HBO and Warner Bros are behind the new tv series “Harry Potter” that will be aired on HBO in 2026. The new series will dive deeper into the wizarding world of Harry Potter, Howgarts, Dumbledore, Voldemort and all the other fantastic wizzards and mugles of JK Rowling’s book.
That means that the new tv project needs new characters for all the iconic roles of Daniel Radcliffe, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith ext…and the rumours about the casting has made Potter fans really upset!
Although there is no official announcement about who is going to play who, so far it was reported that the actor Paapa Essiedu, Gangs of London and The Capture, is in final talks to play Severus Snape.

Paapa Essiedu is not Severus Snape. @jk_rowling knows it. @HBO knows it. Yet, they ignore it. Very disappointing. Alan Rickman was the perfect Snape, and Adam Driver would have been perfect for the role. What a complete 180. #HarryPotter pic.twitter.com/07ugqpPj6Z— Seat B1 (@SeatB1_) March 7, 2025
