In an older interview with BBC, after theories swirled about Garfield being solid, he was requested whether or not he would play Lupin. And, like he does with any rumors, he answered in a really cryptic and non-committal method. “I’ll take into account any function provided, how’s that?“

Whereas HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter show has not formally introduced who they may solid as Lupin, it is unlikely that Garfield could be the one to tackle the function. Because the present is basing every season off of 1 e book, the werewolf will not seem till season 3. Within the books, Lupin is supposed to be in his early to mid 30s. And, with Garfield being 42 years outdated, by the point season 3 comes out in 2028 on the earliest, he could be slightly too outdated to play the character.

This is perhaps disappointing information to followers who need to see him within the new Harry Potter series. Nevertheless, it is usually uncertain that anybody was actually anticipating it. Hopefully, no matter who HBO casts to play the wizarding world’s iconic werewolf, he shall be an ideal match for the function.
