Ралф Файнс: Кой ще е новият Волдемор в сериала за Хари Потър?

A potential casting reveal for the highly anticipated HBO series based on the Harry Potter books occurred unexpectedly during a recent film premiere. Ralph Fiennes, who famously portrayed Lord Voldemort in the original film franchise, seemingly let slip that actor Cillian Murphy is slated to take on the role of the dark wizard in the new television adaptation.

A Slip of the Tongue

Fiennes was speaking on the red carpet at the premiere of “28 Years Later: Temple of Bones” when asked about who he thought should succeed him as Voldemort. According to The Sun, he responded, “I was told it’s already been cast, hasn’t it? I think Cillian Murphy is very good. Very good choice.” A video shared on TikTok shows Fiennes appearing momentarily panicked after making the statement, questioning if the information was already public knowledge.

Did You Know? The upcoming HBO series will present a new interpretation of the Harry Potter story, adapting the beloved books for a television audience.

Fiennes then turned to his team, asking, “I don’t know. I thought they had.” This accidental disclosure has ignited speculation among fans, though Murphy himself previously denied rumors of the casting while appearing on Josh Horowitz’s “Happy Sad Confused” podcast. He acknowledged that his children had shown him online speculation, but stated, “I don’t know anything about that. It’s also very difficult to inherit anything that’s been done by Ralph Fiennes. That man is an absolute acting legend, so good luck to whoever gets that part.”

Fan Reaction and Confirmed Cast

Online, reactions have been mixed, with some fans expressing doubt that Murphy will ultimately play Voldemort. One fan commented that an actor who recently won a major acting award would likely not take on a role in a television remake. Others suggested Fiennes may have simply been mistaken.

Expert Insight: Accidental casting reveals, particularly from actors closely associated with a franchise, are not uncommon. The pressure of public interviews and the desire to avoid directly contradicting official announcements can sometimes lead to such slips.

Currently confirmed cast members for the series include John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, Papa Essiedu as Severus Snape, and Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid.
