Let the rumors continue. In yet another article that will surely have fans talking, the Daily Mail from the UK is reporting
that Ralph Fiennes is in talks to play Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire which is currently filming.
This of course follows previous reports that Rowan Atkinson and John Malkovich had also been in negotiations for the role, both of which have been denied by the powers that be.
Please note that this is a rumor and I'm sure won't be the last, and as with all rumors has to be confirmed by Warner Bros. We will update if we hear anything.

Ralph Fiennes? I haven't heard of him as I don't watch films with people like JLo in them. I might as well just fall asleep. Its another rumour, so there really isn't much to say about that. Hopefully the guy that would play Voldemort will portray him in body and in personality.

I agree with ladywillow. I saw him Ralph Fiennes in Red Dragon and I think he would make a great Voldemort. And as for some who say he looks too nice, you have to remember that what an actor is like in real life and what he does when he's acting are totally separate. He can still look like a nice person and play an evil villain!

I do hope they cast someone soon for Voldy, since he is incredibly important to GoF and all! I also wonder what GoF will be rated, given the whole cemetary scene? Just a point to throw out there.

I don't even know who the guy is, but I'm glad they found someone. I just hope he can be evil enough for the part, since Voldemort's the most feared guy in the Wizarding world.

Ralph Fiennes would make an excellent Voldemort. He is a wonderful actor and would bring a real evilness to the part. In the past he has played some scary parts . . . and he is very good at them!

Ralph Fiennes would make an excellent Voldermort. He is an actor with a wide range and can play many parts well. As for John Malkovich being Voldemort, it is my understanding that all of the parts (with the exception of those of Karkarov, Krum, etc,in GoF) were being cast with British actors.

Well, I am just going to say it. This is just a rumor, and we have seen SO many different names for Voldemort. I doubt that he has the part.

Hmm, interesting decision. I would never have thought of him, but I can picture him as Voldemort now that I think of it. He's a great actor, no doubt he'll pull it off.

At least he is a good actor and he's british...so, it's plausible that he could be cast. I'm still pulling for Gabriel Byrne, myself...but Fiennes would be fine.
--Cheers!

I'll take him. He can look sinister if he wants to, so all they need is a bucket of white makeup and red contacts. =)

Intersting rumor... I think I could see him playing voldie. He was a pretty good bad guy in Red Dragon. *laughs* I dont think I could see Mr Bean playing voldie, ever...

I like Ralph Fiennes but think John Malkovich is a better evil guy. Either one really would make a great Voldemort. This should be intresting!

I'm just waiting tell the rumors are confirmed. Then of course the rest of the cast will say it was great working with that person, all thought I'm sure that half the time it's a lie.

Yeah, it could work. It must be hard casting characters that people have a vision of what that person is going to look like and they turn out totally different.

Well not to be rude to Ralph Fiennes....but I REALLY hope he doesn*t get the part of Voldemort. I mean he just doesn*t look EVIL enough. The person they need to get, is someone who actually looks like they COULD be evil. Ralph just looks like he could of played the part of Lockhart...I just hope they find someone who really fits the part. And if this really is the guy..I hope he does a good job...
