Jared Harris Criticizes HBO's Harry Potter Reboot

The son of the original Dumbledore actor calls the new TV series unnecessary and opts out of reprising his father's role.

Jared Harris, son of the late Richard Harris, dismisses the need for HBO's upcoming Harry Potter TV series.
Harris, known for roles in 'Mad Men' and 'Chernobyl,' declined to play Dumbledore, stating the original films should be left alone.
The new series aims to cover more storylines from J.K. Rowling's books that were omitted from the movies.
Despite his criticism, Harris acknowledges the TV format allows for deeper storytelling and character development.
Other original cast members, including Daniel Radcliffe, have also expressed reluctance to participate in the reboot.
