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.
It’s expected that, as with the film series, the three main roles will be filled by currently unknown acting talent.
And a number of the grown-up parts are now filled - with Nick Frost playing Rubeus Hagrid, John Lithgow cast as Aldus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer taking on the role of Minerva McGonagall, and Paapa Essiedu tackling Severus Snape.
Some smaller parts are also taken, with Paul Whitehouse and Luke Thallon playing Argus Filch and Professor Quirinus respectively.
But there are plenty more big parts up for grabs, including the Dark Lord himself - Lord Voldemort.
Here are the 11 actors tipped to success Ralph Fiennes (including Ralph himself) according to gambling.com
5. Ralph Fiennes - 3/1
