HBO's Harry Potter remake series must restore Peeves to his proper place at Hogwarts Castle, but this will mean recasting the initially intended star.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Harry Potter remake is the perfect opportunity to finally include Peeves the Poltergeist in a screen adaptation. Still, casting will be tricky considering the icon that was previously meant to take on the role. HBO has promised a book-faithful adaptation in its reboot of the massively popular series, with an entire season dedicated to each of J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World books.
Harry Potter's Remake Will Struggle To Beat Rik Mayall's Movie Casting There's no question that Peeves should be included in the Harry Potter TV reboot, but recasting the actor initially intended for the role is a different story. Despite the character being entirely absent from the Harry Potter movies, English comedy icon Rik Mayall was originally intended to play Peeves in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
Why Rik Mayall's Peeves Was Cut From The Harry Potter Movies It's never been entirely clear why Mayall's portrayal of Peeves was cut from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. In an interview , Mayall stated that he hadn't known that his scenes were cut from the film until he watched it for the first time, and he was never given a reason. The comedian did mention, however, that his comedic behavior on set often caused the child stars to lose focus and break character.
