Gary Oldman Says New Harry Potter Series Will Outdo the Films

Gary Oldman is backing HBO's upcoming "Harry Potter" television adaptation over the film franchise he was once part of. The actor, who portrayed Sirius Black across four "Harry Potter" movies, said he expects the new series to leave fans more satisfied than the original films did. Oldman's comments mark one of the more notable endorsements yet from an alum of the movie franchise for the show's approach to the Wizarding World.
