Succession star Brian Cox is 4/1 second favourite in the betting market

Succession actor Brian Cox also features in the betting market after a massive couple of years for him as an actor after starring in one of the biggest shows in television.

Scottish actor Cox looks like he'd be a fitting Dumbledore and the betting market shows that too with his probability of starring in the role at 20% according to the odds.

Cox has played some massive roles in the past including starring as Winston Churchill in the 2017 movie Churchill about one of Britain's greatest figures.

Odds also available for Lord Voldemort's actor with Bill Nighy favourite

Further betting odds look at other roles in the upcoming HBO Harry Potter series with Bill Nighy the early favourite at 3/1 to play another iconic role in the series in Lord Voldemort.

Voldemort is Harry Potter's nemesis and will be one of the biggest roles in the whole series and it's Nighy who the bookies think could be the one playing one of the biggest villains of all time.

Ralph Fiennes starred as Voldemort in the Harry Potter films and he also features in the betting market here with his odds at 5/1 as the third favourite behind Nighy and Benedict Cumberbatch.

Who will play Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter TV series? Odds Probability
Bill Nighy 3/1 25.0%
Benedict Cumberbatch 4/1 20.0%
Ralph Fiennes 5/1 16.7%
Gary Oldman
6/1 14.3%
Mads Mikkelsen 13/2 13.3%
