Ralph Fiennes is Lord Voldemort!

fiennes.jpgLadies and gentlemen, I present to you a flawless piece of casting: starring as Lord Voldemort in the upcoming fourth Harry Potter film, and presumably all subsequent Potter films as well, is Ralph Fiennes.

I thought they may have cast Voldemort a bit older than this, but frankly I’m very gald they didn’t. Fiennes is absolutely perfect. I can’t imagine anyone better suited for the part and I’ve got to say the Potter people have done a stunning job of stocking the support roles with stellar actors throughout the entire series. There aren’t a lot of actors who could move comfortably from a Cronenberg film to a ‘children’s’ film, but Fiennes has got the chops to pull it off.

  2. OH Wow!! Ralph Fiennes to me is so so HOT! He is such a great actor and totally immerses himself in a role. I’ll go and watch the movie cos hes in it. Ive seen him in ‘Wuthering Heights’ and he was so intense, bad, sexy all in one.

  5. Well Im not too sure who Ralph is, but I’ve been worried that they would get somebody like Ian Mclellan (sorry if i havn’t spelled that right) which would have been a big let down. As for his ability to look like Voldemort, make up does a lot and i think that as soon as he has been through the make up process he will find the character. He wont approach such an important character like voldemort without doing his research first. He’s an actor not an idiot.

    I say goodluck to him!

  7. I like it very mutch!!

    When I first heard about Lord Voldemort i√Ǭ¥d think that hemust be handsome… And I like this! But i think he is a little bit to sweet to play voldemort…

    but that what i think….

  9. I dunno whether Ralph will be any good at the playing the role of Voldemort – I mean there is no denying the fact that he is a gogeous actor – but from the one picture I have seen of him playing the part well its just not what you imagine Voldemort to be like – normally you visualise this really nasty piece of work that is snake like and almost inhuman because he has split his soul by killing that many times! But we shall have to see maybe he can behave in a way that makes the viewers really cower in fear?

  11. A legendary selection no doubt. Ralph Fiennes is a supreme actor, and a far far better choice than John Malkovich. That is a laughable suggestion!

  12. LMAO haha u no who would make a good voldemort??? michael jackson >:D

    he allready has themakeup down aaaaaaaand he likes to mess with little boys >:D hahaha jk Ralp is hawt

  13. I was always on the ‘good’ side when reading Harry Potter books. But for the movie, i’ve got to go for the bad guy now ! (.. aren’t you afraid the little kids will switch side too ? ;-)

  16. Wow he is a gifted actor, if you look long enough you can actually imagine him as the older counter part to the actor who played Tom Riddle in CoS! I mean old Voldie cant be ugly if 16 yr old Tom isnt a piece of work rite? RAlph is great in Schindler’s and Red dragon If you havent seen them-do, consider it research…

  17. omg!!! i’m not a that big of a fan of harry potter but i love ralph fiennes!!!!!! I’ve seen him in schindler’s list (omg!!! he was sooo good. i felt bad because he was the bad guy, but he was so… human) and i saw him in the english patient. he did a great job in that movie too. i’ve seen others, but those struck me as the best. be careful, he might want to make you love voldemort though… he somehow always makes you feel bad for the bad guy. (and he is supa hottttt!!!)

  18. When I saw Maid in Manhattan I thought Ralph was a sweet and sensitive man…, but if he’s going to play evil Lord Voldemort it must mean that he’s an EXCELLENT actor coz it doesn’t matter who he is.., He’ll be GREAT!!!! I know he will!! great job of choosing him as lord voldemort!!!!!

  22. Ralph Fiennes is going to be a scary Voldemort! I imagine just him with red eyes and it make me feel some fear… John Malkovich was a great choice too. I have seen “Les Mis√ɬ©rables” and he was so scary in his role of Javert, a policeman. Anyway, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” is going to be one of the best movies of cinema’s history!

  25. well i spose they will put some make up on him , i mean, hes not really tall, skeleton thin, with red pupils and a snakelike face, is he? so i dont know..well just have 2 wait n see

  26. He’s going to be great! I saw him in the movie Wuthering Heights. He was really mean but you still wanted to like him. I can’t wait to see how they turn him into Voldemort!

  27. Danielle–I’ve seen him in Schindler’s List!! He was sooo good!!! But I felt kinda bad because I was like “he is sooo hott!!!” and his character was this evil guy…I am a big fan of Harry Potter (I love Rupert Grint) and Ralph Fiennes–so I can’t wait to see it!!

  28. Have you seen Ralph in Schindler’s List. Man the guy can act! I was so excited when I saw the cast list for HP4. One of my friends is in there as well and so I couldn’t wait for it to come out. But now I say: Hey folks bring on the film!!

  30. I’ve never seen any of his films but i hope he is looks REALLY SCARY(not hott) because that is the point of voldemort right? hes supposed to be scary to everyone.

  35. Interesting casting. Ralph is hot which means that Voldemort will be hot as well. Hmmmmm….. strange but possibly entertaining. Perhaps Voldemort fanclubs will emerge after this movie comes out. Good news for people who like the bad guy. JK.

  38. Ralph as Voldemort? Great!!!!! I just love him, he´s an excellent actor, and I´m pretty sure he´ll mke a great Dark Lord.

    Thumbs up for Ralph!!!

    The only sad thing is, I hoped until the end, that he would play Lupin. He would have been much better than the guy who got the role in the end.

  39. OMG!!
    yes!dat is truly a good choice!i loved him in Red Dragon, n yep yep, he’s capable of bein a badass!! kudos to d casting ppl!!

    i din like d guy who played Lupin in the 3rd movie tho..seems to..daft..

  40. Ralph Fiennes is the only person capable of doing a role like this. He is the master of all these Dark people. He WILL and CAN pull this off. Just watch.. and he’ll prove it.
