Ralph Fiennes Talks Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire
Some movie franchises go for big NAME superstars... others, like the Harry Potter series, go for big time TALENT. The addition of Ralph Fiennes to the cast was just the latest brilliant move (as a side note, I'm not really all that thrilled with the Harry Potter franchise up to this point... I found the movies are "ok" to "pretty good" at best... but the performances by the cast has always been solid.
Now, with the release of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire looming closer and closer, Ralph Fines spoke with CBS News about his role in the newest Potter film. WARNING... THIS COULD BE CONSIDERED A SPOILER BY SOME... SO READ WITH CAUTION:
"I've done with the Harry Potter, it's just one big scene at the end of the movie, Lord Voldemort appears for the first time, in something of a kin to human form, I can't give too much away but I had a great time filming it. I'm very, very mean to Harry Potter, very mean.."If you want to know just how good this guy is at portraying EVIL, you should really runout and rent the third Hannibal Lecter movie "Red Dragon". Oh man... Fiennes almost made me soil myself in that one.

i've never seen Fiennes in action, but just from the look of that picture he looks perfect for Voldermort.

I agree that the films are good to pretty good, this is only due to the cast of characters. The entire film is built on these actors' abilities to perform in a character actor role and the choices have been wonderful, I look forward to Fiennes as The Dark Lord. I am sorry that Sean Penn and Johnny Depp are not British as they do wonderful work in these kinds of disguised roles. I do hope a place can be found for Billy Boyd....he would be a wonderful addition to any cast......think about it....please.
