Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss the lack of casting for Voldemort and what that might mean for the TV show. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 1:19 If we haven’t had an official casting, we might have a story that isn’t based around the trio. Of course the story is going to be centered around the trio because that is what it is, but having a big buildup around Voldemort might suggest the filmmakers are going to explore his character more.· 7:31 Traits that we need. Voldemort needs to be cool and collected. Without his calmness, he can’t have his flying rages that show us the vat of acid underneath. He also has to have a haunted air to suggest something greater about his past. Finally, a fire that is fueled by rage is a necessity for the villain of the series.· 19:10 Possibilities. Tom Hiddleston? He clearly has emotional depth, but his screen presence isn’t as grandiose. Cillian Murphy? Fantastic cool demeanor and haunted nature complimented by his passion. A great option. Benedict Cumberbatch? Looks the most like Voldemort and has the snake acting down to a tee. Another great option.Having anything you want to hear or say?
