Cillian Murphy rumored for Professor Quirinus Quirrell in Harry Potter series
Cillian Murphy might be the front-runner to portray the role of Professor Quirinus Quirrell in the Harry Potter reboot. Industry scooper Daniel Ritchman recently shared this rumor on his Patreon, mentioning that the Oppenheimer star is being “eyed to play Professor Quirinus Quirrell in the Harry Potter show.” However, as of now, there is no confirmation from Warner Bros regarding Murphy’s casting.
Professor Quirinus Quirrel was portrayed by actor Ian Hart in the first Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in 2001. This isn’t the first time Murphy has found himself in rumors related to the Harry Potter TV series.
Previously, a rumor suggested that the makers of the reboot were considering the Peaky Blinders actor for the role of the main antagonist of Harry Potter, Voldemort. But there is no confirmation on this as well from the studio.
As reported by ComingSoon earlier, Ralph Fiennes, who played Voldemort in the movies, gave his approval on Cillian Murphy taking up the character. In a December 2024 interview with Andy Cohen, Fiennes reacted to the rumors and stated, “Cillian is a fantastic actor. That’s a wonderful suggestion. I would be all in favor of Cillian. Yeah.”
The details regarding the casting of the Harry Potter TV series are still under wraps. According to Deadline, the casting for the roles of the golden trio, Harry, Ron, and Hermione was ongoing as of 2024 end.
