As the\u00a0Harry Potter<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>franchise prepares to revisit the wizarding world in a new TV series, fans are eagerly speculating about who could take on the iconic role of\u00a0Voldemort<\/strong>, aka the Dark Lord. However,\u00a0Ralph Fiennes<\/strong>, the actor who brought the legendary villain to life in the original film series, has picked his top contender to play Voldemort in the upcoming\u00a0TV show<\/strong>.<\/p>\n With the wizarding world getting ready to cast a new Voldemort, Harry Potter\u2019s own Ralph Fiennes has weighed in on who could possibly follow in his footsteps. The actor has shared his thoughts on his ideal successor for HBO\u2019s upcoming Harry Potter series in an interview this week. \u201cWell, I remember being asked the question once we\u2019d shot the total film series \u2018would I reprise the part?\u2019 and this was some years ago,\u201d Fiennes shared on Friday\u2019s episode of\u00a0The Claudia Winkleman Show<\/a>.<\/p>\n At that time, the Red Dragon actor had expressed enthusiasm about returning to the wizarding world. However, despite his willingness to reprise the role of Voldemort, there were no efforts to bring him back. \u201cBut then nothing\u2019s happened,\u201d he added. \u201cI think that ship has sailed.\u201d<\/p>\n However, Fiennes is excited about the prospect of a former costar taking on the Dark Lord\u2019s mantle. He is particularly fond of Tilda Swinton as a potential candidate, saying she would be amazing in the role. The acclaimed actress has a proven track record of playing powerful, otherworldly characters. Her credits include the White Witch in The Chronicles of Narnia, the Ancient One in Doctor Strange, and supernatural roles in films like Suspiria and Only Lovers Left Alive.<\/p>\n While the Harry Potter series hasn\u2019t announced its Voldemort pick yet, one actor Potterheads can rule out is Cillian Murphy. He shut down rumors of playing the ruthless wizard, asking\u00a0The Times<\/a>\u00a0to even make it headline news.<\/p>\n HBO is launching the Harry Potter series at the end of 2026.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Sibanee Gogoi on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Harry Potter\u2019s Ralph Fiennes Names His Top Pick for Voldemort in TV Show<\/a> appeared first on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As the\u00a0Harry Potter\u00a0franchise prepares to revisit the wizarding world in a new TV series, fans are eagerly speculating about who could take on the iconic role of\u00a0Voldemort, aka the Dark Lord.
