Gary Oldman performed Sirius Black within the Harry Potter franchise, however he just lately advised IndieWire that he didn’t seem within the films sufficient.

“I love, Sirius,” Oldman stated. “He wasn’t in it enough. He turned up and then he went through the veil.” After Oldman’s first look in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, he made a cameo in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and confirmed up in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the place he was killed off. He made one other cameo in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, however all in all, not loads of display screen time for the Academy Award-winning actor.

With the upcoming Harry Potter TV collection, there’s room for more Sirius Black, and whereas Oldman isn’t anticipating to reprise the function, he can be open to a different. “I would bet my money that they will get a whole new cast of people,” Oldman stated. “Maybe in just a few years, I might do Dumbledore.“

Although Oldman would have liked more screen time in the movies, he has also been very critical of his performance in them. “I think my work is mediocre in it,” Oldman said last year. “No, I do. Maybe if I had read the books like Alan, if I had got ahead of the curve, if I had known what’s coming, I honestly think I would have played it differently. I’ll tell you what it is. It’s like anything if I sat and watched myself in something and said, ‘My god, I’m amazing,’ that would be a very sad day because you want to make the next thing better.“

He later clarified his remarks, saying they weren’t meant to disparage any Harry Potter fans, it’s just that he’s always hypercritical of his own work. He added that had he known the entirety of Sirius’ arc, he might have approached the character differently. “There was such secrecy that was shrouded around the novels, they were under lock and key. And had I known from the very beginning, if I had read the five books and I had seen the arc of the character, I might have approached it differently. I may have looked at it differently and painted in a different color,” Oldman said. “So when I started Harry Potter, all I had was the book, The Prisoner of Azkaban, and that one representation of that man. One book in the library of Sirius Black. And that’s kind of what I meant by it. It’s not me looking at the movie and saying it’s a terrible film or I’m terrible, I just wish it had been under different circumstances. That’s what I meant, not to be rude to any of the people out there who like that film.“
