10 Most Unusual Demands By Harry Potter Actors
9. Ralph Fiennes Wanted A Hook On Voldemort's Wand
Not only is Lord Voldemort the main villain for the Harry Potter series, he has gone on to become one of the most iconic cinematic villains of an entire generation. Even if you haven’t seen the movies, you know the name.
Naturally, a lot went into the creation of such a character and his look was designed and brought to life on the big screen, but Ralph Fiennes was still able to bring something more to the table than merely his incredible talent.
Much of the former Tom Riddle’s appearance was based around the aesthetic of a snake, a theme that is present throughout the entire franchise. Fiennes wished to add to that with Voldemort’s movements, and so requested a specially made wand to make it happen.
Simply, there was a small hook added to the character’s trademark wand that allowed the actor to hold it while moving his hand more fluidly in something of a slithering motion, without having to close his hand around it. This was just one of the many, many details that went into making Lord Voldemort as memorable and iconic as he came to be.
