Janet McTeer is being considered for the role of Professor Minerva McGonagall. This kind of casting could make any Harry Potter fan feel that the casting is spot on. After the backlash the series faced with the casting of Professor Snape, this choice seems to have captured people's attention.

Janet McTeer is a British actress and a formidable presence, primarily due to her height. With her powerful voice, she possesses the ability to read an instruction manual and still earn a Pulitzer Prize. She is recognized for her performances in Tumbleweeds, Ozark, and Jessica Jones, where she excelled with remarkable skill.

Maybe these were some of the reasons that Harry Potter's producers considered her for the role that Maggie Smith immortalized. Harry Potter is a beloved franchise that lives in the hearts of millions of people. Whenever producers try to fiddle with it, fans alert themselves so that their beloved characters are not harmed in any way.

Ever since the news of the making of the new Harry Potter series came out, people have been curious to know the new cast. For now, the process hasn't been pleasing with the potterheads not approving the new Professor Snape. And now, if the rumors are to be believed, Janet McTeer might be taking lessons to say "bumbling babbling band of baboons."

Fan reaction to Janet McTeer being considered for the role of Professor McGonagall

The reports of Janet McTeer being considered for the role of Professor McGonagall have not received the same intense reaction as Paapa Essiedu being cast as Professor Snape.

But that doesn't mean that it is all sunshine and rainbows. Sensitive Potterheads have sharpened their wands and have expecto patronum-ed the makers with their rib-tickling reactions.

One user, @Cineaesthetic1, tried to show their passive aggression with this comment,

"They'll be announcing James Corden as Dumbledore at this rate"

Another user, @LockeGames, had another funny comment to add,

"HBO actors have a look these days. Like they were pulled from Skyrim or something."

One more user, @PabloShicasso, showed their disdain for the casting with this comment,

"Did anyone ask for this?? I think not..."

User @Zehne4 had a sarcastic comment to add,

"I'm surprised they didn't cast Derrick Lewis for the role."

Looks like user @VictorVega659 didn't receive the memo about Maggie Smith and wrote this comment,

"This is bullshit. Get the original actor to play the role."

Help is never given in Hollywood to those who want it. (via @_SchusterDev)

For now, Janet McTeer is only being considered for the role, and fans are really riled up. Can you imagine what will happen if she gets cast and messes up the role?
