Ralph Fiennes’ Hilarious Tips for the Next Voldemort: Robes, Tights, and More!
Currently, Ralph Fiennes is preparing to assume the part of President Snow, a significant character from “The Hunger Games” in “Sunrise on the Reaping”, previously portrayed by Donald Sutherland. Interestingly, he’s also stepping into Sutherland’s shoes for another franchise, raising questions about who will portray Voldemort in HBO’s upcoming “Harry Potter” series. With this in mind, the original actor behind Voldemort has offered some amusing yet insightful guidance to the performer who will eventually succeed him.
Currently, the primary Harry Potter trio and significant Hogwarts faculty members such as Dumbledore, portrayed by John Lithgow, have been announced. However, there’s no news regarding Voldemort yet. This is logical since we don’t encounter “He Who Must Not Be Named” in his full form until Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, so it seems likely that they haven’t cast him just yet.
Consequently, Ralph Fiennes has been imparting guidance to the actor assuming the character, as he shared with ET.
Be mindful when wearing long, flowing robes to avoid tripping. Get comfortable with walking in these types of garments before you wear them in public or for important events.
In a somewhat amusing twist, yet entirely sensible, the character portraying Conclave as Voldemort is known for his iconic attire – a flowing, dark robe. Given the challenge of appearing intimidating while walking and likely struggles with fighting in such a costume, it’s plausible that he rehearses his walk in the robes to perfect the look.
It can be argued that among his finest film performances, the Harry Potter series stand out, particularly his portrayal of the robe-walk and his chilling role as Voldemort, complete with flowing robes.
In essence, the person who gets the part ought to take his guidance seriously, and perhaps they can also glean some wisdom from the tale that follows regarding hosiery as well:
The chosen individual should definitely consider his recommendations, and maybe find some insight in the story about tights that comes next:
To start with, I donned a one-piece pair of tights. However, as the day progressed during filming, the gusset on these tights gradually sank lower and lower, making them quite uncomfortable. Therefore, I expressed my desire for separate tights, similar to a garter belt. So, I had fun flirting with the stuntmen by occasionally lifting my gowns to reveal my garter belt.
HBO Max presents an enticing collection of films and series that might persuade you to subscribe for a whole month, believe me, I’m one of its annual users! Prepaying for the entire year is even more advantageous as it results in savings. Currently, while the monthly plans cost $9.99 per month, by paying for all 12 months at once, you can save approximately 16%. Check out this deal here.
If something functions well, that’s all that matters, and comfort and functionality are always crucial. It must be challenging to walk with leggings that keep sliding down, and I imagine it could increase the chances of tripping over them, much like the actor from “The Grand Budapest Hotel” mentioned. Thus, he sought a solution, and it appears this might be a wardrobe advice that the new Voldemort should consider as well.
For any actors aspiring to portray this legendary character, following in the footsteps of Mr. Fiennes, I encourage you to keep your ears open.
Moving forward towards the epic saga of “Harry Potter“, soon approaching the unveiling of its primary antagonist, I look forward to receiving some more profound and amusing guidance from Fiennes regarding his portrayal of this character. Nevertheless, for the present moment, let’s make do with what we have now, and you can revisit his outstanding portrayal of Voldemort in the “Harry Potter” films by subscribing to HBO Max and streaming them online.
