Young Tom Riddle – Hero Fiennes Tiffin
Hero Fiennes Tiffin is leaving a lasting impression that goes well beyond his Potterverse origins. The actor practically had evil power in his blood; he didn’t just happen to land the role of young Lord Voldemort in “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” Given that Ralph Fiennes, the actor who played the terrifying adult Voldemort, is his nephew, it appears that he was destined for this legendary part. Hero ventured into genres beyond his “Harry Potter” persona, showcasing his skills in suspenseful thrillers and contemporary love stories. He won over hearts with the movie “After” and had us riveted to the TV show “Safe.”
Peter Pettigrew – Timothy Spall
Who can forget Timothy Spall’s iconic performance as Peter Pettigrew, one of the most elusive characters in the wizarding world of Harry Potter? Timothy had to put in a lot of effort to play Peter, bringing a hint of sad humanity to his cunning and cowardice. His portrayal of the notorious Wormtail was a classic example of villainy. You’ll witness today how Spall has changed from that enigmatic figure lurking in He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named’s shadows. The days of playing one-dimensional foils or simply lackeys are long gone. Timothy is demonstrating that his brilliance has no boundaries with his roles in “The Syndicate” and “The Grand Duke of Corsica,” both of which included heartbreaking representations.
