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 very excited that Ralph is playing Voldemort!! He is a really good actor and I think that he is going to do a wonderful job!! I'm really happy that he is excited to be playing him!! (Or at least he sounds excited!!)

I respect what Mary said!! She does have a confidentiality agreement, so good for her for sticking to it!! (Though if she didn't she would be in LOADS of trouble!!) HAHA!!

I CANNOT WAIT to see how Voldemort looks in Goblet of Fire. I think Ralp Fiennes will do an excellent job -- he is a very talented actor. I don't think they have released pictures of the dark lord from the movie -- but they have shown pics of the Voldemort action figure...and he had PURPLE skin!!! If that is how it is in the movie, it won't exactly how I pictured it, but I'm sure it'll be great anyway!

Very cool! Ralph is going to bring Voldemort to life for us all and I know he's going to do an excellent job. He's a terrific actor and I can't think of anyone who could do LV better.

I love Ralph Fiennes, I was alittle nervous when he was first named to play, well you know. But I think that he is going to do an excellent job. I mean in Red Dragon he was scary! Lets all just hope.

Wow! Mary GrandPre isn't even alowed to tell her husband? That must be rough. I don't think I'd be able to do it! I'd probably be accidently spewing things out left and right. Guess that's why she's the artist and not me! :)

Voldemort is going to be bald in GoF? Oh, that's awesome... I mean scary! And I have to say, I envy those little nephews and nieces of him. Going to the set, that's one of my dreams.

I wish I were Mary GrandPre, one of those people who already read the book! Maybe someday I'll become an illustrator, so I can read books earlier.

I wondered whether the illustrators were allowed to read the book before producing their designs or if they just drew what the were told to.

Ralph Fiennes will be perfect for the role of Voldemort. It is a amazing how well he can play a villian or a very endearing character at will.
