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 think HP has become a lot bigger thing than anyone could have ever dreamed, except for maybe JK herself. That's cool that they made the list. :)

I agree with Finnies, you cannot underplay LV. I hope he does the evil villian justice, even though I will always like him as a good guy in a romantic comedy.

I think he will make a great Voldemort, I can;t wait for the movie. As for Mary GrandPre, I give her a lot of credit for not even sharing secrets with her husband, that's hard.

Ralph Fiennes would be a must see for me whether he was playing Voldemort or not. That said, when they announced that he would be playing Voldemort, I thought it was a perfect selection. He's a good actor and has the capability of having "the look."

And, I'm glad EW is identifying Mary's work. The books wouldn't be the same without the artwork she provides. Her artwork has always helped me created the images I have in my head (at least prior to the movies).

It's a little like getting icing on the cake, what with the movie coming out after the book. So right now, I'm just focused on next month.

C'mon NEXT MONTH!

Wow, I like the sound of this. He'll be very good as Voldemort. I wonder if they're going to use any kind of maskish stuff, as he needs to have evil blood red eyes, and slits for nostrils, like a snakes...
