[SNIP] Rowan Atkinson will indeed be playing Voldemort.  I hope this 
is not the case.  

Well, bowl me over and call me Susan! (sorry... Blackadder flashback 
just then). I would've thought that Rowan Atkinson would be better 
suited to be Mad Eye Moody but, if wipe the last 12 or so years of 
his acting career from your brain, and watch him as the decidedly 
nasty Lord Edmund Blackadder, it could work. Seriously though, IMO, 
his plastic features (AKA rubber face) and method of over 
exaggerated acting work fine in comedic characters such as Mr Bean 
however, the point of Voldemort in GOF is not to be a nasty hammy 
villain but a blood chilling apparition - hopefully he and the 
director will not overlook this.
