Gary Oldman, known for his role as Sirius Black in the Harry Potter films, has expressed interest in playing Dumbledore in the upcoming HBO reboot of the series, which begins filming in spring 2025. Although he stated he hasn't been approached for the role and expects a new cast for the reboot, he humorously suggested he would be up for the job. Oldman acknowledged the original portrayal of Dumbledore and noted that he is now at the right age to take on such a character. The series aims for a faithful adaptation of J.K. Rowling's novels and is set for a ten-year run.

Will Gary Oldman play Dumbledore in the Harry Potter HBO reboot?

As of now, Gary Oldman has not been cast as Dumbledore and has not been contacted about the role, but he is open to the opportunity in the future as the series aims for a completely new cast.

The Harry Potter series, based on the popular book franchise by J.K. Rowling, has captivated audiences for over two decades. The original films, beginning with "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in 2001, contributed to a massive global phenomenon, spawning merchandise, theme parks, and spin-offs. The upcoming HBO reboot is anticipated to bring a fresh perspective and more extensive storytelling from the beloved source material, engaging both new and long-time fans of the wizarding world.
