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 can't believe we have to wait until November to see GoF! I hope it will be worth the wait (I'm sure it will)

Ralph Fiennes is a great actor. I am glad that he will be playing Voldemort. It must be hard for Mary to keep all of the secrets from even her husband!

Ralph Fiennes in my opinion will do a great job of Voldemort. I can't wait to see it! And Mary does a fantastic job as well, except I don't get to see it as much, since I don't live in the US.

If there is an actor out there who can incarnate pure evil on that silver screen then it has got to be Ralph Fiennes.

I hope Newell and Warners allow him to really go for it no holds barred.

Don't underplay, be evil, do your worst! He's bald too...
Thats interesting that Mary GrandPre used her likeness for Harry in the American version of the Harry Potter books.

Hmmm, interesting...Voldemort is bald, i think that's what he was supposed to be like. I really hope the Voldemort we see is evil enough and is portrayed correctly. I would be a big disappointment if he isn't since this will be the first time we get a look and there are big expectations - he is Harry's mortal (or shall we say immortal?!!) enemy. I'm definitely looking forward to it...hurry up November!!!

I haven't seen him in any of his evil roles before, only as a good guy....but from what I hear, it sounds like he'll be great!

I'd hate to be the hubby of Mary Grand-Pre, imagine knowing she knew what happened and not being able to get your hands on the book ;) I just hope she doesn't taunt him about it... :P

Actually I don't know him before I knew he would be Lord Voldemort! (Sorry!)
I think he would be a great LV (because you people said so!)
Oh and Mary Grandpre, congrats!

Wow, that is really funny about the confidentality agreement. It must be hard to keep secrects about what will happen from your husband especally if he is a fan. Must be tough. Still I am very jealous of her! :->

Hey, can anyone tell me what other movies Ralp Fiennes has been in. He looks sooooo familiar, I just don't know where I have seen him before. I'm sure he will do great. Can't wait for the movie. Looks like it will be the best yet.
