Chris Columbus has absolutely zero desire to be involved in HBO’s all-star small-screen “Harry Potter” reboot. The filmmaker - arguably best known for launching the mega hit franchise more than 20 years ago having directed the first two “Harry Potter” features and produced the third - claims he’s long since graduated from Hogwarts.

The Harry Potter TV show cast includes Arabella Stanton and Lox Pratt as fellow first-years Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy, respectively, with Janet McTeer as Professor Minerva McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, and John Lithgow as Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

The recent set leak from HBO's Harry Potter series revealed that the team is currently filming the Platform 9¾ moment from the first book, Philosopher's Stone.
