Lenny Rush, the 17-year-old actor cast as Dobby in season 2 of HBO’s Harry Potter adaptation, is keeping the house elf’s screen treatment secret. Asked whether the role would involve makeup, motion capture or voice work, he declined to reveal which approach the production is taking.
Rush said he’s seen the plan for bringing Dobby to life and is pleased with it, but kept the technical details to himself. On his excitement about joining the series, he said: “What I will say is that I’m so excited. The only stuff I’ve seen is what everyone else has seen, the trailers for the first series.”
The adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s novels is scheduled to launch at Christmas 2026 with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Rush’s Dobby will appear in the second season, which adapts Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Toby Jones voiced the character in the films.
