wouldn’t that be incredible?

After an already perfectly successful eight film series that's grossed well over a billion dollars . . . SOOOOOOOO many other fantasy books out there. Is this truly getting sad.

Ohh, I like the idea of Harry Melling as Snape.

Jason Isaac sounds like he would’ve been a good voice as Scar in Lion King

Arthur Weasley Martin freeman.

AGREED

all good ideas, if anyone is interested in fanfic, one about the young marauders pretty good (first few chapters I've read) is called "All the young dudes"

Why wouldn't they make an animated series of it? And make the animated version more accurate to the books. Then they would only need the voices. Argus Filch doesn't hate magic, he hates that these kids can do magic and he can't. It's a hate out of jealousy. He works at Hogwarts, because he always wanted to go there as a student, but couldn't because he's a squib. This way he's a part of the magic world.

This is terrible casting!

it was supposed to drop yesterday on hbo max,but i have seen 0 info about it

I don't like reusing of actors from the original- movies at all, with a reboot it's supposed to have new actors for new interpretations. Dumbledore needs an old grand man for an example like Charles Dance or Michael Caine. I prefer Bryan Seekers recasting rather than these ones

Mad eye Moody is MUCH older than the actors you picked. Pick an older British actor. 😉 Arthur Weasley is tall, thin, and balding. Colin Furth seems more like Dumbledore to me. 😊 Snape...Adrien Brody or DJ Qualls are much more physically Professor Snape.

They just need Diego Luna as snape

I think they should pick much younger actors than the characters but age them appropriately with makeup. If their character lasts ten years, they can "age up" to the character without looking odd.

I really like your recasts here really I only have one I don't really agree with I think Cumberbatch is just too obvious one person I thought of before when playing the recast game with friends is Robert Carlyle from Once upon a time he can definitely pull it off and is comfortable being in a bunch of makeup I can't name someone who would make a better Filch off the top of my head.

Why recast so many Harry Potter actors in new roles?!?!

I hope they cast Danny Devito as Harry 🤞🤞🤞

IMMEDIATELY when you said Kenneth Branagh for Dumbledore, I said YES.

time to finally get gandalf for dumbledore

Newts commander is perhaps the greatest hero The world needs It’s a shame it’s been put on the back burner

Ugh, Nooooooo. Absolutely not.

I’d like to see Colin Morgan from Merlin in some role in the Harry Potter Universe

AnimaGus, hard G

My personal favourites (not using the British only rule) Albus Dumbledore - Jude Law Minerva McGonagall - Emma Thompson Severus Snape - Adam Driver Vernon Dursley - James Corden Petunia Dursley - Cate Blanchett Lucius Malfoy - Tom Felton Narcissa Malfoy - Alison Sudol Voldemort - Jamie Campbell-Bower Arthur Weasley - Rupert Grint Molly Weasley - Catherine Tate Remus Lupin - Matthew Lewis Sirius Black - Dev Patel Rubeus Hagrid - Brendan Gleeson Horace Slughorn - Steven Fry Bellatrix Lestrange - Margot Robbie Dora Tonks - Kaya Scodelario Rita Skeeter - Rosamund Pike James Potter - Daniel Radcliffe Lily Potter - Bonnie Wright Barty Crouch Jr - Taylor Lautner Barty Crouch - David Tennant Dolores Umbridge - Rosie O’Donnell Rufus Scrimgeour - Benedict Cumberbatch Kingsley Shacklebolt - Idris Elba John Major (muggle Prime Minister) - Dan Stevens Cornelius Fudge - Colin Firth Professor Trelawney - Emma Stone Rowan Atkinson - Peeves

I think that Tom Felton should play Lucius Malfoy and Daniel Radcliff should be James Potter.

Benedict could also be a choice for snape.

For severus snape the actor that played dumbledores nephew in the fantastic beast series will more that fit the role.

It should be an animated series.

Assuming you really like the series ‘Once upon a time’ ?

Based on her performance in GOT, I could see Michelle Fairley being a fantastic McGonagall too! She's just a little older than McGonagall's canon age; has the right severe, prim and proper look; and she can portray a good mix of sternness and warmth.

I doubt Emma Thompson would be ok to work with Kenneth Branagh. Bit of history there.

I just want the adults to be more age accurate. Remember James and Lilly were like 21-22 when they were killed, so they would be 31-32 at the Philosophers stone start.

Most of these picks are A or B listers who would collectively skyrocket the cast budget.

I'm really not trying to be that guy, but there are so many mispronounced names of characters and actors in this video. Please do your research before presenting, it's very distracting.

Toby Jones was Dobby.

I have this hope they will cast Jared Harris as Dumbledore. He's a son of Richard Harris, who played the role in first two movies and he definitely has everything for the role. Just look at his role of professor Legasov in Chernobyl. He can pull the wise, calm, old man, who has incredible strength in him as well as painful, tragic past. He's 62, so mabye a little younger, but it doesn't matter since we're talking about TV show that is planned to run for 7 years at least and considering he will have to act out all the fights/duels/action scenes.

Do you want us to crush on Lockhart?

I really dont want Toby Jones to play Slughorn i love slughorn and I don't mean it as anything against Toby but something about him brings up incredibly uncomfortable feeling from childhood and I don't want that to taint slughorn for me. almost everything I have seen him in he plays someone slimy and for that specifically I think he would make a better Peter but he is older. Sean Bean is more fit for Mad eye but I hate to see him get another roll were he yet again is killed off. I know its become some kind of joke about his rolls always dying OMG I feel so dumb, you said Filch was in 7 of the 8 films and my brain instantly went to fight you on that.... and then I realized he wasn't in DH p1 cause they never truly went to Hogwarts. wait did I miss it or did you not even mention Rupert Grint for a roll, him and Tom Felton are 2 of the previous cast that are dying to go back to Hogwarts.

Simon Pegg should continue to be Phineas Nigellus Black considering he already voices the character for Hogwarts Legacy and it would be the brand synergy that WB loves. Tom Ellis of Lucifer fame IMHO should be Lockhart. All the charm and an idiot thru and thru. Aside? You have a LOT of OUAT actors. I am a Oncer as much as the next person but only one maybe two are at that level for HBO's tastes.

I am so impressed with your choices!!! I have a few more actors that I could see as some characters but I don’t think I would be unhappy with the choices you made…. Bravo !! Well done !!
