He looks quite a lot like Christian Coulson, and plus hes a wicked actor. Should be good, and if its not, then woe betide him.

I think Ralph will portray a good He-who-must-not-be-named! Cool that he is nummber 13 on the list. I think Mary could find it hard to held the book a secret from here husband. But I think she will do it good!

I believe that it will be a good Voldemort, altough they should have casted me for the part; maybe I will apply for the Defence Against The Dark Arts Teacher for the sixth book. ;-) I'd play every role, as long as I am on the set with Emma aka Hermione. :D

"My inclination was to underplay it, but you can't underplay Voldemort. He is evil.
that's such a statement. He's truly a versatile actor

I think Ralph Fiennes will be great as LV. He does make a great villian. I think he may be surprised at how much more regonizable he will become now that he is part of the HP world.

Oh, yes, I saw that already! I subscribe to Entertainment Weekly, and ironically, the first page I randomly flipped to was a full-page layout of Ralph Fiennes! And he's number thirteen, entirely coincidental, but which I thought was also kind of funny. He's going to make an awesome Voldemort.

It must be a great experience having to play such a role as Lord Voldemort! I mean, just imagine it. He is just plain evil and nothing more. I am really looking forward to watching this actor, who is very good, giving it his best shot. November is getting closer!

I can't wait to see him in the movie, he is such a good actor. I think he has this calm-maniac look in his eyes and he would be perfect. i never actually imagined Voldemort because I always thought that he appeared too evil to be believable and I never spent time on the visualisation of the character. I am looking forward to watching the film and seeing if Fiennes makes the character more real to me.

Wow, of all the casting (besides Hagrid) I think He is the best choice for Voldemort! He's got the look. I know I usually don't follow the movies too closely, but this was a good call on the directors part. I am looking forward to seeing him.

It's been three days. There has got to be fresh news somewhere. I've never felt more excited for a book or a movie like I do right now. It would seem like I have nothing better to do with my life but I do. My anticipation for their coming-out appears to be my only release for what I am going through right now and it's not exactly a walk in Hogsmeade.

It's great to know that Fienne is a fan. It somehow makes him seem a bit more acceptable in being the one to play the big role. I hope he does a great job.

I'm so happy Entertainment Weekly found it in their hearts to mention 2 things that relate to Harry Potter. Sometimes I feel as though magazines and tv shy away from talking about Harry Potter. Not books though. I recently read a book by Kathy Hopkins where she mentioned a teacher from a boys' school that looked like Professor Snape. That was nice.

It's interesting to read Ralph Feinnes commenting on his Voldemort portrayal since it seems WB was keeping the whole Voldemort return under wraps for the film. Not that we don't all know what happens at the end of GoF, but it did seem, up til now, that they didn't want anyone taking away from the film's rendering of Voldemort's return by talking about it to the press. I'm sure we won't be seeing any pictures of Feinnes as Voldemort before the film is released so we'll be extra freaked out when we go to see the movie!

I'm glad that Ralph Fiennes is going to be in the movies. Originally, I had wanted him to play the part of Remus Lupin, but that went to Thewlis, so oh well, at least he's getting a part in the series. I think it will be interesting to see how Voldemort is portrayed. In my opinion, Voldemort is the most evil character that I've ever read about or seen, in books or film, and it's going to be really exciting to see him come to life. I just hope that Fiennes can live up to my standards. ;) jk.
Cheers! (only 25 more days)
