John Lithgow is addressing some of the criticism to the actor playing Hogwarts headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, in the upcoming 'Harry Potter' TV series.

Lithgow recently told BBC's 'The One Show' that he's "very excited" yet "very intimidated" to be the next actor to take on a role which has been played before in the 'Harry Potter' films by Richard Harris and Michael Gambon in the original films and by Jude Law in the 'Fantastic Beasts' franchise.
