It’s now been nearly 14 years since the eighth and final part of the Harry Potter film series hit cinema screens – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 was released in 2011.
And it’s a remarkable 24 years since the first film in the series was released, introducing the world to the then little-known acting trio of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.
Since then three parts of the ‘Fantastic Beasts’ series, starring Eddie Redmayne, have been added to the Potterverse.
But now fans of the boy wizard have something new to look forward to, with a Harry Potter television series in the works.
Streaming service Max (formerly HBO Max) will be making it and last year had an open casting call for young actors from the UK and Ireland to play Harry, Ron and Hermione - with the three young unknowns set to be propelled to global stardom announced last month.
They join several actors who have been previously been confirmed to take on the parts of the adult figures of the Potterverse - including such loved figures as Hagrid and Snape.
And now another set of casting decisions have been announced - including Hogwarts pupils, teachers, and villains.
But there are plenty more big parts up for grabs, including the Dark Lord himself - Lord Voldemort.
Here are the 13 actors tipped to success Ralph Fiennes (including Ralph himself) according to gambling.com
5. Matt Smith - 5/2
Former Doctor Who Matt Smith was fairly monstrous in 'Last Night In Soho'. He might fancy another role as a baddie, and is a 5/2 shot to play Lord Voldemort. | Getty Images
6. Ralph Fiennes - 3/1
'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'. If the Harry Potter casting team reckon that's the case then they could do worse than sticking with Ralph Fiennes who was so good in the original films. He's currently hot property after being Oscar-nominated for 'Conclave' and is 3/1 to be tempted back to the world of boy wizards. | Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images
7. Damien Lewis - 4/1
Damian Lewis has appeared in some of the biggest television series of recent year, including 'Band of Brothers', 'Homeland', 'Billions' and 'Wolf Hall'. He's 4/1 to add Harry Potter to his extensive CV. | Getty Images
8. Paul Bettany - 5/1
Famous for playing J.A.R.V.I.S. and Vision in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Paul Bettany is a 5/1 shot to be cast as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named in arguably the world's second biggest franchaise. | Getty Images
