Nick Frost, the 53-year-old British comedian, has shared his unusual method for securing the role of Rubeus Hagrid in HBO's new Harry Potter TV series, scheduled for a 2027 release.

This unique manifestation process proved successful, as he secured the role and began production in July.
The actor, who has been a lifelong fan and watches the films annually with his family, discussed his approach to portraying Hagrid. He emphasized respecting Robbie Coltrane's iconic performance while aiming to explore the character's childlike, funny, and protective nature with more depth over the book-per-season format. Frost aims for a portrayal that is both funny and endearing.
