Gary Oldmanwho memorably played Sirius Black in four films Harry Potter In the 2000s, he said he was not opposed to joining the new cast of the new television version of HBOwho is currently searching for Harry, Ron and Hermione.
While he told IndieWire on the Emmys red carpet that the show’s creative team has not approached him about offering him any role, he added that he felt his character wasn’t as present in the films as he would have liked, a sentiment long shared by fans of the magical franchise.
“I love Sirius”the star of Slow Horses“He was not present enough. He appeared and then passed through the veil.”
While the Oscar winner doesn’t expect to be getting calls anytime soon, he may return to the small screen in another equally beloved role: “I’d bet my money they’ll get a whole new cast,” he said. “Maybe in a few years I can play Dumbledore”.
As Sirius Black, Harry’s godfather (Daniel Radcliffe) and outlawed until proven innocent, Oldman appeared in four Warner Bros. films: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. Her most prominent appearance was in 2004’s Azkaban, which introduces the character and her origin story, with the plot largely revolving around her escape from prison and her connection to Harry. Meanwhile, subsequent releases The Goblet of Fire and The Deathly Hallows were cameo appearances, with The Order of the Phoenix marking the end of the character’s existence in the mortal realm at the hands of Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter) in a devastating battle scene.
What is known about the HBO series about Harry Potter
The HBO series, which is set to premiere in 2026, put out a casting call for the iconic trio earlier this month, seeking child actors between the ages of 9 and 11. The creative team includes the duo of Succession Francesca Gardiner and Mark Mylod as writer and director, respectively. Gardiner will also serve as showrunner, and both will serve as executive producers.
HBO and Max Content president and CEO Casey Bloys has lofty goals for the project, which he stated would run for 10 consecutive years, reversing previous thinking that the project would be based on the seven books of J.K. Rowling for an equivalent number of seasons.
