Television hasn\u2019t yet entered into negotiations with the actor, but the studio has reached out to gauge interest and availability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tReps for Rylance did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A rep for HBO told Variety: \u201cWe appreciate that such a high profile series will draw a lot of rumor and speculation. As we make our way through pre-production, we will only confirm details as we finalize deals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tWhile the leads for the show \u2013 Harry, Hermione and Ron \u2013 will likely be newcomers, with Warner Bros. launching an <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2024\/tv\/news\/harry-potter-show-hbo-casting-harry-ron-hermione-1236138486\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1236138486\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">open casting call<\/a> for kids aged between 9 and 11 earlier this fall, it\u2019s no surprise that, like the original feature film adaptations, WBD is hoping to populate the adult cast with some of the U.K.\u2019s best-known actors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe original films starred, among others, Richard Harris as Professor Dumbledore, Maggie Smith as Professor McGonagall and Alan Rickman as Professor Snape.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOne challenge will be finding talent who are willing to commit to a potential seven seasons (one corresponding to each book) and who are the right age to see it through. Harris was 70 when he took on the role of Dumbledore and died two years later, having completed only the first two films. He was replaced by Michael Gambon for the remainder of the series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tRylance is 64, a year younger than Smith was when she began shooting the films.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tHarris originally turned down the role of the Hogwarts headmaster three times before eventually being persuaded by his young granddaughter, according to the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2001\/sep\/14\/harrypotter.news\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2001\/sep\/14\/harrypotter.news\">Guardian<\/a>. \u201cAll I knew is that they kept offering me the part and raising the salary every time they called. I kept turning it down,\u201d Harris reportedly said. \u201cAnyone involved has to agree to be in the sequels, all of them, and that\u2019s not how I wanted to spend the last years of my life, so I said no over and over again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tRylance won an Academy Award for best supporting actor in 2016 for his work in the Steven Spielberg film \u201cBridge of Spies.\u201d He also worked with Spielberg on the 2016 animated film \u201cThe BFG,\u201d based on the book by Roald Dahl. His other film credits include \u201cDunkirk,\u201d \u201cThe Trial of the Chicago 7,\u201d and \u201cDon\u2019t Look Up,\u201d while his TV roles include shows like \u201cThe Government Inspector\u201d and the aforementioned \u201cWolf Hall.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tHe is repped by CAA, Hamilton Hodell, and Peikoff Mahan. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tWarner Bros.
