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'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...

I am so glad that Ralph Fiennes is playing Voldemort! He is a fantastic actor; I've never seen him in a movie where I didn't think he did a great job. One of the things I was most leery about with the next movie was how they were going to cast LV. It could easily become a very cheesy or disappointing performance. Now my fears are put to rest. I am so looking forward to seeing the next movie!

Ralph Fiennes should be great! Yes, he's handsome, but so is Gary Oldman, and they made him look rather un-attractive in PoA...

Wow, and to think all that she knows....Oh I am excited. And I think the bit about the baldness is rather funny. I think it could be hard to play something that evil, because most people aren't. Nasty would be easier because we all have 'nasty' parts of our makeup. But true evil?

How awesome to think that Voldemort's character must be underplayed...he is evil incarnate and how do you "underplay" that? Ralph Fiennes' comments made me smile because I know what a master actor he is so there must be something to it! We'll just have to wait until November to find out.

About Mary GrandPré's husband, I cannot imagine being a fan, my spouse having the book and I cannot read it. That would be sooo cruel and inhumane. Goodness!

I hope he cn be a good Voldy otherwise some people might be a little angry. And it's got to be hard for Mary to keep a secret that big.

So lucky that I get Entertainment Weekly and have read this. I am looking forward to the book review for HBP, although if they say anything negative I shall probably shred the magazine to pieces.

It's great that they both made the list. I'm a little surprized that Jo didn't make it. Considering that this book is probably going to be one of the best selling. It seems like noone can wait for it to come out. It would be fun to have a job like Mary where you get to be one of the first to read the books. I'm a little jealous! It would be hard to keep secrets from my husband though. I also can't wait to see Goblet of Fire.

Sounds cool! I really want to see what Voldemort will look like. I hope they don't mess it up, like it seems they may be doing with the rest of the movie...

Hoiw hard must it be for the artist not to share details of the books? What a lucky b***h, getting to read the books, haha.

Congrats to both for making the list. I think though that Ralph is way to sexy to be the dark lord. I just can't imagine them making him look that ugly and discusting, especially with his beautiful blue eyes.

This is nice to hear. Mary is really good at her job isn't she. I wouldn't be able to keep secrets like that for a day. I just couldn't help but tell someone. It would definately be too much for me. I siloute(SP?) you Mary. Ralph Fiennes will good job in the role of Voldemort. I know he will. So make us proud. Can't wait any longer,it's starting to get a little fustrating to me. Hurry up, this is taking much too long. I can't take it any longer. I just can't wait.
