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.

00:41 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.
