With the Harry Potter series being reborn as an HBO show on Max, there’s been lots of speculation about who might play the beloved characters. One name circulating is Cillian Murphy, star of Oppenheimer, who could potentially portray the menacing Lord Voldemort. However, it’s important to note that no casting decisions have been made yet. Interestingly, Chris Columbus, director of the first two Harry Potter films, has expressed his support for this idea. On a recent episode of Watch Happens Live (via EW), he said, “Cillian is one of my favorite actors, so that would be fantastic. Cillian is an excellent actor. I think that’s a splendid suggestion, and I’d wholeheartedly support it.
Despite Ralph Fiennes’ impressive portrayal of Voldemort in the Harry Potter movies, Murphy could also excel in the role. Murphy has gained significant recognition through his work in the hit TV series Peaky Blinders, but it was his Academy Award-winning performance as the lead in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer that truly established him as a leading actor.
Since the Harry Potter: Max project is currently in its preliminary stages, details about it are scarce at the moment. However, it’s been disclosed that an audition call was issued for the primary roles – Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger. Furthermore, we know that characters from the Harry Potter books that were omitted in the movies will eventually make their appearance.
According to HBO, the upcoming series promises a fresh set of characters to captivate a new wave of fans, maintaining the intricate details and beloved Harry Potter figures that have enchanted audiences for over two decades. Each season aims to introduce Harry Potter’s magical tales to global viewers anew, while simultaneously preserving the original movies as the heart of the franchise, ensuring they remain accessible worldwide.
As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share that only a select few pivotal figures have been officially announced for the upcoming “Harry Potter” series. These include the showrunner Francesca Gardiner, costume designer Holly Waddington, and writer Laura Neal. The production is scheduled to commence this summer, with an anticipated release date somewhere between 2026 and 2027.
Casey Bloys, head of HBO and Max Content, shared that the upcoming series will span a duration of ten years, releasing one season annually. Given there are just seven main books in the series, viewers have pondered if the additional guidebook “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” might be used in the Max series. However, Warner Bros. has clarified that the show will stick to the core book series only.
On “Watch Happens Live,” Columbus acknowledged that the time constraints of producing individual movies necessitated the omission of significant portions from the original content. He expressed appreciation for having multiple episodes per book, stating, “I think it’s fantastic that they have the luxury of this approach.” This allows them to include everything from the series that was left out in our films, such as all those wonderful scenes we simply couldn’t fit into the movies due to time limitations.
The Harry Potter films are available to watch on Max.
