'Ted Lasso' Star Brett Goldstein Could Allegedly Land A Major Role In The 'Harry Potter' Series, and I Didn’t See This Coming At All

The new "Harry Potter" TV series for Max is scheduled to start shooting its first season next summer, and so the hunt for the new story’s cast is currently underway. Thousands of kids reportedly auditioned for the lead roles of Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and a couple of key adult roles are reportedly circling actors. Interestingly, "Ted Lasso" star Brett Goldstein is allegedly one of the actors being considered, which was not on our bingo card.

While Brett Goldstein has had a successful career across the pond, most U.S. viewers know him as the foul-mouthed Roy Kent on the Apple TV+ series "Ted Lasso." Maybe that’s why the idea of Goldstein appearing in the new Harry Potter series seems so strange. And yet, Deadline reports that Goldstein is being eyed for a significant part in the new series, as one of its more lovable characters.
