With the new year quickly approaching, more rumors regarding the 2026/2027 Harry Potter Series have surfaced. Just a few weeks ago, we discussed Mark Rylance’s possibility of playing Headmaster Albus Dumbledore; now we have two more character candidates. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Paapa Essiedu has been offered the role of Professor Severus Snape. Negotiations are not confirmed. Thanks to an endorsement by Ralph Fiennes, we have another actor to consider joining the series. According to Deadline, Lord Voldemort himself believes that Cillian Murphy should be the man to take up the villainous mantle.
No casting is confirmed nor officially announced at this time.

Enough rumors! A Harry Potter panel, including executive producers Francesca Gardiner and Mark Mylod, revealed that the series is planned to begin filming this summer in Leavesden. It was stated that 32,000 children auditioned for Harry, Ron, and Hermione, leaving it highly unlikely to hear the casting of our main trio before the new year. It is important to note, especially with rumors, that our executive producer duo did comment that they are keeping the book character ages as opposed to their movie counterpart.
As for costume design, Deadline confirmed that Oscar winner Holly Waddington has been hired for the series.
