After Mark Rylance for the role of Dumbledore…
Twelve years after the release of the last film in the saga Harry Pottera new series adapting JK Rowling’s books was announced in April 2023. During the months following this announcement, little news has filtered out about this project. But now, production was increased.
Last September, an event was launched that many British children were waiting for: the casting for the interpreters of Harry, Ron and Hermione. A name has since been proposed for another character in the saga. We learned this a few weeks ago Warner Bros. was targeting Mark Rylance to play Albus Dumbledore. And now, one actor is positioned as the favorite to play another cult character in the universe Harry Potter : Severus Snape.
…Paapa Essiedu is the favorite to play Rogue in the series Harry Potter !
Alan Rickman made his mark with his portrayal of Severus Snape in the films Harry Potter. Warner Bros. and HBO will therefore have to find an actor capable of taking on the onerous task of succeeding him in the role of the potions professor. However, according to information from Varietythe producers of the series have a precise idea of the actor capable of covering such a role. Thus they woo Paapa Essiedu to play Rogue.
Just like Mark Rylance, Currently, Paapa Essiedu has not signed any agreement to star in the series Harry Potter. But that’s how it is the favorite to become the new interpreter of Snape. The English actor has already collaborated with HBO for the miniseries I could destroy youfor which he was also nominated for an Emmy in the Best Supporting Actor category. He recently appeared in a film alongside Saoirse Ronan The Outrun.
Ralph Fiennes wants to see Cillian Murphy play Voldemort
If Mark Rylance and Paapa Essiedu agree to play Dumbledore and Snape respectively, the casting of the series Harry Potter it will then begin to take shape. Recently a name to play Voldemort has also started to circulate: that of Cillian Murphy. Ralph Fiennes recently approved this choice. But unlike Mark Rylance and Paapa Essiedu, we don’t know if the Irish actor is wanted by the producers of the series.
Despite this, the show’s casting is progressing well behind the scenes. However, the new adaptation of the story imagined by JK Rowling will arrive on our screens a little later than expected. Recall that, although HBO was aiming for the year 2026 for the release of the first season, in the end it will probably only arrivein 2027. Furthermore, it will be difficult for production to offer us one season a year.
