H2: New trailer showcases Monopoly GO! x Harry Potter crossover
A fresh trailer accompanying Monopoly GO!’s latest crossover dropped alongside the game’s seasonal launch on Dec. 10. The short video sends Mr. Monopoly through Platform Nine and Three-Quarters and into a reimagined wizarding world, offering fans a first look at the game’s stylized interpretations of familiar characters — including Lord Voldemort and Severus Snape.
Monopoly GO! has redesigned Hogwarts locations, characters, and mini-games to match its mobile-board aesthetic. The seasonal event runs through Feb. 4, 2026, and is available as a free download on iOS and Android.
H3: How Voldemort and Snape appear in the new trailer
The trailer does not use live-action footage but instead presents simplified, game-friendly caricatures of the franchise’s icons. Voldemort and Snape appear alongside Harry, Hermione, Ron, Hagrid, and other figures from the films, adapted to fit Monopoly GO!’s visual style. These are promotional, stylized representations for the mobile event rather than new film or TV character reveals.
A key in-game feature is the expanded Sticker Album, which includes 23 themed sets covering characters, creatures, and artifacts from the films. Some packs contain Chocolate Frog Boxes with chances to unlock rare “Famous Witches & Wizards” stickers, emojis, and house crest shields.
H3: What this means for the Harry Potter TV reboot
Separately, the long-anticipated Harry Potter TV series — a seven-season adaptation with each season tied to one of J.K. Rowling’s books — continues production. While the Monopoly GO! trailer gives fans a graphical first look at Snape and Voldemort within a game crossover, the TV reboot’s casting news is still unfolding.
Paapa Essiedu has been announced in the role of Severus Snape for the series. The role of Lord Voldemort, however, has not yet been publicly cast or revealed. The TV adaptation’s ensemble also includes John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, Katherine Parkinson as Molly Weasley, Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, and Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger.
Francesca Gardiner leads the series as writer and executive producer, with J.K. Rowling, Neil Blair, Ruth Kenley-Letts, and David Heyman attached as executive producers. Mark Mylod will direct multiple episodes.
H4: Availability and what to watch next
The Monopoly GO! event is live now through early February 2026 and is free to download on mobile stores. The Harry Potter TV series remains in production, with Season 1 expected to premiere in 2027. For now, fans can enjoy the trailer’s playful, stylized takes on Voldemort and Snape while awaiting the live-action TV portrayals.
