Monopoly GO! trailer reveals Voldemort and Snape
A new trailer for the Monopoly GO! mobile crossover dropped recently, giving fans a stylized first look at iconic Harry Potter characters — including Lord Voldemort and Severus Snape — redesigned to fit the game’s visual style. The short spot follows Mr. Monopoly as he passes through Platform Nine and Three-Quarters and into a wizarding-world version of the board game.
What the trailer shows
The trailer doesn’t use live-action footage from the films. Instead, it presents cartoon-like, collectible representations of characters such as Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Harry Potter and the darker figures Voldemort and Snape. These versions appear in sticker packs, themed mini-games, and seasonal maps inspired by Hogwarts Castle, Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade.
How to access the event
The Monopoly GO! Harry Potter event runs through February 4, 2026, and is free to download on iOS and Android. Players can unlock House Crest Shields after completing the first seasonal map, choose a Hogwarts house for their in-game profile, and collect stickers from an expanded album that includes Chocolate Frog Box rewards and rare “Famous Witches & Wizards” stickers.
TV reboot update: cast and timeline
While the Monopoly GO! trailer gives a first look at Voldemort and Snape in a gaming crossover, the upcoming Harry Potter television reboot continues separate production. The series — planned as seven seasons adapting each of J.K. Rowling’s original books — has revealed several principal cast members.
Confirmed casting and creative team
Notable cast announcements include John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Nick Frost as Hagrid, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, and Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter. Paapa Essiedu has been cast as Severus Snape. Producers include Francesca Gardiner as showrunner, J.K. Rowling, Neil Blair, Ruth Kenley-Letts, and David Heyman.
Voldemort casting not yet revealed
Despite the Monopoly GO! art and wider franchise coverage, the actor for Lord Voldemort in the television reboot has not been officially announced. The series is expected to premiere Season 1 in 2027; more casting details will likely arrive as production progresses.
Why it matters for fans of Harry Potter movies
Fans who grew up on the Harry Potter movies will find the new Monopoly GO! trailer a playful reimagining of familiar faces while the TV reboot promises a more detailed, episode-by-episode retelling of the books. Between mobile crossovers and the forthcoming series, the wizarding world continues to expand across media for new and returning audiences.
For now, the Monopoly GO! event is the quickest way to get an official, stylized first glimpse of Voldemort and Snape in this latest wave of Harry Potter content.
