00:00 In the Harry Potter films, the portrayal of Voldemort changes again and again.
00:06 In the first two films you only see the villain as the face and in his younger version.
00:12 From part 4 onwards, Ralph Fiennes embodies Voldemort, who experiences a kind of rebirth
00:17 at the end of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
00:21 Fiennes portrays Voldemort as he is described in the books.
00:25 Pale, thin, with snake-like features and slits for a nose.
00:30 There is one difference, however, in the books, Voldemort has red eyes.
00:36 For the film adaptation, however, it was decided that Ralph Fiennes' natural blue eye color
00:41 should be visible.
00:43 It is not known why the decision was made.
00:47 It's quite possible that it would simply be a difficult implementation for the makeup
00:51 team or the special effects.
00:53 However, the cold, blue eyes also fit the evil wizard perfectly and make him at least
00:59 as scary as red eyes would have been.
