Cillian Murphy Denies He's HBO's Voldemort

A book-one focus in production points to a later casting reveal.

Overview

  • On the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Murphy said he knows nothing about the role and is not involved.
  • HBO's new Harry Potter series is filming the first season adapting the first book, with a premiere targeted for 2027.
  • In the novels, the antagonist does not fully regain a body until the fourth book, which helps explain why no actor has been announced yet.
  • Murphy praised Ralph Fiennes as an acting legend and wished luck to the eventual casting, joking that he is very attached to his nose.
  • Ralph Fiennes has expressed willingness to return, and Stern reports HBO confirmed Warwick Davis will reprise Professor Flitwick.
