Believing in ourselves is always a crucial aspect that pushes us towards our goals. Nick Frost, a fan of the Harry Potter movies, wrote “Hagrid” 7000 times while watching the movies so that he could get the chance to play Hagrid in the upcoming Harry Potter series. Nick Frost adds that his partner suggested that he should try to “manifest it” so that he is able to achieve it.

Taking his partner’s advice, while watching all the movies “back to back on Sky Harry Potter channel” Nick Frost manifested for this role. It cannot be denied that the actor’s acting prowess would be a great addition to the series, and the casting directors chose the right candidate to bring life to our beloved Hagrid’s character in the series.

Nick Frost manifesting for the role also denoted the actor’s dedication to his art. He watched all the Harry Potter movies and also watches the movies once again during Christmas every year with his family. Nick Frost adds that they “start on 20 December and finish” the movies “a week and a half later.”

In a previous interview, Nick Frost admitted that he is “never going to try and be Robbie” while discussing his addition to the series. Robbie Coltrane undoubtedly did magic with Hagrid’s role in the movies, etching his name in the hearts of every Potterhead.

Frost admits that the “beauty” of being able to “do a book a season” enhances the opportunity to “explore” more. He is eager to bring life to Hagrid’s character in the Harry Potter series and wants the portrayal to be “funny and cheeky and scared and protective and childlike”.

In cases when the actors are deeply affectionate towards the project, their performances are able to resonate deeply with the viewers. In Frost’s case, as he himself is fond of the franchise, his performance is undoubtedly going to be worth watching. Some of Frost’s other notable projects that should also be on your watchlist are The Nevers, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, Why Women Kill, Into the Badlands, etc.

Besides Nick Frost, the other cast members of the series are Arabella Stanton, John Lithgow, Paapa Essiedu, Janet McTeer, Paul Whitehouse, Luke Thallon, etc. The filming of the series began in the month of July last year in England. HBO CEO Casey Bloys indicates that there will not be a huge gap between the filming of the first season and the second season.

The series has “lots of special effects,” hence, the time to finish undoubtedly takes longer. The series undoubtedly has a huge expectation from the fandom, as the movies have tried to bring life to the world of magic from the books. As each season will be about each book, the chances to explore more about the characters that were not included in the movies increase, raising the eagerness further.
