There Have Been Several Dark Lords In The Harry Potter Movies
The Dark Lord plays a central antagonist role in the Harry Potter franchise, with several actors who played Voldemort in the movies. Before eventually facing his archnemesis, Harry Potter, Voldemort was portrayed in a few other forms: as a child, teen, in disguise as a Hogwarts teacher, and in his true form. A total of six actors have played Voldemort — and with the upcoming HBO Harry Potter TV series, a seventh will presumably step into the role. While Ralph Fiennes is the most famous Voldem...
He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named Didn't Truly Appear Until The Fourth Harry Potter Movie
Though other actors played Voldemort before him, there's no doubt that Fiennes is the definitive version of the Dark Lord. Before Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire premiered, Fiennes had acted in notable roles such as Schindler's List, The English Patient, and Red Dragon. Fiennes not only redefined the role, but was even integral to Voldemort's creepier film design, as it was Fiennes' idea for the character to have human eyes. Bringing in Fiennes certainly added more buzz, although it's unc...
Voldemort Isn't The Only Harry Potter Character To Change Actors
Harry Potter's Lord Voldemort actor changes are far from being the only successful recastings in the franchise. Griphook, the Gringotts Bank goblin, was first played by Verne Troyer in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, with his American accent and high-pitched voice being overdubbed by Warwick Davis. The voiceover actor then completely replaced Troyer as Griphook in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Meanwhile, Albus Dumbledore's best friend Elphias Doge was played by bit actor Peter...
The First Voldemort Actor Isn't Bitter About Being Recast
Though he was the first actor who plays Voldemort in the massively successful franchise, Richard Bremmer doesn't seem to hold any grudges about being replaced later on. Bremmer admitted (via: DigitalSpy) that he accepts the decision to recast the role, saying "I've been in the business a long time and it didn't surprise me they just went for a bigger name, being Hollywood led, and I'm happy to pass it on to Ralph." Bremmer also expressed that he was grateful to play the role he did in the ser...
Richard Bremmer was the first actor to portray Voldemort in the Harry Potter movies, in a flashback scene of his attack on the Potters. He also voiced Voldemort's face in Quirrell's head, while Ralph Fiennes became the main Voldemort in later films.
- Richard Harris as Dumbledore. Although there are still plenty of Harry Potter fans who prefer Richard Harris' depiction of the Hogwarts headmaster, the role was recast ahead of the third film, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, after the two-time Oscar winner passed away in 2002 from Hodgkin's disease.
- Richard Bremmer as Voldemort. When Lord Voldemort first appeared on-screen in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, there wasn't much for the actor portraying him to do.
- Jamie Waylett as Vincent Crabbe. As Draco Malfoy's pastry-loving henchman Vincent Crabbe, Jamie Waylett did a suitable enough job. The young actor, like many of his contemporaries in the series, was completely new to the world of film when he suited up as the Slytherin sycophant, but he gradually got more and more screen time throughout his six-film tenure and was convincing as the sniveling sidekick.
- Verne Troyer as Griphook. The casting of the Harry Potter films was limited to British thespians—a rule so strict it even forced producers to turn down Robin Williams for the role of Hagrid—but Verne Troyer became the rare exception when he was cast as the Gringotts banker Griphook in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
