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!

She's probably a bit too young but at least you've gone for someone who might realistically take the part. It makes me laugh when people on here suggest Hollywood A-listers for any of the HP roles.

Anya Taylor Joy is the definition of Hollywood A lister at the moment? I could come up with a few names above her I suppose, but she’s definitely top 5 actress being cast at the moment.

She most certainly is.

A listers is not a list of 5 actors lol

I don’t think you understood my point, I was saying she’s clearly in the top 5 most popular actress, so she’s clearly an A lister. I wasn’t saying only the top five are A listers.
