He Who Must Not Be Named has been named

Friday, Aug. 6 2004 | Author: beatniklew

Voldemort has been cast, and evil, thy name be Ralph Fiennes.

So, we now know who will play the ultimate enemy for Potter in the next few movies. I don’t have a strong opinion on this, but perhaps other people want to comment on who they thought should have been it, or how excited they are about this turn of events in the comments.

UPDDATE: Because I was originally unclear, it is worth mentioning that Voldemort is a character in the phenomenally popular Harry Potter series. Harry’s arch-foe, in fact. If this explanation was needed, you have some reading and/or movie watching to do.

My first thought was, “What is Voldemort?” Then I figured out it was a Harry Potter character.

Thusly, I have no opinion, and this comment is in no way helpful or on-topic.

Why can’t you mention his name? Is he special or something?

Haha, I got it! Wow, Ralph Fiennes. He’s always played something ultra serious–the most light hearted he’s done is a romantic comedy with Jennifer Lopez, which came out of the blue.

Anyway, an amazing actor. If he’s as creepy as he was playing the Nazi in Schindler’s List, then he’d be the perfect villain.

I agree, I think that, if you think about it, Voldemort has to have some charm, otherwise, how could he get everyone to follow him. Ralph Fiennes can be both creepy (Schindler’s List) and charismatic (Quiz Show). A deadly combination.
