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.

Chris Columbus, the director behind the the first two original Harry Potter movies, has revealed he wants nothing to do with the rebooted HBO series. “No, I’ve done it, you saw my version,” he told Variety on Thursday.
