Following his portrayal of Voldemort across five movies from 2005 to 2011, Ralph Fiennes Is certain to offer some invaluable guidance for anyone taking on the role of the 'Dark Lord' in the forthcoming production. Harry Potter TV adaptation .

Straight from the triumph of Conclave, this three-time Academy Award nominee is earning significant acclaim for his role. most recent movie "28 Years Later" .

However, it was his prior role as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named in the movie adaptations that stood out. JK Rowling 'S book series that is garnering special notice.
