Gary Oldman has now done more press for a show he's not in than most actors do for the ones they are.
Gary Oldman Says HBO's Harry Potter Series Will Satisfy Fans More Than the Films
Gary Oldman, who played Sirius Black across four Harry Potter films, told Entertainment Weekly that HBO's upcoming series will satisfy fans more than the movies because it adapts the books nearly word-for-word, whereas the films sacrificed character detail to fit three-hour runtimes. He also called his own performance "mediocre" in 2024, then clarified he meant only that he is hypercritical of his own work. HBO's first season wrapped and premieres December 25; no Sirius casting has been announced.
