The “Oppenheimer” star wishes everyone the best of luck who tries to step into the very big footsteps of Ralph Fiennes.
The new “Harry Potter” series from HBO is one of the master-warted TV projects in recent years. Despite an exciting cast, the role of Lord Voldemort is not taken over by Cillian Murphy.
Recommendations of the editorial team
In the past few weeks there had been claims that the Oscar winner could play the evil counterpart of the Zaber apprentice. But Murphy now cleared the rumors charmingly and did not necessarily make it easier for the person who was soon selected to get involved with the “Harry Potter” adventure.
“My children occasionally got me that I should do it, but no, I don’t know about it,” said the 49-year-old in the podcast “Happy Sad Confused”. “It is also really difficult to replace Ralph Fiennes (played Lord Voldemort in the Potter films, editor’s editor). The man is an absolute acting. So good luck for the person who will step into his footsteps.”
“Harry Potter” series: A season for every book
The HBO series, which has been announced for a long time, wants to close the gaps from the films and take details from the books more into account. There should also be a season for each book. The main roles are already occupied: Dominic McLaughlin plays Harry Potter, Alastair Stout becomes Ron Weasley and Arabella Stanton slips into the skin of Hermine Granger. Draco is shown in the series by LOX Pratt.

Potter director Chris Columbus is skeptical
The series highlight still has to prevail against the overwhelming pictures of the film competition. “Harry Potter” director Chris Columbus (staged the first two parts) is skeptical that this can be done well. He likes that details that have been spotted in the films can now focus more on the focus, but sees the risk of an aesthetic copy without its own charm.
The series also includes John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape and Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall. Bertie Carvel will also play the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge. There is a reunion with Warwick Davis, who will represent Professor Filius Flitwick as in the films.
