Harry Potter: Fan-Casting The Inevitable Cursed Child Movie

5. Cara Delevingne As Delphi Diggory

Why She's Right For The Role

One of Cursed Child's new additions is Delphi Diggory, Amos Diggory's niece, who's later revealed to be (spoilers!) the daughter of Bellatrix Lestrange and Lord Voldemort.

She's playful, wicked and will do anything to get what she wants (including time manipulation), even going as far as killing a child, Craig Bowker, on her mission to stop Lord Voldemort's failed attempt on Harry's life on that fateful night in 1981.

Delevingne not only looks slightly crazy, but she plays it well, too; from Suicide Squad to Paper Towns, she's constantly offbeat, lovably weird and fully commits to a role, even though not all turn out that well.

She's got that seductive voice and look that would be perfect for Delphi, who manages to hide her true identity from our lead characters and gets them to trust her, and her proven ability to work in the blockbuster space wouldn't go amiss either.

Chances Of It Happening

Pretty good - Delevingne is hot property right now, with an appearance in sci-fi epic Valerian and a couple of dramatic roles in 2017, and if they all land, expect to be seeing her face even more than you already do.

She also likes to alternate between blockbuster and dramatic roles - Kids In Love, Suicide Squad, London Fields, Valerian - and a part in Cursed Child would - on the page, at least - be a nice mix of the two.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
