To be honest, I wasn't blown away by Ralph Fiennes performance (just as I wasn't blown away by the film in general) He has always had an evil look about him in all his films and this one is no different. However, his voice makes him sound like a 90-year-old munchkin dying of chronic bronchitis...

I know that in the books he is supposed to have an evil, high-pitched voice... but the one he uses doesn't cut it for me. Not even remotely scary.

A game of "strip gobstones" would instill more fear in me than Ralph Fiennes' Voldy...

All hail Alan Rickman though...
