Just like the Harry Potter movies introduced millennials to phenomenal actors like Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, and Jason Isaacs, the streaming series plans to do something similar for the next generation. While we know for sure John Lithgow has officially been cast as Dumbledore, other actors are rumored to be in negotiations for a role. As those possibilities swirl online, one actor has responded to the Internet chatter about him possibly playing Hagrid, and that actor would be none other than Nick Frost.
The role of Hogwarts gamekeeper, Rubeus Hagrid, was first played by the late Robbie Coltrane. As the Scottish actor had heartwarming chemistry with the young cast and knew how to be so lovable on screen, those will undoubtedly be some big shoes to fill. In terms of who will take on the memorable role for the Harry Potter series (which will stream on your Max subscription), casting is unconfirmed just now.
