It's been 14 years since the adventures of Harry Potter and his friends concluded. If Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson all have fond memories, the same goes for Ralph Fiennes except for one detail. The interpreter of Voldemort faced a difficulty during the filming of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 which he did not hesitate to tell us.
The casting of Voldemort for the HBO series of Harry Potter is talked about
Harry Potter is one of the most popular sagas among fans. It is easily placed at the same level as Star Wars et Lord of the Rings in terms of cultural impact. Naturally, the license can only live through time and this is what will happen this year with the HBO series. The production of the latter is not helped by the controversial comments of JK Rowling, the author of the literary saga, which greatly annoy fans and the LGBTQIA+ community. The latter therefore prefer to speculate on the casting of the series, and in particular that of Voldemort.
“He-Who-We-Must-Not” pronounce the name is an essential character in the license, which means that the actor who will have to interpret him will have to be up to it, particularly Ralph Fiennes. Even if some fans decried his performance in the saga, the actor's interpretation is generally very appreciated. To replace it, fans want an actor of the same caliber and thought of the famous Thomas Shelby from Peaky BlindersCillian Murphy. This is only in the dream stage, the reality being that Ralph Fiennes is still the last interpreter of Voldemort and that he still has anecdotes, even the most embarrassing ones.
An embarrassing shoot for Ralph Fiennes
During the promotion of his latest film ConclaveRalph Fiennes answered many questions about Harry Potter. At the microphone of People he notably spoke about the filming of the last episode of the saga, evoking a very “pain in the ass” embarrassment according to his words. The actor who played the role of the main antagonist in 5 of the 8 films revealed that he had a problem with his wardrobe. In fact, the gusset of the tights he wore under his dresses kept going down to his knees, which was very uncomfortable, especially since it was almost impossible to pull them up.
I had to wear tights under the dresses. They hung low, so the gusset of the tights was around my knees, and it was something to have to pull them up under those dresses, you could say it was a pain in the ass.
To solve this problem, the actor cut off her tights and held them up with a garter. Despite this embarrassment and this strange paraphernalia, the actor preferred to laugh about it regularly showing off her “magnificent legs” to team members. Ralph Fiennes turned what could have been annoying into a funny event that perfectly concluded his adventure in the world ofHarry Potter.
Filming is often a source of various hazards, as Ralph Fiennes can attest to. Let's hope that the next interpreter of Voldemort does not experience the same difficulties!
