Ralph Fiennes Cast as Voldemort

All right. It's not bad enough that Snape melts my butter, now I'm going to faint at the sight of Voldemort?

And I will faint, believe me. Ralph Fiennes takes my breath away.

Now all they need to do is cast Gabriel Byrne and Christian Bale, and these films will be the most holy objects at the altar of my lustful

I hear ya (though I guess that's not surprising at this point, is it?). There were some folks over at the alanrickman community who were lamenting his supposed inability to be evil--I guess they've never seen Schindler's List or the Wuthering Heights he was in with Juliette Binoche. I have no worries at all. Though, I'm thinking the drool/faint factor may be diminished somewhat by the red-eyes-and-overly-white-skin thing. (And all I can say is that there better be a LOT more Snape in GoF than we got in PoA!)

So who would you cast Gabriel Byrne and Christian Bale as? I was commenting to a friend a few weeks ago that anyone who's anyone in the UK has been in these movies except for Judi Dench, so I've been trying to figure out who she could be. I imagine she could make an interesting Dolores Umbridge, though I'd rather see her as someone more pleasant.

I agree. I think Ralph can bring the evil and intimidating. He was incredible in Schindler's and a very dark Heathcliff in Wuthering. I'm confident he can be a great Voldemort. There's something very intense about him. Even in The English Patient (siiiiigh), I think you can see a bit of the darkness in him. And I hate to say it, but I doubt the red eyes/white skin thing will stop me from drooling, such is the extent of my obsession. Hee.

It occurs to me that I need a Ralph Fiennes icon.

I'm not sure who I would cast Gabriel Byrne or Christian Bale as. GB would have made a great Lupin, now that Em has pointed it out. I'll have to think about this...

You know who would have made a great James Potter, though? Daniel Day-Lewis.

Gabriel Byrne and Christian Bale

So I'm guessing there's a lot of drool involved when you watch Litte Women? ;)

Wait.... you mean it's possible to watch Little Women without drooling???!

[mcsister]

Hee. Well, I've heard rumors, but it's never happened at my house. ;)

*Phew* Ok, wouldn't want to be the odd one out :)

BTW, I love your icon. And your Hugh Laurie icon is awesome, too!
