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 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.

I'm mildly surprised at their choice of voldemort. But I guess Ralph is scaryer with makeup on. I will never be a book illustrator. I can't keep secrets from family and friends (unless it is about someone else of course. But something else is hard to keep a secret about, especially if the whole of europe and america are waiting for it to be revealed)

He must be an incredible actor to pull off such a terrible character and make us hate him! Of course not him as a person but the character that he will portray!

I can't wait to see Ralph Finnes as Voldemort - after seeing him in Red Dragon and Schindler's List he can really play a good bad guy - I can only imagine what he'll be able to do as Voldemort.

Hoestly, I cannot see him as Voldemort. But we'll see how it turns out. I guess that cliche thing is right, "you cant judge a book by its cover" He might be good. I'll just be patient and find out in November.

He is such an amazing villain. I still remember his character in Schindler's List. I can't wait, the film is going to be fabulous, especially with all the talent they have working on this movie.

I've never even heard of Ralph Fiennes. Does anyone know of any other movies he's been in? He seems like a good actor though.

Boy, I can't wait to see his portrayal of Voldemort. I've seen his movies and they are great. I want to see pure evil. I've seen him play an evil person before, but I want to say this guy is evil.

So far, Darth Sidious/Palpatine of Star Wars goes down as the most evil guy on screen in my books. If you watch Episode III, you will see what I mean. Man he is evil.

I know for a fact that Ralph Fiennes is a great actor. It is kind of funny that he scared his own relatives with the costume! Just another thing that makes me want to see GoF!
