As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for all things magical, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the upcoming Harry Potter show on HBO. The casting call for the young trio has ignited a flurry of excitement and anticipation among fans worldwide.
Since HBO revealed plans for a new Harry Potter series, there’s been an explosion of speculation and guesses about potential cast members online.
Recently, HBO announced an open casting call a few days ago, seeking kids aged 9 to 11 who might take on the roles of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley in their upcoming production.
With the showrunners seeking actors, there’s a lot of excitement about getting involved in the production, so many people are eager to join the cast.
Matt Rife As Lord Voldemort?!
3 days ago, J.K. Rowling, set to serve as the show’s executive producer, shared the UK audition notice.
So, this is happening…

As I scrolled through the responses to that tweet, it was Matt Rife, a well-known comedian, who caught my eye with his witty remark.
He asked Rowling whether he could play “He Who Shall Not Be Named”.
As a fellow enthusiast, let me clarify that when he mentions him, he’s talking about Tom Marvolo Riddle, more famously recognized in the wizarding world as Lord Voldemort.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve found myself caught up in a heated debate among fans over whether the actor, who I believe was just kidding, could pull off the role convincingly if he were to be cast.
Although some people think Matt Rife resembles a younger Tom Riddle, others are less convinced about his abilities.
One user summarized the latter opinion pretty well:
Bro you’d be a solid sorting hat
So regardless whether he was joking or not, if he really wants to audition, nothing’s stopping him. Except for his fully booked world tour that will last till the end of 2024, maybe.
What do you think? Would you like to see Matt Rife as a Harry Potter character?
