Ralph Fiennes, who played Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter film saga, has an idea about who should play the villain in the HBO TV series.

Ralph Fiennes has given his seal of approval to Cillian Murphy, should the Oscar winner wish to play Voldemort in the upcoming Harry Potter television series. Earlier this year it was announced that HBO had begun casting for roles for a reboot series, inspired by JK Rowling’s best-selling series of novels.

Voldemort actor Ralph Fiennes is giving his blessing to Cillian Murphy to take over the role of the infamous “Harry Potter” villain should the “Oppenheimer” Oscar winner want to in HBO’s upcoming television series.

Ralph Fiennes backs Cillian Murphy to play Voldemort in HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter TV series, set to debut in 2026.

This answer was in response to fans asking the Conclave star who he’d like to see play He Who Shall Not Be Named. They had thrown the Oppenheimer actor’s name in the ring, and in response, Fiennes enthusiastically supported the pitch for his 28 Years Later co-star.

Ralph Fiennes, who played Voldemort in the 'Harry Potter' movies, said he is "all in favor" of Cillian Murphy taking the part in the upcoming TV series.

Cillian Murphy, who won an Academy Award for his chilling titular turn in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, is being eyed for Voldemort in Harry Potter series.
