Adam Driver is now the betting favourite to play Severus Snape in the new HBO Harry Potter series

Betting markets remain open on the upcoming HBO Harry Potter series with betting sites offering odds on who will play some of the biggest characters on the show.

Severus Snape is a key figure in the Harry Potter universe and odds are now given on who will play the character with Adam Driver leading the betting market at 3/1.

American actor Driver has been a big name amongst fans of Potter for a number of months since the HBO series was announced due to his similar characteristics to Alan Rickman's portrayal of Snape.

The late Rickman was one of the biggest stars in the Harry Potter movies with his role as Snape arguably one of the most eye-catching across the film franchise.

It could take a big actor to portray Snape next then and there aren't much bigger than Adam Driver with the American a Hollywood star.

Aneurin Barnard and Oscar Isaac follow behind in the market

Aneurin Barnard and Oscar Isaac are joint second favourites in the market at 7/1 to star as Snape in HBO's Harry Potter series with bookies putting them a fair distance behind Driver.

Probability-wise they are actually given half the chance that Driver is of starring as Snape with their probability at 12.5% compared to Driver's 25%.

Isaac has achieved massive mainstream success in recent years with his role in the Star Wars franchise in the same cast as Driver.
