Production has officially begun for HBO’s Harry Potter TV show, which has a confirmed release window of 2027. The two year wait has already been made to feel even longer thanks to reports the company has cast the role of ruthless villain Voldemort, but won’t be announcing who’s playing him.
According to Redanian Intelligence as seen by Comic Book Resources, a source hasn’t only claimed that HBO has no current plans to announce their Voldemort, but the first two seasons on the show’s supposed 10-year tenure are being filmed back to back.
Instead of waiting for 2027 to come around, I’ve decided to try and solve the mystery myself. Given the first looks at Dominic McLaughlin’s Harry and Nick Frost’s Hagrid, I’m going to assume our Voldemort will look exactly how we expect him to. With that in mind, my five choices of which actor should play the villain should each be absolutely perfect.
