Deccan Chronicle  

Los Angeles: British veteran John Lithgow will be officially stepping into the wizarding world as the actor has confirmed that he will take on the beloved role of Albus Dumbledore in the highly anticipated "Harry Potter" series. Dumbledore is one of the most iconic characters in the Harry Potter universe, created by British author JK Rowling with her best-selling book series. In the "Harry Potter" film series, the character was first portrayed by Richard Harris in the first two films. The Harry Potter series, which is expected to commence filming later this year, is described as a 'more in-depth' adaptation of Rowling's books compared to the film franchise.
