Hi all,
Alright, so I am terribly behind the times here... I
blame the summer vacation, I'm STILL trying to catch
up! However, I don't think anybody has suggested this
yet, so I'll go ahead.
First of all, Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort, I think is a
WONDERFUL choice. The main thing that strikes me
about him is that he shares one VERY noticeable
characteristic with the fellow who played Riddle in
Chamber, a characteristic that I think made Riddle
UNBEARABLY attractive: His eyes. They BOTH have those
incredibly intense blue eyes. Now, I know that canon
states that Voldemort's eyes are red and creepy, but I
think Ralph Fiennes' actual eyes can be creepy ENOUGH
without messing with their colour!
For those of you looking for other Ralph Fiennes
movies, try Strange Days. He's not a villain, but....
Just watch it, you'll understand.
Now, as to Umbridge, I've been saying for months that
they should give it to Judy Dench. I've never seen her
play evil per se, although she's very good at somewhat
unpleasant, POWERFUL characters, who are not
necessarily evil, but there is no doubt in my mind
that she could do it, and she would be CHILLING!!!
One other casting thought I've had floating about in
my head since the summer, although the role has
already been cast, and as usual no one asked my
opinion....
Rita Skeeter: Jennifer Saunders. Interestingly enough,
I only know her from voicing the Fairy Godmother in
Shrek 2, but I also only know Miranda Richardson (who
IS playing Rita Skeeter) from voicing Mrs. Tweedy in
Chicken run. And their voices do have similarities. Go
figure.
