The casting of the Harry Potter TV series was always going to draw many conflicting opinions online from fans of the movies, fans of the books, and those who just feel the need to share their views, because it all sounds a little bit controversial. Following the casting of John Lithgow as Dumbledore, several potential castings previously “confirmed” by sources of varying reliability have resurfaced in the last few days. Two particular names that were originally mentioned back in December have continued to be touted as taking on two of the big roles up for grabs, and although they are still no further forward than they were a few months ago, fans have been very vocal about one potentially imminent announcement in particular.
