Mr Bean to play Potter villain
By SEAN HAMILTON
MR BEAN star Rowan Atkinson is to play evil Lord Voldemort in the next Harry Potter movie.
He is set to become the wizard’s arch enemy in Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire.
It marks a huge change of fortune for the comic, who was recently treated for depression after critics savaged his last movie — spy-spoof Johnny English.
Dad-of-two Rowan checked into the Cottonwood clinic in Arizona late last year for treatment.
A Hollywood source said: “It’s a very major career change for Rowan.
“He has been looking to spread his wings and branch out into other roles.
“He doesn’t want to be the nice guy or the rubber-faced chap forever.”
Filming for the fourth movie based on J.K. Rowling’s books is due to start in April.
Hollywood bible Variety revealed Rowan, who was 49 yesterday, will be the first human incarnation of Voldemort — who previously only appeared as a spirit.
He finally emerges when his “Death Eaters” manage to bring him back to life.
Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson return in their roles as Harry, Ron and Hermione.
The third movie, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, is currently in the final stages of production and will hit cinemas on June 4.
But Goblet of Fire should be even more spectacular.
The highlight is the Quidditch World Cup, featuring 100,000 witches and wizards competing on broomsticks.
I saw the guy who's supposed to play Pettigrew and he's just how i imagined him. Actually i think i saw the picture on this site...just check Harry Potter section on the main page. And I don't see why Rowan wouldn't be able to be Voldemort...They're obviously going to tweak his voice to sound a little more snake-like and he did a whole movie saying nothing at all except 1 time he said "Magic!" in his goofy Mr. Bean voice. Make up does wonders now days...
potter fans, i give you...voldemort
Rowan Atkinson to play Lord Voldemort!
