| | |  Ralph Fiennes not in Half-Blood Prince, hasn't signed for Deathly Hallows
In a recent interview during promotion for his new film , In Bruges, Ralph Fiennes, who portrays Lord Voldemort in the Potter films, said that he will not appear in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and has not yet signed up for the final film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Fiennes reminisces about his experience under Mike Newell's direction in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. He admits that until the premiere of the film, he never really read the series. "[At the] premiere of the first one I did, I got a real sense of the extraordinary nature of it all." Quote: Capone (of Aint It Cool): Are you even in THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE?
RF: The one they're shooting now, no, I'm not in it.
Quote: Capone: So it's just your nephew that's playing…
RF: My nephew is playing, I think just for a couple of scenes, the younger Voldemort [Tom Riddle]. I understand that the bulk of the bulk of the backstory of Voldemort is played by another, slightly older actor [Frank Dillane].
Quote: Capone: And have you signed on for the final film yet?
RF: I have not yet, no.
Quote: Capone: Has it been fun seeing yourself rendered serpentine for the two films your are in?
RF: Yeah, I particularly liked doing the first one. The second one, I think Voldemort is placed more as a sense in Harry's head, whereas in the first one I did with Mike Newell directing, there was that fantastic scene of his rebirth in the graveyard, which I enjoyed doing. I've enjoyed making the movies, but I was never an avid reader of the books. It just wasn't something I went towards. When I went to the premiere of the first one I did, I got a real sense of the extraordinary nature of it all.
Quote: Capone: Were there small children in the audience screaming at the site of you?
RF: Yes! The volume of people and the noise and excitement; it was a huge phenomenon, the whole thing is definitely. And I actually think that the David Yates-directed one, the last one, was particularly good. I liked the style of it; it was grown up. and had an edge to it, the way it was shot and lit. It's a franchise that could so easily have not developed, but I think just filmicly it has been developed, and the producers have been very smart to keep it alive and present and edgy.
You can read the rest of the interview over HERE. But WARNING: The interview contains adult language! Half-Blood Prince releases on November 21st 2008. Deathly Hallows begins shooting this time next year.
Thanks to TLC for the tip!  | |

Oh you people calm down. He's coming back for Hallows. No one has signed up to do the final film except for the trio I believe (because it was apart of their contracts).

Dear Mike,
I can not believe you aren't filming Voldemort in Half Blood Prince. That's like serving a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich without jelly! That's like going to a Hannah Montana concert and only seeing Miley Cyrus! It just doesn't work! I will let it slide this time, Mr. Newell, but don't ever let this happen again. Thank you.
With all due respect,
Margaret

What I remember is that they thought about either re-casting the role at that time or not putting Sirius (Gary) at all. But for Ralph I really hope that he will be back at the time they do the casting thingy.

As far as I remember, there's no Voldemort in HBP, but he's basic in DH, so let's hope Ralf is available for those scenes.

A Harry Potter movie without Ralph Fiennes just doesn't seem complete, somehow. (Though I do understand that a much younger Voldemort is needed for HBP). I hope and trust that Ralph will be returning for Deathly Hallows.

Yeah, I had to think for a few minutes but I do remember Voldemort was NEVER SHOWN in the books. Refered to, yes. Seen? No.
But I really do hope he plays Voldemort in D.H. He was amazing the first two times - I can't imagine anyone else being as good at being evil and just Voldemort in general as he is!

Mike Newell directed Goblet of Fire. That was it. Quote:

Well said.
