Ah, I think I figured it out - Janet McTeer - Minerva McGonagall (Confirmed)
I saw that she was confirmed for Harry Potter, but the phrasing made it sound like she was to play Harry Potter, not that she is just confirmed to play in the show. So never mind then.
Wasn't a women being cast to play Harry? Did I misread that somewhere?
I have not seen that anywhere.

John Lithgow can pull it off on his end. Everyone else? LHP fully supports Peter Dinklage as Rubeus Hagrid.
Good for Mrs. Rowling. Torquing off the gammabois is always a good sign.
This is a situation of wait for more info. But, the odds are that this will be done for the modern audience.
P.S. I would love for the show runners to prove me wrong.
