This week's issue of Entertainment Weekly features The 122 People & Things we Love This Summer - The Must List. Included on the list at number 13 is Ralph Fiennes, who will be portraying Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in November and Harry Potter illustrator Mary GrandPré, at number 69. The magazine also has a small tidbitopens in new window on the selling of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Ralph on Lord Voldemort:

Immoral Fixation: So how does one play the incarnation of evil? "Good question," says Fiennes, laughing. "My inclination was to underplay it, but you can't underplay Voldemort. He is evil. What I wanted was a you-never-know-what-he'll-do-next quality. My nephews and nieces visited the set-- they were quite taken aback. Probably because I was bald."

Scans of Ralph's article are hereopens in new window and hereopens in new window.

Mary GrandPré must haveopens in new window:

Not Tonight, Honey, I Have a Confidentiality Agreement: "[My husband] leaves me alone. He knows I could get into big trouble if I shared secrets.... He's a fan, though. He reads them after they come out."

The current issue of the magazine is on sale now. Thanks to Page for the tip and the scans.

He looks like he is going to do the part justice...I'm interested to see how this movie is going to be interpreted and what things they keep and what they cut. I just hope that Ralph can portray the evilness the way we all have come to know it.

It must be really hard for her to keep stuff from her husband.
I wonder how they chose him to be you-know-who.

That's cool that Ralph and Mary got on the "The Must List". It sounds like it's hard for Mary to keep the book info from her husband. And I hope Ralph looks and acts like Lord Voldemort in the book, otherwise it wouldn't be right.

I was really wondering who was going to play Voldermort. I dont know if I like him yet. He'll probably have to grow on me like Gary oldman did. Cant wait for the movie, I heard they are playing up the H/HR thing... I dont know.

So Ralph is good at playing bad guys. Voltemort must be right up his alley.

That bit about the artist Mary GrandPré was really inflated. I get the American books and I just barely like most of her work.

JKR has made the books what they are, not Mary GrandPré. She only does the American books anyway, not all over the world.

Bald? Well, I guess he's supposed to be snake like and infantile like. Man, I can't wait to see what he's going to look like. I have an image in my head... but it was never a bald image.

Way to go, Ralph Fiennes for making #13! He's going to do such a great portrayel of Voldemort. It would be of fun to learn more about this actor and his role. He gets to play quite the villian.

Haha I saw Fiennes as a cold blooded killer in Schindler's List, and now we ask him to play a heartless cold blooded killer, wow what a stretch ! I know this man wil play Voldemort's role to perfection, not a doubt in my mind.

I think they're going to make a great job with Voldemort. Ralph Fiennes is a little bit scary. If I were Mary GrandPré's husband I would ask her every detail of the book.
