Jason Isaacs claims that Meryl Streep should play Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter series of the HBO: “It can do anything”

While the audience had fun Jason Isaacs in HBO The white lotus Season 3, it will always be Lucius Malfoy for a long time Harry Potter fan. So when the variety asked who should have taken the cloak imminent Harry Potter Restart the series, he did not hesitate … and his answer was surprising.

“Meryl Streep,” said Isaacs. “He can do anything, that woman. There is no limit to what he can do literally.”

Not exactly what you would expect, but after a beat, it could work. We have seen Streep to be cold, calculating and terrifying in projects like The devil wears Prada, In the woods, The iron ladyAnd its absurdly wide range. I guess he could work if he exchanged Lucius with his wife Narcissa Malfoy and had given her that evil role.

At this point there are only two actors confirmed for restarting and include Jon Lithgow like Albus Dumbledore e Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape.

The series is scheduled to lengthen seven seasons, each suitable for a book from the original JK Rowling saga. So there is still time for the wild casting oscillations if the creative team decides to travel that road.

Isaacs has also recently reflected on his time by making the original films. “They were not so funny to make,” he admitted, adding that it is “boring enough to make great films of special effects”. But what remained with him was not the process, it was the impact.

“However, the pleasures all come later. I see and encounter people for whom their lives have been changed from it, and the people who read and share it with their children. Some people say that their lives have been saved by it and I think.”

Starting now, we will only have to wait and see what the creative team has planned behind the series and who will produce in the role of Lucius Malfoy, but I doubt that we will see Streep brandish a wand like Lucius Malfoy.
