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.

I don't if I could keep a secret like that. It would be too tempting to let something slip, then ask someone to go the bookies & place a large bet.
I guess that's why I don't work for anyone connected with HP!

I think that Ralph will be an excellent Voldemort, he has that kind of harsh twisted face that is needed. He is a great actor, and quite good looking- not that i want to like Voldemort??!!

Kickin. I saw this last night, but I had no time to reply. I get EW every week so its nice to see them giving shout outs to the Potterdom. I'm not sure I even got my magazine this week, though, so this is very conveiniant.

I'm so excited. Ralph Fiennes is probably the best living actor and I'm so excited about his upcoming portrayal of Voldemort. Congrats and a big "Cougar Kudos" to him on making number thirteen. Also Kudos to Mary Grandpré. That's the hardest secret to keep and it's something I would never be able to do. My husband/wife(I'm a guy), would have to know. I would tell them because I trust them knowing how secret it would be. Hahahaha!

He seems perfect for the role of Voldemort, has a certain look about him that just catches your eye.

Tease, tease, tease! That's all they do! I've said it before and I'll say it again, The Goblet of Fire is my favorite book in the series and I can't seem to wait for the movie (but I'm not about to get arrested for it, like the two who stole copies of the 6th book). Ralph Fiennes makes the movie seem a lot better than the previous ones.

I can't wait to see his portrayal of LV in GOF. What he said about not being able to underplay Voldermort is right on. You can tell he got the part very well and will do a wonderful job in the role!! Come on November!!!

Wow! If i was married - I couldn't keep a secret that big from my hubby - specially if he was a fan! I greatly admire Ralph - I could never play such an evil character! He's so evil that even though hes a fictional character, its still creepy to say his name - well for me any how!

I'm interested to see how they will make him look like Voldemort, because, honestly, I'm not seeing it right now. I mean, he looks like he could look pretty sinister, but Voldemort is supposed to look like a cross between a skeleton and a snake and I'm just wondering how they are going to pull that off...
