CARD INFORMATION
The biggest obstacle ofHarry Potter branded HBO will inevitably be represented by the iconicity of the original cast: being able to replace the various Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Alan Rickman and so on in the hearts of fans is a difficult if not impossible undertaking, but someone will have the burden of trying.
While the debate on the casting of Hermione is already igniting, therefore, let’s try to imagine who HBO could decide to bet: let’s start by specifying that we consider the three protagonists excluded from the discussion, since, given the very young age of our trio of wonders at the time of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, we take it for granted that they will be new generations inevitably unknown to most .
Let us therefore come to all the others: making our own the hypotheses relaunched in these hours by Screenrant, let us therefore think of a possible Dumbledore played by Brian Cox, on the strength of the enormous popularity of Succession; staying on the subject of teaching staff, the idea of entrusting the role of McGonagall to Olivia Colman (who, we add, could also be a sensible choice for Dolores Umbridge) seems quite valid to us, just as we would not see a bad Hagrid played by Nick Frost.
This is definitely dangerous ground Severus Snapewhich our source would like to be interpreted by Barry Keoghan: the age of the star of The Spirits of the Island, however, actually corresponds to that of the Snape in the first book of the saga, and who knows what it can’t help to avoid, as far as possible , the comparisons with that totem that is Alan Rickman.
Staying at Hogwarts, Regé-Jean Page he could in fact turn out to be a credible Gilderoy Lockhart, just as Tom Hardy, well accustomed to rough-mannered characters, suitably made up could give us a splendid Mad-Eye Moody; Dev Patel also seems to possess the right sweetness to give life to a good Remus Lupine, and we would certainly do false papers to see Andrew Scott as Quirrell.
We’re finally out of the confines of school: Aaron Taylor-Johnson arguably has the perfect slapstick face to play the hothead that he is Sirius Black, while the silver wig sported in House of the Dragon offers us an all too easy assist to imagine Matt Smith as Lucius Malfoy. AND Voldemort? Screenrant’s suggestion bears the name of Benedict Cumberbatch: what do you think? Let us know yours in the comments! HBO, meanwhile, has declined to comment on the JK Rowling controversy.
