I'm getting the evil vibes from that boy. They did a great job in casting him!

Can I be added too?

Sure Gean. I have a feeling we'll see alot of new fans pop up for this boy now. Thread revivals are so fun.

ETA: More from the USA today article about Hero from David Yates.

Quote:
Voldemort is played by Ralph Fiennes, and his 11-year-old incarnation is played by 10-year-old Hero Fiennes-Tiffin, the actor's nephew. Not only does he bear a resemblance to the grown-up Voldemort, but he also has the requisite intensity, Yates says.

"His mother (Martha Fiennes) is a film director, and Hero was very focused and disciplined," Yates says. "The fact that he's related to Ralph wasn't the primary reason for choosing him. It was an advantage that he looked very similar to Ralph. Of course that was useful. But primarily I went for Hero because of this wonderful haunted quality that seemed to bring Tom Riddle alive on-screen for us."

Yates stressed how hard it can be for very young actors to find the necessary dark place to play such a creepy character.

"But even though he's the nicest child you'd ever want to meet, sweet-natured and pleasant, he got the corners and dark moods and odd spirit of the character."

Audiences also will meet a teenage Voldemort, still known as Tom Riddle. He's played by Frank Dillane. The character made an appearance in the second Potter film, Chamber of Secrets, played by a different actor.

"Even at a very young age, Tom Riddle shows tendencies toward cruelty and maliciousness," Yates says. "And it's a very unsettling thing to see."

Just have to come and give my props to Hero. From that one still alone, I think he's going to do an amazing job with young Tom.

Ooooo! I didn't know this thread existed. Cool! Hero does look fantastic in that shot. So so excited to see him act. He definitely has the whole creepy little kid thing that's need to be as creepy as he was in the book.

Indeed. This kid has a bright future ahead of him I'm sure. I mean coming from the same family as Ralph and Joseph Fiennes? It must run in the genes!

I was thinking about making a new header for this thread that incorporates all the incarnations of Voldemort/Tom Riddle but we still don't have any images of Frank Dillane yet of him playing the part so I'm holding off until we do. He deserves to be there with the others.

I love the new trailer, and I love that they chose to have its focus on Tom Riddle. That kid is super creepy......and I mean that as an absolute compliment!
