The Harry Potter remake officially has its Albus Dumbledore, and this has gotten me thinking about how he could be best used in the coming episodes. The TV show's first season will be based on the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone book, with eight full episodes (approximately eight total hours) dedicated to Harry's first year at Hogwarts. While casting news has been limited, we know for certain that John Lithgow will be the newest actor to play Professor Dumbledore. However, this Hogwarts headmaster isn't as prevalent in Sorcerer's Stone as in future installments.
