Too many times, fan views and opinions are overlooked. Change.org gives us a chance to send them a message.

In 2022, Audible released statistics that, in seven years since making the Harry Potter book available on Audible, over a billion hours were spent listening to book one to seven, 8,547,009 times. Besides the exceptional content material that is Harry Potter, it is also, in part, Stephen Fry's magnificent performance that brings the books to life. To not include him in the casting lineup for the next adaptation of Harry Potter is an oversight. I, for one, cannot sit by and allow it to happen again.

So, why should he play the big man Dumbledore?

The parallels between the two are uncanny. Not only in appearance (broken nose, blue eyes), but also who they are as people - loved by the public and high society. Stephen Fry's reputation as a witty and vast intellect is tempered by a difficult early life that strayed into troubles with the law and mental health, much like Dumbledore.

So, please join, sign, share, and let us send a message to HBO that the key to making this the biggest and most loved adaptation of the series is to give the fans what they truly want: a source material accurate adaptation, the way it should have been from the start, with one of the figures that brought the books to life and within the reach of those of us that may not have been able to appreciate the series without this accessible adaptation.
