 Rumor: Ralph Fiennes in Voldemort Summary:
Rumor: Ralph Fiennes is in talks to play Lord Voldemort In GOF Article: The Daily Mail Newspaper is reporting the following.
Artical:
Award-winning actor Ralph Fiennes is in negotiations to play Harry Potter's arch nemesis Lord Voldemort.
If contracts can be agreed, Fiennes will play the ultimate practitioner of the Dark Arts in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, which began filming at 'Harry's home' over at Leavesden studios last month.
However, scenes involving Voldemort aren't scheduled to shoot until the end of the year, which would suit Fiennes as he is currently in Kenya filming The Constant Gardener opposite Rachel Weisz.
That picture is based on John le Carre's novel and is being directed by Fernando Meirelles.
After that, the classically trained thespian will join Natasha Richardson and Vanessa Redgrave in the Merchant Ivory film, The White Countess.
Voldemort is an evil force able to possess the minds of others and get them to do his bidding.
He is generally referred to in J.K. Rowling's books as He Who Must Not Be Named, or You Know Who for short, and has, until now, not been seen - unless you count the glimpse of a disfigured face poking out of the back of the ill-fated Professor Quirrell's head like an overgrown boil in the first film.
But Fiennes would be an inspired choice, presumably on the part of Goblet director Mike Newell and producer David Heyman. The actor has already demonstrated a nice line in evil in the films Red Dragon and Schindler's List.
Next year, he hopes to play Hamlet for director Adrian Noble.
A spokeswoman for the Harry Potter film series told me: "Oh, he'd be really good, but there's no one in place yet. Obviously, they are speaking to people, but that role has not yet been cast."
In any event, the deal for Fiennes to play Voldemort would be complex because it would mean him signing to do three films.
Apart from Hamlet, which isn't a done deal yet, he has other stage plans for next year and 2006.
Fiennes's representatives would not take my calls, of which there were many.
End Artical:
Here is a picture of him

I think he would be a great role for him to play voldemort, that is if he is cast as voldemort. But i think he would be good at actin' voldemort. I saw the advert of Red Dragon, he plays the bad guy (i think) and i guess he's good. I think it's not true though, don't know whether it's a rumour. :unsure:

He is a lovely guy...he cant be the ugly and terrifing Lord Voldemort, and Ive always seen him playing the good boy.
I said from the first time, Jeremy Irons should play Lord Voldemort!!!, he is the best, and does such good bad guys. He was the villan in "Dungeons and Dragons" and "The Time Machine" (the only good thing that movie has). Oh! he also was the voice of Scar in "The Lion King". And he was...I cant remember his name...but the catholic Mosqueteer in "The Man in the Iron Mask" Just to show he can also play a good guy.

Jeremy Irons was the voice of Scar in the Lion King, not Ralph Fiennes.

Won't Ralph have to sign on for 4 films not three because there are 7 books in the series or are they only doin 3 films and combining books six and seven.

Wow, that is brilliant, I love Ralph Fiennes! I hope he gets the part, he is a great actor. If they keep the cast as is, there would be some amazing actors in there too, what with Rickman, Oldman and now Fiennes - AWESOME!! :flowersmile:

Hmmm... Not sure how I feel about Ralph Fiennes playing Voldlemort. (First of all, I didn't even realize he was British.) He might be good, though. They can do amazing things with makeup, so I'm not worried about his looks. It would be interesting. Guess we'll have to wait and see1
