I reply: 
You are right, I was not thinking clearly when I posted this morning 
(you'd think I'd never read the books based on how far-off my guess 
was!)guessing Voldy's age. So he could be a powerful old guy, or the 
filmmakers might throw in a twist and make him younger, but as you 
said, virtually unrecognizable so you can't really tell his age.

I reply:
Thanks for the suggestions, I will check them out! Unfortunately my 
local videostore is pretty pathetic, and sorely lacking in BBC 
productions. Yet another reason I need to get satellite - so I can 
watch BBC America.
