John Lithgow Gives Disappointing Update About Dumbledore's Place in HBO's 'Harry Potter' Reboot

While Professor Albus Dumbledore is one of the most powerful characters in the wizarding world, he won't be dominating the screen in HBO's upcoming Harry Potterreboot, as John Lithgow just clued audiences in on how much they can expect to see Dumbledore in the new show. The character was played by Richard Harris and Michael Gambon in the original Harry Potter movies, with Jude Law playing a younger version of Dumbledore in the Fantastic Beasts films. The new series is still in development, and the search for the new Harry Potter is ongoing. Although a shooting schedule hasn't yet been decided, Lithgow knows how present Dumbledore will be in the new show, and it's less than you might think.
