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.

Ralph is hott...It would be HILARIOUS if this fact drove some teen girls stark-raving mad over his beauty and drooling on his front door step

I'm really excited to see Ralh Finnes as Lord Voldemort. As soon as I head who would be playing him, it was just perfect. If anyone can pull off someone as evil as LV, it's Ralph.

Congradulations Ralph and Mary! It must be hard for Mary to keep that secret from her husband! I'm shore Ralp Fiennes is going to do an excellent protrayal of Voldemort. I can't wait to see him as Voldemort. Hopefully movie 4 will be better than the 3rd one was! I can't wait for November 18.

While Ralph F. is a great actor, I can't really see him as Voldemort. They must have really put the makeup on heavy to take away his cuteness.

I'm so excited. Ralph Fiennes is probably the best living actor and I'm so excited about his upcoming portrayal of Voldemort. Congrats and a big "Cougar Kudos" to him on making number thirteen.

Also Kudos to Mary Grandpré. That's the hardest secret to keep and it's something I would never be able to do. My husband/wife(I'm a guy), would have to know. I would tell them because I trust them knowing how secret it would be. Hahahaha!

That must be cool, getting to read the books before they come out, but it must also be an absolute killer not being able to divulge the info to anyone.
Also, I can see that playing Voldie musst be awfully hard, he's got so much expectation to live up to, and his character is hardly human to start with so how you can play him I don't know. That article on him was a bit crap though!

How funny that Ralph Fiennes is listed as lucky number 13. I hope that his kids were not too scared of their dad. I can't wait to see how he plays the part. He seems so nice looking.

Ralph Fiennes will be excellent as Voldemort...he gave me the chills as an unforgiving Nazi officer in Schindler's List and he was freaking in Hannibal. I just know that I would be scared to look at him in GoF...even if he is delicious eye-candy to look at!

And Congrats to Mary GrandPre'. I'm jealous that she gets an inside look at the plot but I like how she offers me a visual into the characters before each chapter.

I think Ralph will make a great Voldemort, although I would love to see a glimpse of him as Vodemort now, but they are keeping that top secret. Congratulations to him and Mary Grandpre, this is great news!`

that is cool that they are respecting Harry Potter in Entertainment magazines, though!

Ralph Fiennes would be a must see for me whether he was playing Voldemort or not. He's a great actor. 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).

He looks like he is going to do the part justice...I'm interested to see how this movie is going to be interpreted and what things they keep and what they cut. I just hope that Ralph can portray the evilness the way we all have come to know it.
