The Leaky Cauldron reports that Warner Bros. today confirmed that Ralph Fiennes ("Red Dragon", "Schindler's List") and Miranda Richardson ("The Hours", "Sleepy Hollow") have joined the all-star cast of Warner Bros. Pictures' "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", the fourth film adaptation of J.K. Rowling's popular Harry Potter novel series. Fiennes will play Harry Potter's nemesis, the evil Lord Voldemort, and Richardson takes on the role of muckraking journalist Rita Skeeter.

Meanwhile actor Robbie Coltrane was recently asked by The Sunday Herald about whether he would participate playing Hagrid in the fifth, sixth and seventh film adaptations - "I don’t know. I really don’t know what the circumstances will be for the last three. I don’t know if I should be saying this, although if anyone has got any brains they’ll have worked it out, but if Jo Rowling hasn’t finished books six and seven within the next two years, the kids we’ve got at the moment will be too old to play the parts. And they may not even want to. So it depends on the variables. In some ways I would rather get on with something else, but I don’t want to say that because it sounds so ……. ungrateful. So, no, I don’t know if I’m going to do any more," he continues. "They will, of course, to enchant me back, offer me frightening amounts of money".

Thanks to 'Mel'.
