Thailand may be a world away from the magical halls of Hogwarts, but that hasn't stopped Jason Isaacs, star of The White Lotus Season 3, from sharing his thoughts on who should take over his iconic role as Lucius Malfoy in HBO's upcoming Harry Potter TV series. In a recent interview with Variety, Isaacs suggested none other than Meryl Streep for the part.
"Meryl Streep," Isaacs declared, praising her versatility. "She can do anything, that woman. There’s literally no limit to what she can do." Streep has previously showcased her range by playing a man in the HBO miniseries adaptation of the epic play Angels in America, where she portrayed an elderly male rabbi among other characters. Given her track record, it's clear she could bring a unique flair to the role of Lucius Malfoy.
Isaacs first brought Lucius Malfoy to life in the second Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and continued to portray the character through to the final film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. As for the new adaptation, only one casting has been confirmed at the time of this article's publication.
