| | |  Ralph Fiennes discusses scaring kids as Voldemort, young costars, end of Harry Potter
While promoting his directorial debut, Coriolanus, actor Ralph Fiennes discussed the subject of Shakespeare and whether the famous playwright was a fraud (in ties with the fall release of Anonymous with David Thewlis, Rhys Ifans, and Jamie Campbell Bower), as well as his role as Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter films. Ralph gave a brief anecdote about frightening a child on the movie set while he was in full makeup and costume as the dark lord, his relationship and thoughts on his younger costars, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson, and his thoughts on the end of the series.  So has any young child ever cried upon seeing you, thinking they've just seen Voldemort in the flesh?
Ralph Fiennes: Have you not read the story? On [the "Harry Potter" set] the child of the script supervisor was sitting in a chair and I just walked past and looked and the child dissolved into tears. Very satisfying.
Amazing. But never in public?
Fiennes: No. I mean I had all of the makeup on and stuff.
Do you keep in touch with any of the young actors?
Fiennes: I'm not in touch with them, no.
Are there any young actors from the films that you're particularly excited to see grow into other roles?
Fiennes: All three of those actors. Daniel [Radcliffe] I think is interesting. He's very committed and very brave and stuck his neck out. I'm very keen to see how he grows. How he emerges. But I think they're all very talented, all three of them.
How did it feel to finally wrap the "Potter" series up after such a commitment?
Fiennes: I think it's come to its natural end. I think it was good that it ended. It seemed to be there for just the right amount of time and it sustained itself very well. Warner Bros. and the producers were smart in the way they kept up to speed with the changing taste of their audience. The series sort of grew up with its core audience as they grew up and got darker and tougher and kind of quite adult in the end, I think. I thought they handled it brilliantly. It was really smartly produced, cleverly produced to be big entertainment, but to have a smartness about it. Every department, its design, its look.

Hafe to admit, Voldemort didn't scare me half as much as Amon Goeth in Schindler's list! But we are talking scaring CHILDREN, here. (And I actually thought Bellatrix was scarier than Voldie in the films!)

Only the guy who played Voldermort would think a child dissolving into tears is satisfying.

It would be quite satisfying to scare a kid to tears while in Voldemort costume. Hah!
