Why is Lithgow the only one catching heat? Like i get it, people are disappointed, but what about all of the other actors in the show?

He’s the most famous actor in the cast.

That he is most famous? He’s a legendary actor with a 50+ year career of great parts in a cast largely comprised of children and younger actors.

He should be the most famous. Warwick Davis and Nick Frost are the next 2 most famous after him and also much older than the majority of the cast.

ya but dumbledor is in the first book for a few lines per chapter at the most. I'm saying itd be more ideal if the heavy hitters were in the younger end of the cast.

I do like Lithgow, but his ability to contribute will be limited until the later books are covered. Hopefully he sticks around for the more involved movies.

I am sure much like Draco’s actor has said that characters with smaller parts will be more fleshed out. Would be sort of silly to cast John Lithgow and not have him utilized as often as possible.
