If you, too, fell for the rumour that Cillian Murphy would be the next “He Who Must Not Be Named,” in HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series, we don’t blame you!
From Ralph Fiennes giving his blessing to Murphy potentially taking on the role during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live in 2024, to fans’ relentless speculation online, about the same, pouring more fuel on an already blazing rumor.
Now, Murphy has delivered the final word on the matter – and Potterheads, it’s not what you want to hear. Not after witnessing Fiennes’ scary performance as Tom Riddle, the Dark Lord who has haunted audiences for decades. Fans were hoping for someone equally commanding to fill those shoes. And for many fans, Murphy felt like the “chosen one.”

In an interview with The Times, Murphy hilariously yet bluntly shut down the speculations. “I’m categorically not. Can you make that the headline?” he said.
Well, there goes the hope of seeing him don the role.
This is not the first time Murphy has dismissed the rumours. Last year, during an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, he admitted that he wasn’t aware about the fancasting, saying “I don’t know anything about that.”
So far, every major role in the upcoming series has been filled except for the arch-nemesis. And thus, the hunt continues.
The Harry Potter TV series is currently slated to premiere in early 2027.
