Entertainment Weekly has another new list today: 17 Characters Who Are Charming — But Deadly. Voldemort, of course, is on the list!

VOLDEMORT/TOM RIDDLE
Played by Ralph Fiennes
The Harry Potter films (2001-present)

Known as the Dark Lord to those who dare not speak his name, this corrupted wizard represents ultimate evil in the world of J.K. Rowling’s magical books. And as played by the regal Ralph Fiennes — with childhood assists from young actors like Christian Clouson, Frank Dillane, and Fiennes’ own nephew, Hero Fiennes-Tiffin — it’s easy to see how Voldemort could seduce anyone to the dark side.

Thanks SS!

The MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) film ratings bulletin has some awesome news; Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone: Extended Edition had received a PG rating. Warner Bros. has confirmed that all Harry Potter films will have  a special, extended edition DVD/Blu-Ray release, stating the following:

Although we’ve not announced [it yet], all Harry Potter films are being planned to get special upcoming releases!

This hasn’t exactly been confirmed, so we need to wait for that, but all I have to say is: FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!! I have been DYING for Extended Editions of the Harry Potter movies, I only hope that they are as awesome as the Lord of the Rings Extended Editions (but that may be too much to hope for) and the Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe Extended Edition!

Thanks to HPANA for this great news!
