Kevin McKidd Reacts to Harry Potter Casting Rumors

Kevin McKidd has responded with amusement to fan speculation surrounding his potential casting as Arthur Weasley in the forthcoming Harry Potter series. The actor confirmed he is aware of the online discussions and stated his enthusiasm for the wizarding world, noting, "I'm a massive Harry Potter fan." He further indicated his openness to participating in the new adaptation.

McKidd also disclosed a poignant past opportunity he missed. He revealed that director David Yates had offered him a role in the final two Harry Potter films. However, McKidd had to decline due to contractual obligations and uncertainty regarding the renewal of his show 'Journeyman.' This missed chance still causes him sadness, but he is hopeful that current rumors might lead to a concrete role.

Further fueling speculation, actress HH, cast as Ginny Weasley, began following McKidd on social media. McKidd's reaction suggests he would be delighted if these persistent rumors were to lead to an actual offer, expressing a desire to "have another crack" at being part of the Harry Potter universe.
