The Wizarding World has been buzzing with excitement ever since rumors began circulating that HBO Max is developing a series centered around the founders of Hogwarts. The much-anticipated project would explore the origins of the legendary school, focusing on its four iconic founders: Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Helga Hufflepuff, and Rowena Ravenclaw. As speculation grows, fans are eager to know who will be cast in these pivotal roles — and two major names have recently emerged: Henry Cavill and Tom Hiddleston.
Henry Cavill Responds to Godric Gryffindor Role
Following the casting rumors, Henry Cavill, best known for his portrayal of Superman in the DC Extended Universe, has officially responded to the news that HBO Max is considering him for the role of Godric Gryffindor. While the actor has yet to confirm his involvement, he has acknowledged the rumors with his usual charm and enthusiasm.
“I’ve heard the rumors just like everyone else, and while nothing is confirmed, the idea of playing a character like Godric Gryffindor is definitely intriguing,” Cavill said in a recent interview. “Gryffindor is a legendary figure, known for his courage, bravery, and leadership. It’s an honor to even be considered for such an iconic role. We’ll have to wait and see what the future holds.”
Fans of the Harry Potter series have long admired the character of Godric Gryffindor for his bravery and his pivotal role in establishing one of the most respected houses at Hogwarts. With Cavill’s strong, commanding presence, many believe he would be a perfect fit for the role.
Tom Hiddleston Cast as Salazar Slytherin
On the other hand, Tom Hiddleston, the fan-favorite actor behind the charismatic and complex Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is reportedly set to play the cunning and ambitious Salazar Slytherin. Slytherin is one of the four founders of Hogwarts, famous for his belief in blood purity and his creation of the house that shares his values of ambition and resourcefulness.
While neither HBO Max nor Hiddleston has officially confirmed the casting, the news has sparked much excitement. Fans are already envisioning Hiddleston bringing his trademark charm and depth to the role of Slytherin, whose complicated legacy is bound to offer ample room for an engaging portrayal.

The series, which is expected to explore the creation of Hogwarts and the founding of its houses, promises to be an exciting addition to the Wizarding World. By focusing on the relationships, ideals, and challenges faced by Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw, the show aims to provide fans with a deeper understanding of the magical institution that has captured the hearts of millions.
As Cavill and Hiddleston continue to capture the imaginations of fans, the series about the Hogwarts founders is shaping up to be a must-watch for anyone who has ever dreamed of exploring the roots of the wizarding world.
