In a major update for the most awaited series, ‘Harry Potter’, Lord Voldemort has reportedly been cast, but will not be disclosed till the release.

Filming started in July 2025 at Leavesden Studios, the same location where the original film series was filmed.

According to sources close to the production, the decision to keep the casting confidential is aimed at building excitement and mystery around the new take on the iconic villain.

The upcoming series on Max (previously HBO Max) aims to faithfully adapt the original books, with each season set to highlight one novel from the cherished fantasy series.

While the official names are not revealed, at least two actors are highly in the spotlight or possibly already involved in playing ‘The Dark Lord.’

Rumors are circulating that Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy and Doctor Who alum Matt Smith are the top choices for portraying the terrifying role.

Both actors have the ideal appearance for screen presence and the traits needed to portray the most feared dark wizard of all time.

As casting news gradually comes in and production starts to gain momentum, fans can look forward to more informative updates in the months ahead.

Until then, the mystery of Voldemort’s new face remains unsolved.
