December 4th 2024.
As soon as the news of a Harry Potter TV reboot hit the headlines, fans were buzzing with curiosity about who could possibly fill the shoes of the beloved characters. From well-known names to up-and-coming talents, people have been speculating about the cast of the upcoming HBO adaptation.
While some are eagerly anticipating the show, others have expressed their concerns about the author JK Rowling's controversial views on the transgender community. This has led to a mixed response from fans, with some even threatening to boycott the show. But for those who are excited about the latest developments, the guessing game of who will play iconic characters like Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Dumbledore continues to intensify.
One character that has sparked a lot of discussion is Lord Voldemort, aka Tom Riddle, the terrifying antagonist of the series. In the film franchise, several actors have taken on the role at different stages of his life. But it was Ralph Fiennes who left a lasting impression with his spine-chilling portrayal of the dark wizard. As we look towards the future TV series, many fans are rooting for Cillian Murphy, known for his intense and transformative performances in shows like Peaky Blinders, to take on the role. However, there are also other strong contenders who are worth considering.
One of the top contenders for the role of Voldemort is Oscar-winning actor Cillian, who has received a lot of support from fans. With his ability to embody terrifying characters and his piercing blue-eyed stare, many believe he would be the perfect choice for the powerful villain. On Reddit, one user praised Cillian's "incredible range" and pointed out his knack for playing villains. Another user added that Cillian's portrayal of Tom Riddle, before he becomes the feared Voldemort, would be something to watch out for. His chilling performance as the Scarecrow in Batman Begins in 2005 is a testament to his potential to bring out the menacing side of the character.
But could Ralph Fiennes, who played Voldemort in the films from 2005 to 2011, make a comeback for the TV series? Some fans seem to think so, despite his previous stint in the role. In a recent interview, the 61-year-old actor expressed his openness to playing the character again, and even hinted at his interest in future Harry Potter projects. It's no surprise that fans consider him a top choice for the role, especially since Empire readers voted Voldemort as one of the top 10 best movie villains of all time.
Another familiar name that has been thrown into the mix is Joseph Fiennes, Ralph's younger brother. Best known for his chilling performance as Commander Fred Waterford in The Handmaid's Tale, Joseph has also received praise for his roles in Shakespeare in Love, Elizabeth, and American Horror Story: Asylum. Some fans believe it would be a genius casting choice to have him play Voldemort, especially since his brother has already taken on the role in the films. It would also be a family affair, as their nephew, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, played a young Tom Riddle in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
And last but not least, some think that Paul Bettany, known for his roles in A Beautiful Mind and The Avengers, would make a "horrifying" Voldemort. His intense and versatile acting skills have made him a fan favorite, and it's not hard to imagine him taking on the role of the dark wizard.
As the speculation continues, we can only wait and see who will ultimately be chosen to follow in Ralph Fiennes' footsteps and bring Lord Voldemort to life on the small screen. One thing is for sure, whoever takes on the role will have big shoes to fill.
