Jason Isaacs Has a Surprising Pick for Who Should Play Lucius Malfoy in HBO's Harry Potter TV Series

Author : Lucas Update:Apr 03,2025

While Thailand is a world away from the magical halls of Hogwarts, Jason Isaacs, star of The White Lotus Season 3, has intriguing thoughts on who should take on his iconic role of Lucius Malfoy in HBO's upcoming Harry Potter TV series. In a recent interview with Variety, Isaacs suggested none other than Meryl Streep for the part. "She can do anything, that woman. There’s literally no limit to what she can do," he praised. Streep's versatility is well-documented; she has even portrayed a male character before, playing an elderly rabbi in the HBO miniseries adaptation of the epic play Angels in America. Given her range, Streep could indeed bring a fresh take to the role of Lucius Malfoy.

Despite his strong endorsement, Isaacs humorously declined to offer any advice to Streep or any other potential Lucius Malfoy. "I wouldn’t have any advice at all. Why would I bother?" he quipped. He expressed confidence in the casting choices already made, noting, "I know some of the people they’re casting already. They’re brilliant actors. It’s going to be fantastic, and the last thing they need is advice from some old fart like me."

Isaacs first brought Lucius Malfoy to life in the second Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and continued to portray the character through to the final film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. As for the new adaptation, only one casting has been confirmed at the time of this article's publication.

John Lithgow is set to take on the role of Albus Dumbledore, a character previously portrayed by Richard Harris and Michael Gambon. The casting for other key roles, such as Severus Snape and Minerva McGonagall, originally played by Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith respectively, is nearing completion. Rumors suggest that Paapa Essiedu from Black Mirror is close to being cast as Snape, and Janet McTeer from Jessica Jones might portray McGonagall, though these have not been officially confirmed yet.
