The Harry Potter TV series has kept the fans intrigued over the casting of Voldemort. According to media reports, HBO has locked in an actor to play the villainous character, but the makers will not reveal the identity ahead of time. While the show based on J.K. Rowling 's novels is highly anticipated, fans wonder if Cillian Murphy or Matt Smith will play the role of the main antagonist. As the guessing game continues over the actor playing Voldemort, it is clear that Ralph Fiennes, who portrayed the character in the Harry Potter movies, will not reprise his role in the TV show.

The decision echoes the character's 'He Who Must Not Be Named' tagline, reinforcing the aura of mystery and fear surrounding Voldemort's identity. Meanwhile, the rumors circulating on the internet have provided two names, who could be the perfect fit for the role.

Previously, it was reported that Murphy was roped in for the character of Professor Quirrell. Though no confirmation was given by the Warner Bros. Studios, the CEO, Channing Dungey, said, 'We're still weighing a couple of different options there, so we're not quite ready there yet. That's an important role to get right.' Later, it was confirmed that the role went to Luke Thallon. What is the Harry Potter TV series about?

Potter will be played by Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton will star as Hermione Granger, and Alastair Stout will take on the role of Ron Weasley. Established stars will appear alongside them, with John Lithgow playing headmaster Albus Dumbledore, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape and Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid.
