Well one thing about the movies is that you can't go buy the books all of the time. You can't get it perfect. Not even LOTR was perfect. They left allot of things out they could have kept in.

Carol responds:

That's an interesting point. Book!Voldemort's voice is described not
only as cold but as high-pitched (for a man's), and his laughter is
also high-pitched, as if, along with the humanity he's lost with each
soul bit placed in a Horcrux, he's lost some manliness, too, in the
best sense of that unfashionable word, which has nothing to do with
being "macho" (or ruthless or even powerful). (Certainly, he'll
never
be a father, which, I think, lowers him on the scale of manliness in
JKR's eyes, the best men in her books being the best fathers or father
figures).

Who (which British actor) could capture that coldness, not only in
personality but in voice, and produce a high-pitched, scary, laugh
that curdles the blood without sounding like Helena Bonham Carter's
Bellatrix Lestrange or Margaret Hamilton in "The Wizard of Oz"?

Thoughts, anyone?

Carol, who thinks that the least scary thing about Fiennes's Voldemort
is the way he holds his wand as if his fingers won't bend around it
