There have always been some similarities between Harry Potter and Game of Thrones. Both explore mythical worlds with fantastical creatures, include grand battle scenes, bloodshed, and magic.
And now they have another commonality to add to the list: Miranda Richardson.
The Churchill star played Rita Skeeter in the series about the boy who lived and has now been cast in the prequel to the HBO series.
The idea from Kingsman: The Golden Circle screenwriter, Jane Goldman, has been described as taking place thousands of years before the Westeros we know and will not feature any of the characters we’ve come to know during Thrones’ eight seasons.
Richardson will be joining a cast that already includes Naomi Watts, Josh Whitehouse, Naomi Ackie, Denise Gough, Jamie Campbell Bower, Sheila Atim, Ivanno Jeremiah, Georgie Henley, Alex Sharp, and Toby Regbo.
She best gear up for a long night…
