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.

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.

That is so cool. It must really be hard for Ralph to portray a character that mean and heartless. It definately must be extremely hard for Mary to keep the secrets of the Harry Potter books from her husband since she lives with him. I would not b able to keep a secret that big.

I can't wait to see this movie, I will be there the first day I can go. Hopefully, there will be a midnight showing. I can't wait to see how they made the movie. It was a great book and I am really looking forward to this movie.

Ralph Fiennes bald? Hmm...I didn't really stop to think about that. Reminds me of Lex Luthor. Well can't wait to see GOF!

I can't wait. I'm dying to see how Fiennes played Voldemort. That, and I think Mary is best artist to do the HP covers!

I don't read Entertainment Weekly but it looks like Ralph Fiennes has been recognized more because of his role as Voldemort. Number 13 doesn't sound bad. About Mary GrandPre, I think she'll be a great author and an illustrator at the same time.

Nice! I can't wait for the book and for the movie. It must be realy hard to keep secrets, even from your family, but it's also great to be the few people to read the book. On Ralph Feinnes: Ohh, so that's why he was bald a few months ago. CUTE!

wow that's cool... Lord Voldemort... evil... I would be scared if my uncle was playing Lord V and I saw him bald, on set, and evil... If I was young enough I would think that he really was Lord V... how creapy would that be... thank God Lord V is not a real person... <3333

I support HPANA!

Loretta says:

Ralph certainly lives up to his last name. I think that underplaying a character sometimes says it more that if he did things literally. We'll see how things turn out,

I bet playing Voldemorte would be a neat role.
It definintly wouldn't be boring to do, playing someone completely evil.
I bet Ralph Fiennes feels the same way.

That is really neat that Ralph Fiennes will portray Lord Voldemort. Fiennes really is a good character and he seems up to the challenge of becoming the icon that is Voldemort. Reading all of these articles only makes the countdown to when we can get the book all that more exciting!Ü
