Ralph Fiennes Endorses Cillian Murphy as Voldemort in HBO's Harry Potter Series

The original Voldemort actor praised Murphy's talent and called the casting suggestion 'wonderful' during a recent interview.

Ralph Fiennes, who portrayed Voldemort in the Harry Potter films, has publicly supported Cillian Murphy as a potential successor for the role in HBO's upcoming series.
Fiennes described Murphy as a 'fantastic actor' and expressed enthusiasm for the idea during an appearance on Bravo's 'Watch What Happens Live.'
The Harry Potter TV series, expected to premiere in 2026 or 2027, aims to be a faithful adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s books and will feature a new cast.
Casting for the series is ongoing, with no official announcements yet, though Murphy's name has gained traction among fans for his intense and complex performances.
Fiennes has previously stated his willingness to reprise the role of Voldemort if approached, but he has now shown strong support for passing the torch to Murphy.
