Once upon a time it was supposed to beIan McKellan in the robe, but he went on to become another wizard, Gandalf in theLord Of The Rings.
When Richard Harris unfortunately passed away the role went to the late Sir Michael Gambon, who played the character for the rest of the film series.
Now Mark Rylance is reportedly being considered for the roleaccordingto Variety, and that while negotiations haven’t actually begun yet the studio has reached out to the actor to play the part.

Rylance is known for roles in films likeDunkirk, Ready Player OneandBridge Of Spiesto name a few.
So we have an idea of who will play Snape and Dumbledore if HBO’s outreach is successful, but we still have no idea who could play the leading trio of characters.
Harry, Hermione and Ron are seemingly yet to be cast, but apparently over 30,000 children have auditioned for the upcoming TV series, so there’s clearly a lot of applicants to get through.
