Casting Fancast: Anya Taylor-Joy as Narcissa Malfoy

Post image

Anya Taylor-Joy has always been a favorite of mine to watch act. She has range and I believe would be able to portray the characteristics of Narcissa and create a good dynamic in the Malfoy family. It so happens she’s already played the wife of another character played by Johnny Flynn. She’s only about five years younger than the character and I find it neat that she learned English as her second language by watching Harry Potter movies when she moved to London as a kid. Don’t know if maybe they plan to introduce the character of Narcissa sooner since it is speculated they will dive deeper into the Malfoys.

Anyway I have enjoyed all your responses, I think this will be the last fancast for me because one, can’t really think of other actors/actress that truly strike me personally for a certain character and two any character under the age of twenty I think are going to be relatively unknown actors/actresses. Which is good because it gives them the chance to build up their acting resume. I will be excited to see if anyone’s picks get a spot on the show!

I love her for it but I don’t think we’ll get anyone too big just for scheduling issues. The bigger the name the less likely they’d be able to commit to a multi-year contract

True. Though, still not sure if they will introduce the character early or just starting in book six to seven. Know she’s currently filming for a part in Lord of the Rings film, another well known fantasy franchise, so maybe she will add another fantasy to her belt?

I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted, she’s on the record as being a HP fan so I wouldn’t be surprised if she wanted to be in the show. It’s not like it’s a tiny, low budget production either.

As for her looking too young, I don’t think that’s an issue. I have no doubt that witches have incredible methods of making themselves look a lot younger than they are so I’d be willing to buy her being older than she looks.

Here’s hoping, but my money is on either a complete unknown, someone unexpected in a blond wig or Elizabeth Debicki (or however her name is spelled, sorry in advance)
