No it's not. Even your link doesn't state that.

It’s all based on a rumor from Daniel Richtman that they auditioned males and females for the role. I don’t think anything else has been announced.

Seems unlikely that JKR would be on board

Thanks. Richman is one of the worst "scoopers" out there. Just wait till the trades announce it

Hard to believe they’d cast a woman villain of this magnitude. If it is a woman, she’ll be the victim of some straight white male to justify her evil.

I'm sure they're torn. They want to do the gender (and/or race) swap just by instinct. On the other hand, they're making a woman the overarching villain in case of Voldemort. Perhaps the prestige of the role might override that latter concern.

Quite the pickle they have at this juncture...

Exactly - they'll have to bend over backward to tell a Cruella or Wicked type backstory to justify (or explain away) the villain's evil actions.

They don't have to do that if they keep the villains predictable male, pale and stale (and preferably conservative).

It’s already on life support. The viability of this show is on a razors edge.

Thats not what the article says...

quote:

According to Comicbook, the casting process for the franchise’s most feared villain is open to actors “of any gender”, raising the possibility of a female Dark Lord

How did people get so stupid?
