The Harry Potter series has been highly anticipated by fans in the realm of magical adaptations. The excitement keeps building as additional details are revealed. Rumors concerning new cast members and the possible return of a cherished character have captured many people's attention recently. Anticipation is at an all-time high as development progresses—could one of the most recognizable cartel attorneys from the Ozark be joining?

Rumors are buzzing as a legendary figure from Ozark is about to step into the magical world of Harry Potter. Who will be the newest addition to the cast?

Janet McTeer, who starred in Jessica Jones and Ozark, is scheduled to appear in the eagerly awaited Harry Potter series in a remarkable casting twist, as has been confirmed by Deadline too. The return of the magical world will be even more exciting thanks to McTeer's remarkable acting abilities, which promise to give the popular character a new depth in his iconic role as Professor McGonagall.

The eight-film series earned more than $7.7 billion globally, sparking significant anticipation for a fresh take on the books. This new adaptation aims to delve deeper into characters and moments that were left unexplored in the original two-hour films. Deadline has confirmed that McTeer is currently in discussions for the role, and Paapa Essiedu is almost certain to take on the role of Professor Severus Snape. Aside from this, Jason Bateman and Laura Linney from Ozark are reuniting for Netflix's big 2025 hit.

Regardless of the future of Ozark, Jason Bateman and Laura Linney are not slowing down. They have already joined forces once more for a thrilling new venture.

Jason Bateman and Laura Linney, who are well-known for their roles in Ozark and their behind-the-scenes work as directors, are heading back together for another Netflix project: Black Rabbit, a drama set in New York City, will have Bateman as both star and director for the first two episodes, while Linney will direct episodes three and four but will not be on screen, as per a report from Netflix Tudum.

Based on the premise, Bateman seems poised to embody yet another complex and morally gray figure. His character, described as a  “chaotic brother,” threatens to unravel everything his sibling, portrayed by Jude Law, has carefully constructed. This dynamic promises intense drama, with Bateman’s sharp portrayal heightening the tension between the two characters in a gripping narrative.
