HBO's upcoming Harry Potter TV series is still in early pre-production, but one name has already reportedly emerged at the top of the network's wishlist for the Dumbledore role.

Succeeded by the late Michael Gambon after Harris’ passing in 2002, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was the debut of Albus Dumbledore who would finish the films out. While his chapters are very much in the ranks of the best Michael Gambon movies, fans had a monumental bone to pick with how The Singing Detective icon played the part.
