A few months before the start of filming, scheduled for this summer, the HBO series dedicated to the universe of Harry Potter has unveiled part of its distribution.
As announced a few weeks ago in the Hollywood specialized press, it was the actor John Lithgow who was chosen to defend the role of Albus Dumbledore.
Janet McTeer will slip into the shoes of Minerva McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu will play the disturbing Severus Rogue and Nick Frost will lend his features to the nice giant Rubeus Hagrid.
Luke Thallon (in the role of Quirrell Quirrell) and Paul Whitehouse (Argus Rusard) will also be part of the distribution.
