As HBO gets underway with newfound production details about its upcoming series, John Lithgow has provided his own take on the casting announcements that have practically broken the Internet.
As noteworthy as these casting announcements have been, perhaps the biggest piece of news came with the confirmation that John Lithgow will appear as Hogwarts' legendary headmaster, Albus Dumbledore (previously portrayed by Richard Harris and Michael Gambon).
"I know there were plenty of people appalled that an American should be hired to play the ultimate English wizard," Lithgow told BBC's The One Show. "But I will do my best."
"I'm not an Englishman, although I’ve played one on TV. I remind everyone that I did play Winston Churchill on The Crown and did just fine," Lithgow commented.
Lithgow has also mentioned that he's currently brushing up on his Harry Potter knowledge by reading the books, allowing him a deeper window into J.K. Rowling's sprawling fantasy universe.
