While there hasn’t been any official announcement about the casting for HBO’s Harry Potter reboot, fans are actively sharing their dream casts. This highly anticipated series is set to debut next year, marking the first time the beloved story will be adapted for television.
The story will take viewers back to the beginning, focusing on the tale of a boy who survived. Harry Potter uncovers the roots of magic, enrolls at Hogwarts, and faces off against the dark lord himself, Voldemort. Recently, fans have been discussing casting rumors, particularly about who could replace Ralph Fiennes in the role of Voldemort, with many suggesting Cillian Murphy.
Murphy, acclaimed for his performances in “Peaky Blinders” and the Oscar-winning “Oppenheimer,” has emerged as a fan favorite for the role of Voldemort. Numerous fans have flocked to social media to share their thoughts on how Murphy would portray the character in the reboot. One fan even shared an edited image of Murphy as the snake-like wizard, prompting others to comment on their vision of Voldemort.
Among the comments, one user expressed their ideal vision of Voldemort resembling David Bowie, noting his reptilian features and how they may fit the character. User Sickburnbro contributed by sharing descriptions from the books, suggesting a fresh interpretation of Voldemort’s appearance to differentiate this version. They proposed changes to the character’s iconic nose, drawing inspiration from snakes found in nature.
As filming is expected to commence soon, it seems fans will get to see new concept art of Voldemort before long, as many are eager to witness a different take on the character.
