Nolan's Favorite Will Be the Ideal Voldemort in HBO Series: Even the Director of 'Potter' Approved the Choice

Stills from the film 'Harry Potter'

It looks like the project's cast will be replenished with real stars.

The world of Harry Potter is gearing up for a new wave of popularity: the HBO series promises to be a major event for fans. Discussions around the upcoming adaptation do not subside — who will embody the iconic characters, including the Dark Lord Voldemort himself?

This question was unexpectedly answered by the director of the first two films of the franchise, Chris Columbus. In a recent interview, he spoke positively about the format of the series, calling it a great opportunity to show more details from the original books. However, his opinion on the potential casting for the role of Voldemort attracted special attention.

Columbus expressed delight at the idea of ​​​​involving Cillian Murphy, an Irish actor known for his roles in Peaky Blinders and Christopher Nolan films. Fans can already imagine how the charismatic Murphy will transform into Tom Riddle, imbuing his image with special depth and drama.

The HBO series will allow the creators to delve into the details of the magical world that were not included in the films due to limited running time. This gives a chance to show Voldemort not only as a powerful villain, but also to reveal his complex history of formation.

While there is no official confirmation of the casting, Murphy's candidacy is already causing heated discussions. His dark charisma and acting skills are perfect for the role of the most terrifying dark wizard.

Who do you see in the image of Voldemort? Share your versions — a magical adventure awaits us ahead, which will make us look at a familiar story from a new side.
