Ralph Fiennes shares hilarious fashion advice for whoever plays Voldemort in Harry Potter TV series
Actor and film producer Ralph Fiennes shared fashion advice for whoever plays Voldemort in the Harry Potter TV series Actor and film producer Ralph Fiennes shared fashion advice for whoever plays Voldemort in the Harry Potter TV series, reported People. "Make sure you can handle the long, flowing robes, and don't trip over them," Fiennes advised during an interview, adding, "Practice your long, flowing robe walk." Fiennes also shared a fun fact about a part of his Voldemort garb he had changed throughout the film series. The actor, fresh off an Academy Awards campaign for Conclave and next starring in '28 Years Later', said he had some notes for the wardrobe department regarding his tights, as per the outlet. Fiennes played Voldemort for five Harry Potter films, making his debut in 2005's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The actor went on to play the villain for the remainder of the film series, which ended in 2011 with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2. He also returned alongside many of his fellow cast members, including Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), for a TV special in 2002 marking the 20th anniversary of the Harry Potter movies, reported People. Fiennes has said he would "of course" reprise his role as Voldemort if asked, but more recently gave his approval for Cillian Murphy taking over the part, calling him a "wonderful suggestion," as per the outlet. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pedí hoy tu kit de alarmas Verisure con 30% OFF, ¡solo por esta semana!

Ralph Fiennes warns new Voldemort in Harry Potter TV series of danger
After playing the role of Voldemort for five films between 2005 and 2011, Ralph Fiennes is bound to have some valuable advice for whoever plays the 'Dark Lord' in the upcoming Harry Potter TV adaptation. Fresh off of the success of Conclave, the three-time Oscar-nominated actor is receiving high praise for his latest film 28 Years Later. But it is his previous turn as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named in the film adaptations of JK Rowling's book series that is drawing particular attention. So far, HBO's TV reboot of Harry Potter has confirmed some of the biggest names in Hollywood – including the likes of John Lithgow, Paapa Essiedu, Janet McTeer, and Nick Frost. Meanwhile, newcomers Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout will be playing Harry, Hermione, and Ron, respectively. But while the role of Voldemort has not yet been cast, Fiennes still has some words of wisdom for whoever chooses to play him. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the 62-year-old said: 'Make sure you can handle the long, flowing robes, and don't trip over them. Practice your long, flowing robe walk.' Fiennes went on to explain how his tights, which were one piece that had a gusset, 'kept getting lower and lower throughout the shooting day and became uncomfortable'. He then said he requested 'individual tights like a garter belt' so that he could tease the stunt guys 'by lifting up my robes and showing them my garter belt'. Our TV reporter Milo Pope shares his thoughts on some of the names rumoured for the part of Voldemort… It has now been two years since HBO announced it was rebooting Harry Potter in the form of a TV series, but the wave of public opinion against it in the wake of JK Rowling's offensive comments on trans people has not weakened in the slightest. The decision is clear for any actor who decides to take part – you are going to receive backlash. Even the most loyal Harry Potter fans in the world are revealing that they are going to boycott this series. It's inescapabale. For that reason alone, to take such a high-profile role such as Voldemort, it is a poisoned chalice. But beyond that, to try and fill the shoes of Ralph Fiennes who was iconic as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, it becomes an even more difficult task. If HBO manage to land two high-calibre actors such as Cillian Murphy or Tom Hiddleston, it could massively help the PR behind the show. But in my mind, I'm not sure either of those are willing to risk their name. Fiennes played Voldemort for five Harry Potter films, making his debut in 2005's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The actor went on to play the villain for the rest of the film series, which ended in 2011 with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. Fiennes was previously asked to address speculation over whether Cillian Murphy would take over the role during an interview on Watch What Happens Live. He said: 'Cillian is a fantastic actor. That's a wonderful suggestion. I would be all in favor of Cillian. Yeah.' More Trending Despite his blessing, British actor Tom Hiddleston is said to be the leading contender for the spot. This comes after fans recently spotted a major problem following the casting of Bel Powley and Daniel Rigby who are playing Harry's aunt and uncle, Petunia and Vernon Dursley. A number of people online thought that the pair were too young to play the Harry's last living relatives. Got a story?

‘Harry Potter' star Stanislav Yanevski hospitalized, undergoes emergency surgery after losing ability to breathe
'Harry Potter' star Stanislav Yanevski revealed Friday that he was rushed to the hospital when he lost the ability to breathe following his 40th birthday. Yanevski, who starred as the powerful Viktor Krum in 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,' underwent emergency surgery soon after he celebrated his major milestone, but is now on the road to recovery. 'I was taken into surgery and the photo was taken right after I had come out of the surgical room,' Yanevski said in an Instagram post alongside an image of him in a hospital bed with a bandage wrapping around his nose. 3 'Harry Potter' star Stanislav Yanevski went to the hospital after losing his ability to breathe. Instagram/stan_yanevski The Bulgarian-born actor did not publicly specify what he was diagnosed with. 'As always and those who know me closer, I went through this in silence as I didn't want to scare or worry anybody,' Yanevski added. 'I've always been this way. I fight through struggles in quiet. Of course I had support from the few I had told and my family for which I'm very thankful.' Yanevski assured his fans that he is 'recovering' and his doctors are 'surprised' by his progress. 'I will be able to breathe freely, experience all scents of life, which was something I had lost over the past months,' Yanevski shared. 'I will be able to sleep without struggles, recover properly with peaceful sleep and be at my full powers very soon.' But the fitness buff admitted that it might take a while to speak professionally on camera. 'I still have a few pieces planted in my nose, so I'm not able to talk freely, so please have some patience with Cameo – I stopped it, so I'm not available for bookings until I can talk properly again.' 3 Yanevski is known for playing Viktor Krum in 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.' Murray Close 3 Yanevski turned 40 before he was rushed to the hospital. Getty Images Yanevski portrayed the love interest of Hermione Granger — played by Emma Watson — in the fourth installment in the film series based on J. K. Rowling's books. He seemingly lives a very active lifestyle and often posts about his workouts on his Instagram page. Yanevski believed the habits he formed would help his recovery efforts. 'I had a checkup with my doctor today and he said that I'm recovering really well and was actually quite surprised with my progress. I guess all the healthy diets, training and self control and belief help in such cases,' Yanevski wrote. Yanevski's role in the 2005 'Harry Potter' film was his first gig as an actor. His last acting credit came in 2021 for the action thriller 'Last Man Down.' He was scheduled to make a two-day appearance at Swiss Comic Con on May 30 and 31. Last month, actor Nick Moran, who portrayed Scabior in 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I' and Part 2, was hospitalized after suffering from 'life-threatening' spinal cord injury. Moran has since returned home and was 'on his way to a full recovery.'

Krum is a famous Quidditch player from Bulgaria and the Seeker for the Bulgarian national team. He's introduced during the Quidditch World Cup and later reappears as one of the champions selected by the Goblet of Fire to compete in the Triwizard Tournament, representing Durmstrang Institute. Though a man of few words in the film, Krum plays a notable role as Hermione Granger's unexpected date to the Yule Ball, sparking jealousy from Ron Weasley. Despite limited dialogue, Yanevski made a memorable impression due to Krum's mysterious, brooding demeanor and his sudden affection for Hermione. Something fans may not realize is that Yanevski was cast with almost no acting experience and was reportedly discovered during a casting session held at his school in London.
