Fiennes played Voldemort for five Harry Potter films, making his debut in 2005’s Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The actor went on to play the villain for the remainder of the film series, which ended in 2011 with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.

He also returned alongside many of his fellow cast members, including Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), for a TV special in 2002 marking the 20th anniversary of the Harry Potter movies, reported People.

Fiennes has said he would “of course” reprise his role as Voldemort if asked, but more recently gave his approval for Cillian Murphy taking over the part, calling him a “wonderful suggestion,” as per the outlet.

Though who will play Voldemort in HBO’s upcoming TV adaptation of JK Rowling’s book series has yet to be announced, the actors starring as the main trio have already been confirmed. Harry, Ron and Hermione will be played by Dominic McLaughlin, Alastair Stout and Arabella Stanton, respectively, reported People. (ANI)
