Ralph Fiennes, who played Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter film saga, has an idea about who should play the villain in the HBO TV series. In a new interview, Fiennes named Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy as the actor who should play the villain in the television adaptation.

Voldemort actor Ralph Fiennes is giving his blessing to Cillian Murphy to take over the role of the infamous “Harry Potter” villain should the “Oppenheimer” Oscar winner want to in HBO’s upcoming television series.

This answer was in response to fans asking the Conclave star who he’d like to see play He Who Shall Not Be Named. They had thrown the Oppenheimer actor’s name in the ring, and in response, Fiennes enthusiastically supported the pitch for his 28 Years Later co-star.

HBO's Harry Potter television adaptation is eagerly anticipated, and not just because it will bring the Wizarding World back into mainstream media in a new way. One of the main reasons audiences are excited about the project is that it could, and should, have elements that differentiate it from the movies.

Ralph Fiennes, who played Voldemort in the 'Harry Potter' movies, said he is "all in favor" of Cillian Murphy taking the part in the upcoming TV series.

Cillian Murphy, who won an Academy Award for his chilling titular turn in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, is being eyed for Voldemort in Harry Potter series.
