As HBO works on a new adaptation of the Harry Potter series, fans are wondering about its casting. According to some rumors, the actor Cillian Murphy, recently awarded Oscar for Oppenheimer, could play a major role in the show!
Cillian Murphy in the cast of Harry Potter?
Despite the economic difficulties it is going through, the Warner Bros. Discovery group is not lacking in ambition. Its management has affirmed its desire to fully exploit its biggest licenses, such as The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones and Harry Potter. Thus, more than ten years after the conclusion of the saga in the cinema, and while Fantastic Beastsmay not be entitled to a new installment, HBO is working on a series adapting the seven novels of the literary cycle of J.K. Rowling.
Obviously, the bet is audacious: first of all, J.K. Rowling is no longer in the good books, and the many controversies that the Scottish writer drags behind her risk weighing heavily on the production and promotion of the series; then,the new cast will have to assert itself against the memory embellished by nostalgia of the exceptional one from the cinematic saga. Also, if we expect HBO and Warner to recruit beginner actors to play the main trio, there is no doubt that the series will be able to count on big stars to play the adult wizards.
