Voldemort Casting Odds Heat Up as HBO Potter Series Gains Traction
As anticipation builds for the reboot of HBO’s Harry Potter, betting platforms are fueling speculation on who may portray Lord Voldemort, one of the saga’s most renowned characters.
With momentum following a 2024 Oscar win, Murphy, with odds of 6/4, stands out as a frontrunner.
His intense presence and talent for dark, complex roles position him as an ideal candidate for a more grounded interpretation of Voldemort.
Recent odds suggest he has a significant chance of landing the part, bolstered by a 40% probability based on reports linking him to the role.

Cillian Murphy seems like a logical choice for HBO. He has been gaining recognition over the past few years, and his performances consistently convey a subtle yet intense threat. A fresh take on Voldemort might be needed, but Ralph Fiennes shouldn’t be overlooked either. He has a solid fan base, and HBO may prefer to combine his familiar presence with new casting, especially for such an iconic role.
