Very rarely do you ever see spinoffs and sequels/prequels to a show/film ever succeed.Game of ThronesprequelHouse of the Dragonis one of those rare exceptions, especially after the former’s controversial eighth season. Among the various grey characters in the show, Eve Best’s Rhaenys stands above the rest.

Best’s portrayal of Rhaenys has impressed a lot of fans, and they are eager to see her in other projects, including another Warner Bros. production. From the world of Westeros, to the wizarding world of Hogwarts.
Eve Best’s Rhaenys is one of the best characters inHouse of the Dragon
George R. R. Martin‘s characters usually walk a very thin line between good and bad. Rhaenys Targaryen is more on the lighter side, who often lets herconscience guide her judgment. Which is why she sees a part of her in her niece, Rhaenyra.
Fans have loved Rhaenys so far, andEve Best‘s portrayal of the dragonrider. She is a fierce warrior, who doesn’t shy away from confrontation and makes sure her voice is heard.

Eve Best has managed to bring out a maternal instinct in Rhaenys, which stands over her own ambitions. Something we can observe in another strong mother figure from a magical franchise.
Fans want to see Eve Best as Narcissa Malfoy inHarry PotterReboot
Eve Best’s portrayal of Rhaenys reminded fans of another headstrong character with similar traits. With aHarry Potterseries in the works, fans are already fan-casting roles, with Best being a prime choice for Narcissa Malfoy.
Some of the fans took to X and said:

warner brothers, i’m not implying anything but eve best as narcissa malfoy maybe???pic.twitter.com/hozSPv4Zbe
she knows how to wear silver in her hair, too!pic.twitter.com/Xm6Ak1Xe2z

yes if we’re talking about book Mcgonagall, she’s younger than in the movies
we can only hope for them to really make it more books accurate, we’ll see 🙈 I always headcanoned her as Mcgonagal too, but she’ll pull Narcissa amazingly too

oh YES. this is everything i could want.
Westeros itself has magic in its lore, and Eve Best will fit perfectly into the wizarding world. However, Helen McCrory’s legendary work as Narcissa in the Harry Potter films will be tough to beat. But looking at Best’s amazing skills, she might just be able to pull it off.
House of the Dragonis currently streaming onMax.
