New Delhi, Oct. 8 -- Veteran actor John Lithgow, who will play the new Dumbledore, has surfaced online. The pictures of Lithgow dressed as Dumbledore from the filming of HBO's Harry Potter series are going viral on the Internet.

John Lithgow has the unenviable task of filling the legendary shoes of his predecessors, the late Richard Harris and Michael Gambon.

The reboot, which has been in the works since it was first announced in April 2023, promises to stay true to JK Rowling's original books. The series is reportedly set to premiere sometime in 2027.

The 79-year-old Emmy winner looked unrecognisable as the headmaster of Hogwarts, fully disappearing into the role.
