The reasons I suggested Jeremy Irons as Voldemort, are: other than 
Alan Rickman, Jeremy is one of the few actors who never has to raise 
his voice to convey his true menace. 

I also thought it would be kind of interesting to reunite the 
brothers from Die Hard and Die Hard with a Vengeance, despite the 
fact they were not in the same film. 

He also resembles the actor (Christian Coulson) who played Tom Riddle 
in CoS better. Ralph Fiennes is a fine actor and should be able to 
pull off a wicked Voldemort, but I could just see all the body 
twitches perfectly from JIrons and have visualized him since 
Voldemort appeared before my eyes in the books.

I also think Finola Hughes (General Hospital/All My Children Anna 
Devane) and Aiden Turner (All My Children Aidan Devane) would be nice 
additions. Finola could possibly be Bellatrix and Aiden could be 
super hot guy ...oh wait, sorry...Aiden could be a future DADA 
professor (sign me up!)
