Fiennes Is Voldemort

Ralph Fiennes (The English Patient) has signed on to portray the wicked warlock Lord Voldemort in the upcoming fourth Harry Potter movie, The Goblet of Fire, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film will mark the first time audiences will see the evil wizard in the flesh, though he has appeared in various incarnations in the previous three films.

Filming has been under way on Goblet since June 25, mainly with star Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) and co-stars Rupert Grint (Ron) and Emma Watson (Hermione). Fiennes has not yet filmed any scenes, the trade paper reported.

Other additions to the cast include Brendan Gleeson (The Village) as Potter's new defense against the dark arts teacher, Mad-Eye Moody, and Miranda Richardson (Sleepy Hollow) as Rita Skeeter, a gossip columnist for a magical newspaper, the trade paper reported. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, directed by Mike Newell (Four Weddings and a Funeral), is scheduled for release in November 2005.
