Dumbledore First Look Revealed: John Lithgow Spotted on Set

Dumbledore First Look: A Redditor going by the handle u/i-tiresias posted a few clips from the Harry Potter TV series filming. The post’s title read, “John Lithgow’s character Dumbledore was spotted filming for the new Harry Potter series on a beach in Cornwall, England.”

Potterheads began leaving comments on the page as soon as it became popular. “What scene does Dumbledore have on the beach?” asked an inquisitive Redditor. The HBP seaside cave thing is the only one that comes to mind, although that is far later in the series.

“Is this the scene where Dumbledore becomes the Bay Harbor Butcher?” speculated another user. Many Redditors also remarked on how “huge” John appeared. One reviewer said, “They have him on a very long leash in the second picture, as if they are giving him a little treat by letting him play in the sea.”

One commenter responded, “To be honest, it’s a perplexing viewpoint as well. He appears enormous here, even though I know he’s a bigger guy.” Another user noted the same, commenting, “He looks massive in that second picture.” According to media reports, Lithgow was reading lines from cue cards in addition to strolling around in the magnificent Dumbledore costume.
