Producers knew they had a gem of a book series on their hands and wanted to do everything to make the franchise brilliant. Just after three days of the release of the first film in the franchise, 'Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone', the crew started filming for the second one. Rowling and 'Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secret' is the second of the series.ĭaniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint made the characters of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ronald Weasley seem like their own true selves and that is what made the films loved all over the world. 'Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone' is the first book by J.K. Harry Potter books have been a rave since the beginning of the first book and after so many years, the books as well the films are still loved by everyone around the world. Not only is Jones quite tall, standing at 6'4', but tall, thin, and he has a ton of experience playing heavy-makeup, 'inhuman' roles.There's nothing better in the world than binge-watching Harry Potter films the whole day. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: ( (actor) would have made a far better Voldemort, and one truer to the books' Voldemort, than Fiennes did. Voldemort from the books would sooner sneer at Draco than give him an awkward hug! The 'Draco hug' also summed up pretty much everything I didn't like about Fiennes's Voldemort. Fiennes is a fantastic actor, but he just wasn't for me as Voldemort. I also agree about everything else you've said about Fiennes as Voldemort. Never mind that Rowling herself called Voldemort a ' dehumanized wizard killer'! Instead, he looked like a noseless version of Daddy Warbucks from Annie, and Yates deliberately didn't have him wear red contacts because 'he wanted to make Voldemort more humanized'. Fiennes, however, didn't have any of those physical features. Even Mary GrandPré drew Voldemort as such. Book Voldemort is supposed to be very tall, emaciated or skeletal, with long, 'spider-like' fingers, slanted red eyes, and snakelike features. My beef with Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort, is that he looks very different from the Voldemort from the books. Coulson was willing and would have enjoyed returning to the role, but Yates simply wouldn't let him. A lot of us were also disappointed when David Yates refused to let Coulson play Tom Riddle again in HBP, claiming that Coulson was 'too old', despite Shirley Henderson, the actress who played 14-year-old Moaning Myrtle, being in her late 30's/early 40's during filming. I don't blame you, lot of HP fans (including myself) thought that Coulson was brilliant in the role. I thought the actor who played Tom Riddle in the Chamber of Secrets was a good depiction of early Voldemort-confident, very handsome, with a bit of deceptive charm. What do you think? Do you agree? If you disagree, why?Įdit: I want to clarify that when I say 'likable' I really mean 'impressive' or 'effectively scary.' As in, the reaction is 'Wow, Voldemort is a badass/intimidating/very skilled despite being evil.' I had this impression in the books but not in the movies. It would have been more complex if there was something oddly appealing about Voldemort, kind of like Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds. Ralph Fiennes' Voldemort is kind of a fool, sort of a letdown for me.

But there was NOTHING likable about Voldemort in the movies. There's an argument to be made that Voldemort's character is in fact cowardly, which I do understand, but at the same time someone who managed to become one of the most powerful wizards in the world with a large following should at least have some level of panache or likability. I argued in the thread that I thought Fiennes portrayed Voldemort a little too cowardly/unlikeable. I LOVE Fiennes in other roles, but for some reason he never quite fit my personal vision of who Voldemort was, even though he does in fact fit most of Rowling's physical descriptions of him, and his acting isn't necessarily bad by any means. I personally think my least favorite HP casting choice was Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort. This question is inspired by an askreddit post I responded to where someone was saying they did not like Michael Gambon as Dumbledore.
