Harry Potter New TV Show: 25 Castings That Must Happen

4. Mark Strong As Voldemort

Let's not beat around the bush: Mark Strong would freaking kill it as Voldemort.

He's one of the finest character actors in the business, and even when stuck in terrible films like Sherlock Holmes or 6 Days, he always knocks it out of the park.

Strong is an absolute master at playing villains, he looks the part, and he'd surely be able to render Voldemort as the terrifying, evil, and inhuman villain that he is. Of course, it'd be hard to follow-up Ralph Fiennes' stunning turn as Voldemort in the films, but Strong would be a, well, strong pick for the task.
