Looks like Ralph Fiennes might be playing "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" in the next three HP movies. It's still not final yet. I got this report from Mugglenet. I don't know if anyone had posted this yet, but I thought that I would pass it on. I'd been hearing rumors about it for a while, but usually if info is on Mugglenet, it's legit. So, now I believe that he is actually in negotiations with WB.

Pictures' "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," the fourth film adaptation of J.K. Rowling's popular Harry Potter novel series.

New additions to the young cast include Robert Pattinson ("The Ring") as Cedric Diggory; Stanislav Ianevski as Quidditch star Viktor Krum; Clemence Poesy ("Bienvenue chez les Rozes," "Petite Soeur") as Fleur Delacour; and Katie Leung as Cho Chang.

Daniel Racliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and Tom Felton once again reprise the roles of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and their archrival Draco Malfoy, respectively. In the roles of fellow Hogwarts students are Matthew Lewis as Neville; Devon Murray as Seamus; Jamie Waylett as Crabbe; Joshua Herdman as Goyle; Alfie Enoch as Dean; Oliver and James Phelps as Fred and George Weasley; and Chris Rankin as Percy.

Yay, hope he does a good job. :nod:

Ralph Fiennes?

I thought he should have been Remus. Oh well.

No....I can totally see him being evil....My only major concern is that he's quite good looking. They are going to have to ugly him up.

I love Ralph Fiennes! I think that he is going to be great as Voldemort!!

Blue

I don't see why they have to have an ugly Lupin, and a hot Voldemort. Its kind of grossing me out that I'd be attracted to a sixty year old corpse.

RIGHT???? In my mind, Lupin is sexy in a bookish way....*sigh* I love him.

I wholeheartedly agree. I :heart: Lupin!! And I'm suspecting that they'll "uglify" Ralph Fiennes for the part of Voldy.

Blue

He's tall and slim......just right for the Dark Lord.

As my siggy tag indicates...I :wub: Lupin...but WOW I may have to ad an I :wub: Voldy with my boy Ralph being cast to play him, cuz WOW I cant wait to see how he looks and I agree darcy he is VERY good looking. I LUV the English Patient..great movie.

*sigh* I'm soooo torn.....why couldn't they have gotten someone ugly to play Voldemort?

well then it would have been easy for us...you know the universe couldnt POSSIBLY do something like THAT!! I am , however, really anxious to see exactly HOW they Voldi-fy him, ya know? Cyz I mean I know they can work miricles with makeup and the right camera angles and all but that is one HOT dude and if they want to *uglify* him, they certainly have their work cut out for them!
Guess I will make an I :wub: Voldy button when I get home from work today , we can share it Darcy! LOL

WOO-HOO!

He's gonna be a great Voldie!
