Yesterday, they announced the official statement on who will play Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The original rumor was John Malkovich, but he stated himself he will not be playing Voldemort. Richard Fiennes, Star of the film Red Dragon, will portray Voldemort in the film. He plays an excellent villain, but honestly he is too young for Voldemort. Your thoughts?

well make-up can do wonders

MIRANDA RICHARDSON?

QUEENIE????



OMG!

he should play a good bad guy....... he was SUCH a weirdo in Red Dragon....I thought so at least

Veeeeeeeeeeeery interesting, im so excited for this movie guys, they have so much to portray. Itll be interesting to see how they do it all. Especially Voldemort

i hope they dont cut too much...i dont care how long the movie is but it makes me mad whenever they cut a good part from the book

This is off topic, but it would have been great if Robin Williams would have played Professor Lupin.

The guy from Maid in Manhatten...is gunna play the evil Lord Voldemort? well, not that i've seen the movie, but i heard he was really creepy in Red Dragon!

yup

I think voldemort should be played by Rowan atkinson like everybody thought.

eww.
*wretches*

i cant put his face with the character tho ...

But rowan atkinson is the funny nasty guy all over

blackadder...

I don't think Fiennes is too young for Voldemort. And Rowan Atkinson is both too old and IMO not suitable.

Too old?!?!

Voldemort is in his 60s you know....

Voldemort has been hankering after immortality and wizards age more slowly anyway.

Should have known that since this subject is news and not "OMG RON IS SO CUTE" it wouldn't be seeing much action in here.

Not sure what i think about casting Ralph - he was unconvincing in Red Dragon but I remember how chilling he was in Schindlers List...

I saw him on the stage in BRAND last summer and he can certainly do Intense - bottom line, at least he can act: The folks suggesting Mr Bean need to go outside and take a deep breath, thats the most asinine thing i've heard in years.

i think it'd be wired having rowan as you - know - who because i'd just be think about mr. bean the whole time... i dont see him playing an evil dark lord... but ralph Fiennes will be great hes really freaky in red dragon ...

No, i dont.
What you need to do is go, and realise rowan atkinson did far better things than mr bean.

Shows you probably havent ever bothered to watch

He can be a convincing bad guy you know.

I think

He ^ is how i imagined sirius...just give him the hair...

who knows he mite turn out to be a really good fit for the charcter

cuz we rowan mite be good but most peps mite not be able to take him seriously ... as a baddy

So - I saw him in Not the Nice O'clock news from 1979 -1983 : Saw him with Peter Cook in the early 80's. Ten years later watched him avidly in Blackadder I-IV , seen his one man live shows, seen him in the secret policemans ball, seen him guesting on Fry and Laurie, showing up most years on the BBC comic relief appeal, Seen the Tall Guy, Four Weddings, Both seasons of Thin Blue Line, The great commercials that the crappy Johny English were based on and even caught a few of the (to my taste) unfunny BEAN shows.

He's a funny funny bloke. Never once saw him be a convincing bad guy - please, what did I miss?

Well hes the type of guy voldemort is
You cant say voldy isnt a humourous guy

Anyway, even if he hasnt been a bad guy yet, doesnt mean he cant be.

Its you people with closed minds....

he has hasnt he in scooby doo ...

I give up.

rrrite

Erm, is it just me or is Voldemort gona be fit!! It definately looks possible with Ralph Fiennes playing him! Hell, he was even fit as that evil german in Schindlers List!!! lol!

have you ever seen him in Strange Days??

WOW! hes that fit im speechless! xx

Nope

Ive seen him in Red Dragon and Maid in Manhaten........I think he will b pritty good 4 da role

Me too. I think he is ideal.

he'll definately do us proud! xx

Yup
