News about additional casting for HBO’s Harry Potter reboot has been leaked, revealing Nick Frost as Hagrid and Dominic McLaughlin as Harry, among others. So far, many of the main characters have been announced, including members of the Golden Trio, John Lithgow as Professor Dumbledore, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, and more. Game of Thrones’ Anton Lesser has joined the cast as Wandmaker Garrick Ollivander in the latest round of casting. With filming now scheduled to begin, we can expect more roles to be filled. Interestingly, a character that wasn’t initially expected to appear in Season 1 has already reportedly been cast.

HBO has cast Lord Voldemort for “Harry Potter” Season 1, and the Dark Lord will appear across multiple episodes. In an effort to maintain secrecy about the actor playing Voldemort, HBO intends to keep his identity hidden until the episodes air. This strategy is expected to be a significant achievement in today’s media-driven world.
It was pointed out that Voldemort has been chosen and will show up in multiple episodes, but HBO is choosing not to reveal his casting yet. They want to keep it a secret until the season premieres. Whether they manage to maintain this secrecy remains to be seen, given how eagerly anticipated this series detail is.
According to the same source, Harry Potter is expected to feature six episodes per season. Filming for Seasons 1 and 2 will be done consecutively, starting with the first season where we see Harry Potter and his classmates embarking on a journey across water to Hogwarts. It’s puzzling as to why they would cast the Dursleys if this information is accurate. However, it’s important to note that this report should be taken with a pinch of salt. Redanian Intelligence has a history of providing inside information from time to time.
Initially, Cillian Murphy garnered support among fans and betting odds to portray Voldemort, a scenario that seems more like hopeful speculation given his background. However, it’s worth noting that Ralph Fiennes was an award-winning actor when he underwent a nose alteration to play the character of Tom Riddle. So, while it may seem unusual, unexpected events do occur in the world of cinema. That being said, Fiennes didn’t assume the role of Voldemort in the initial film; instead, that role was filled by Richard Bremmer, who depicted the growth of Voldemort’s face from Ian Hart’s Quirrell head. Therefore, if Murphy were to fully embody Voldemort, it would mark a departure from the books’ portrayal.
It’s possible that Voldemort could make an appearance in flashback scenes to show the night Harry Potter survived his death curse in Godric’s Hollow. However, doing so extensively across several episodes might disclose information that was intentionally kept hidden in the books for future surprises. While it’s not entirely out of the question, such a change could feel jarring and unexpected.
