Kevin McKidd, widely recognized for his portrayal of Dr. Owen Hunt in 'Grey’s Anatomy', has found himself at the center of casting rumors for HBO's upcoming Harry Potter adaptation.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, McKidd acknowledged the buzz, stating, 'Never say never,' which indicates he is open to the possibility. He also shared his deep admiration for the Harry Potter series, revealing that he was once offered a role in the final two films of the original franchise but had to decline due to contract commitments with his show 'Journeyman'. Reflecting on that decision, he expressed regret over missing out on the opportunity, saying it still makes him sad. As excitement builds around the new series, McKidd's potential involvement has fans hopeful that he may finally get his chance to step into the wizarding world.
