The Goblet of Fire's dicretor Mike Newell has convinced the English Patient's star to take on the role of He-who-must-not-be-named, the sinister character of Lord Valdemort.

Ralph Fiennes is a top English actor and has starred with Jennifer Lopez in Maid in Manhattan and is also voicing a character in a Wallace and Gromit film.

Only Fools and Horses star Roger Lloyd-Pack will play Barty Crouch Snr. He also appeared in The Vicar of Dibley.

Jason Isaacs will also be back as Lucius Malfoy and Shirley Henderson as Moaning Mrytle.
