HBO's Harry Potter series arrives in 2027, and Warwick Davis is returning as Professor Flitwick. That offers a familiar face amid the new adaptation's extensive recasting. There's also a treat for book readers: Richard Durden plays Professor Binns, the ghostly History of Magic teacher missing from the films. Apparently even a Hogwarts reboot cannot save pupils from a dull lecture.
