Can we just watch S1 before we even start talking about casting for S2?

Given the movies and books came out almost 20 years ago, it's not like you're spoiling anything by discussing S2 casting. And as said, they're already casting.

If anyone has seen Hoult in The Great, he'll absolutely knock this role out of the park.

Gilderoy Lockhart, like nearly all of JK Rowling's characters, was fantastic and they did a good job with this casting.

I don’t waste time with DEI slop.

Never knew you were a trans ally
Keep on fighting brother!


Role seems kinda small for him. Guess he didn't want to commit to multiple seasons

I wonder if we’ll find out who is playing Young Tom Riddle before we learn who is playing Voldemort in season 1.

I think you're very confused.

Nicholas Hoult has left the series due to scheduling conflicts.


So they don't verify scheduling availability before they negotiate and award a role?

I think he backed out due to “outrage” from twitter warriors that hate JK because of the trans nonsense. Scheduling conflicts is just a neutral way of putting it.

Imagine basing your career choices off of what twitter warriors think.

I think it's going to crush it, even with the dumb Snape casting. Yea, I could see Game of Thrones level viewership. It will almost certainly have more viewers in S1 than GoT did in S1.
