Over the years, we’ve lost Dame Maggie Smith (Minerva McGonagall), Sir Michael Gambon and Sir Richard Harris (both played Albus Dumbledore), Alan Rickman (Severus Snape), Leslie Phillips (Sorting Hat), Helen McCrory (Narcissa Malfoy), the aforementioned Robbie Coltrane, and more.

With so many of those actors no longer with us, whoever comes in to step into those voids has big shoes to fill. We’ve already heard rumours as to who might play the nextAlbus Dumbledore,Severus SnapeandMinerva McGonagall, but now rumours are making the rounds on who’ll be the next Hagrid.
According toDeadline, Brett Goldstein fromTed Lassois being considered for the role of Hagrid.
It’s fair to say that fans are divided over the potential casting of Goldstein, who plays Roy Kent in the popular aforementioned Apple TV series. What’s more, fans are not too keen on other casting rumours either.
“I love Brett but I don’t see it,” exclaimed Reddit user Broccoli32.
