In a free-flowing phase, fans of the anticipated remake of “Harry Potter” are expressing their creative casting suggestions without restriction, and one particular idea for the roles of Uncle Vernon Dursley and Aunt Petunia has sparked excitement on Reddit. User u/Tortellini_Isekai suggested that Matt Berry portray Uncle Vernon, while Phoebe Waller-Bridge take on Aunt Petunia, even providing an illustration demonstrating their fitting appearances for the roles. This post garnered thousands of upvotes and hundreds of comments, with many expressing that this is the most impressive casting idea yet for Harry’s Muggle guardians. Not only do they embody the characters as described in the books, they possess the acting skills to bring these over-the-top personalities to life.
In the Harry Potter movies, the characters Vernon and Petunia were portrayed by Richard Griffiths and Fiona Shaw respectively. Their acting was highly acclaimed by both critics and fans. Replacing these roles will be quite a challenge, but this new casting idea generated lots of excitement among fans. Berry is primarily recognized for her work in British sitcoms such as Toast of London and The IT Crowd, and more recently, for her role in Hulu’s humorous vampire series What We Do In The Shadows. Waller-Bridge gained notoriety only a few years ago as the creator, lead writer, and star of Fleabag.
Honestly, the only thing I really want in the new series

Representing the Dursleys isn’t an easy task, as there are numerous ways to approach it. The early Harry Potter books and movies often portray their mistreatment of Harry with a touch of humor or irony. At times, Harry appears more annoyed than deeply affected by their behavior. However, it’s not until he has the opportunity to develop his personality beyond their home that he truly reflects on the damage they caused him.
In essence, the upcoming remake series might strive to emulate the original tone, yet it could opt for a unique twist. The aim of the show is to deliver an extremely accurate portrayal of the books, which means our guardian characters should be as flamboyant and repressed as the source material suggests.
Just as with any casting decision for a Harry Potter production, there’s speculation about whether Berry and Waller-Bridge would be willing to accept these roles. J.K. Rowling is an executive producer on this project, and despite her controversial stance against transgender rights, the studio has chosen to continue working with her. Some actors have publicly stated they wouldn’t participate in this show due to Rowling’s views, and a number of fans are boycotting the series as a whole. Actors involved may find themselves having to address uncomfortable questions about this topic, and could potentially face backlash from certain parts of the fanbase.
To date, the only officially confirmed casting detail is John Lithgow portraying Professor Albus Dumbledore. Although some other rumors appear credible, HBO has not yet validated them. The Harry Potter series is currently being filmed and is anticipated to air in 2026.
