Ahahahah! Benedict Cucumber as Lord Voldemort is pretty funny😅 I think that Zendaya would be good Hermione. Especially, if Tom Holland would be HP😏 But... in such interpretation Ron would have no chance😅 Such a "spidery" story... Sorry🙈

I think Danny Trejo could be a great Hagrid. But not so kind.
Perhaps this hero would have given Harry a bottle of whiskey instead of the cake))
