Ralph Fiennes (Lord Voldemort)
Perhaps best known for portraying a Nazi war criminal Amon Göth in Schindler’s List, Ralph Fiennes came into the Potter series with a long list of roles behind him. The actor who brought Potter’s titular villain, Lord Voldemort, to life spent six years on the magical films. As a talent with numerous Oscar and Golden Globes nominations, it was no shocker that Fiennes went on to have a stunning career after the Harry Potter films. In 2012, the actor landed a role in the twenty-third James Bond film, Skyfall, and he replaced Dame Judi Dench as M in subsequent Bond movies. His next big role came in 2014, when Fiennes starred in Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel as concierge Monsieur Gustave, a role that earned him appraisal from critics as well as Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations.
