I have never heard of either of them but they both look good. They will be perfect once they are in hair and makeup.

It is great that the have found the person that will play the Evil Lord Voldemort. He does not look evil enough in the picture but once the get all the make up on him he will likely look alot more like a really evil dark lord.
I don't know if they have anounced it yet or no but does anyone know who will play Ludo Bagman and Bartemius Crouch, Jr.
