Professor Snape goes Black? HBO's Harry Potter series reveals first cast lineup

πŸͺ„ HBO just dropped the first official casting for its highly anticipated Harry Potter reboot series β€” and the internet is already buzzing.

πŸ“£ Here's who's in so far:

  • John Lithgow (The CrownConclave) as Albus Dumbledore
  • Janet McTeer (Tumbleweeds) as Professor McGonagall
  • Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You) as Severus Snape 😳
  • Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead) as Hagrid

Yup, Snape is officially being reimagined β€” and fans are already split over the bold move.

🎬 No word yet on who's playing the Golden Trio (Harry, Ron, Hermione), but expectations are sky-high. With J.K. Rowling back as executive producer and Chris Columbus (OG Harry Potter and Home Alone director) at the helm, this reboot is aiming to stay true to the magic of the books.

πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ It's real. It's happening. And it's gonna be very different.
