New 'Harry Potter' Star Nick Frost Wants Hagrid To Be Different From the Original
The casting for HBO's Harry Potter reboot series has been incredibly divisive so far. Some have turned against actors like Paapa Essiedu (who will play Snape) and even child actress Arabella Stanton (Hermione Granger) for senseless and bigoted reasons. Other fans have slightly more justified and logical criticisms of the casting choices so far. But, one actor who every fan agrees is a perfect fit for their role is Hot Fuzz and Paul star, Nick Frost. The actor will portray Rubeus Hagrid, the gamekeeper and groundskeeper of Hogwarts School. It's ironic that this is the casting choice fans have positively latched onto, considering how beloved Robbie Coltrane's performance in the original movies was. But, Frost said he wants his version of Hagrid to differ from the immensely popular original.
