Gary Oldman wouldn’t mind another trip to Hogwarts. The veteran actor, who memorably portrayed Sirius Black in four Harry Potter films in the 2000s, said he’s not opposed to boarding the new cast of the TV reboot from HBO, which is currently searching for its Harry, Ron and Hermione.
While he told IndieWire at the Emmys red carpet that the show’s creative team has not approached him about any roles, he added that he felt his character was not as present in the films as he would have liked him to be — a sentiment long-shared by fans of the magical franchise. “I love Sirius,” the Slow Horses star said Sunday. “He wasn’t in it enough.
He turned up and then he went through the veil.” Though the Oscar winner is not expecting any calls soon, perhaps he’ll return on the small screen in another equally beloved role: “I would bet my money that they will get a whole new cast of people,” he said. “Maybe in a few years, I could do Dumbledore.” As Sirius Black, godfather to Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and outlaw-until-proven-innocent, Oldman made an appearance in four pictures from Warner Bros.: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2.
His most substantive appearance was in 2004’s Azkaban, which introduces the character and his origin story, with the plot largely revolving around his prison escape and connection to Harry.
