In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort in the Harry Potter films) discusses
his wish to return for the last movie and how he prepares to play a baddie.
That’s actually the hardest to do because you have to personify evil, and there’s such a history of clichés and villains and monsters. You’ve got to struggle not to play all the obvious notes. And with such extreme makeup, such an extreme look - that’s the challenge. Also, the style of the movies is so strong. The movie itself is its own machine, and you’ve got to fulfill a function of a bigger machine. It would be good to keep the sense of some kind of real psychology going on, even in all the special effects and everything. I’m not officially contracted to the last ones, but I think that’s in the cards. I want to do it. It’s just that they haven’t got a script yet, so the deal side of it isn't in place. But the indications are that it'll happen.
On a related note you can now view some out-takes from the Half-Blood Prince Entertainment Weekly photo shoot.

Sounds good. Hard to imagine if he did not or could not do the last films. That would be really awful. Hopefully we will have confirmation soon.

I can't see anyone else play Voldemort like he has. He captures him beyond words.
And I dont' really like the promo shoots...is that bad? I love the fact that they have Draco in them, but what's up with Harry's haircut. It kinda throws me off.

I really hope he does come back for the last film. It would be kind of hard to see someone else take his place as Voldemort. Those photos were great! It must have been hard to have a face-off for that photo.

Voldemort is starting to get a bit older. I hope that won't whow through his scaly skin. Still a very good looking gentleman though.
I like the picture of Harry and Draco in profile face to face. Too bad they chopped off all the hair for the movie, Harry is supposed to have a 'Hairy' head of hair. Oh, well.
Blessings! Hecate3fold!

Nice photoshoot, don't think i've seen the 2 of them together before.. The last movie without Ralph Fiennes would be a failure before even start filming..

Nice photo's! Cute!
I hope he can play Voldemort in DH because he's really good! He seems to capture Voldemort's essence of evil extremely well which is always good. So I hope he can do it because it would be so stupid if he played voldemort since GoF and then they get someone new. It would really ruin the movies and the "flow" that they try to capture.
But however, good pictures though I'm not sure why Daniel got his haircut again for HBP. It seems like they're trying to say that every summer Harry gets his hair cut but I'm glad he's gone back to getting old clothes from Dudley since after CoS they forgot all about his clothes that are too big for him.
Harry can buy his own clothes now xD

Thats cool. Voldemort is a very complex character and I like that Finnes is taking such a serious apporach to figure out how to play him. I like how he did it in the last two films, and I hope that he will continue to do such a great job for the next two films.

Awesomeness! I like the pictures of Dan and Tom glaring at each other. I can't wait to see Ralph in the other movies, he is the perfect guy for the part. It would be wierd seeing anyone else playing old Voldie.

I find that in some movies the "villain" really stands out, and Harry Potter is one of those movies. After I saw him for the first time I could remember everything about him, from the way he looks to the way he walks and talks. He really does an amazing good.

He is the perfect Voldemort. I cannot see anyone else doing this anywhere near as well. I am sure he will be brought back. Warner Brothers is not that foolish.
