Harry Potter TV Series: Cillian Murphy or Matt Smith? Fans Guess Voldemort Casting as HBO Locks Actor But Keeps it Hidden

The upcoming Harry Potter TV series has left fans guessing about who will portray Voldemort, as reported by various media outlets. However, the creators have chosen to keep the actor’s identity a secret until a later date.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the television series adapted from J.K. Rowling’s books and speculate about who might portray the central villain. Could it be Cillian Murphy or Matt Smith?

I can’t help but feel a thrill of anticipation as the speculation swirls around who might embody the chilling presence of Voldemort in the upcoming TV series. However, one thing is crystal clear: the extraordinary talent of Ralph Fiennes, who breathed life into this iconic character on the big screen, will not return to the role for the small screen version.

Who will play Voldemort in the Harry Potter TV series?

In the veil of secrecy enveloping the actor portraying Voldemort, rumors swirl that this is a calculated move by the producers. This tactic mirrors the character’s “He Who Must Not Be Named” moniker, enhancing the air of mystery and terror surrounding Voldemort’s true identity.

Currently, there’s a buzz online suggesting that Matt Smith and Cillian Murphy might be ideal choices for the role. Fans believe these actors could deliver a compelling portrayal of the character.

It was clear that the Oscar-winning actor was the preferred choice out of the two options, and this preference was also acknowledged by Fiennes. Earlier reports had indicated that Murphy was cast as Professor Quirrell.

According to Channing Dungey, the CEO of Warner Bros. Studios, they are considering several possibilities regarding that role, suggesting it’s not finalized just yet. She emphasizes the importance of getting this role right.

Later, it was confirmed that the role went to Luke Thallon. 

What is the Harry Potter TV series about?

Back in 2023, I was thrilled to hear about the upcoming TV adaptation of the beloved Harry Potter series. Ever since then, fans like myself have been buzzing with anticipation as we eagerly await the magical tale’s return to our screens. Just this past month, HBO unveiled some tantalizing glimpses into the world of Harry Potter, featuring Dominic McLaughlin stepping into the shoes of our beloved hero, and Nick Frost bringing Rubeus Hagrid to life in a way that truly captures the essence of the character. I, for one, can’t wait to see more!

As a die-hard devotee, I can hardly contain my excitement! The enchanting narrative of this forthcoming show is rooted in the captivating works penned by none other than the legendary J.K. Rowling herself. This magical journey will be meticulously crafted across an astounding seven seasons, each one dedicated to a single novel from her extraordinary series.

The show will be debuted on the TV screens in 2027.
