Paul Bettany Reacts to Voldemort Casting Rumours for HBO’s ‘Harry Potter’ Series
Paul Bettany, a fan of the Harry Potter franchise, has not been contacted to play Voldemort despite being a preferred candidate, with casting still unresolved.
- On Sunday, Paul Bettany told Screen Rant he has not been contacted about playing Lord Voldemort and said he is a big fan of the IP and HBO.
- Reporter Daniel Richtman linked Paul Bettany to the role, reporting HBO preferred him as Season 1 production in the UK continues and Voldemort casting remains outstanding.
- Among confirmed performers are John Lithgow as Dumbledore, Paapa Essiedu as Professor Snape, and young leads Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout as Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley, with last week’s student casting confirmations.
- The part remains uncast, and Paul Bettany has said he has not been contacted about playing Voldemort, while Cillian Murphy denied involvement last week.
- Looking to 2027, the scale of the series is underscored by Warner Bros. Discovery planning a seven-season run on HBO Max as a major streaming event.
