No one could deny that the image of the Dark Lord is creepy, however, it was once thought of to make it even scarier. The original image of Lord Voldemort was so dark that they decided to change it.
Like any novel that becomes a series or movie, from the pages to the screen there are some differences, and the franchise of Harry Potter was not the exception. While the films starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint were loved by audiences, true potterheads were disappointed to see that some of their favorite parts didn’t make it into the final version.
Fortunately, there will be a second chance for lovers of Harry Potter with the upcoming arrival of a series that will cover the events of the books in greater detail. With seven seasons, one for each JK Rowling novel, There will be more time to delve into topics that were forgotten, such as Hermione’s revolution or the existence of the Squibs (those born to a wizard who did not inherit magical abilities).
One of the biggest disappointments that the potterheads had, which to this day they cannot forget, was the first time the Dark Lord appeared on the big screen in harry potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Although Lord Voldemort sharing a head with the bumbling Professor Quirrell was a sinister scene, The reality is that the original version of the character Ralph Fiennes It looked very different from what the public saw in theaters.
Initially, Warner Bros. tried to make a more faithful recreation of what was said about the dark wizard. According to the books’ description, Lord Voldemort looked less human and more like a reptile, specifically, a snake.. Even the one once called Tom Riddle had sharp fangs and red eyes.
Although a Lord Voldemort this terrifying would have been great, Warner Bros. decided to change the final image of the Dark Lord. The reason? The studio believed that this Voldemort figure might be too creepy for childrenand since it was mainly aimed at a children’s audience, they preferred to make a less scary version.
With the series of Harry Potter In sight, many fans hope that the “mistakes” of the film adaptation will be resolved and that the magical world will be shown as it is described in the novels. According to Rowling, who will executive produce the project, the television show will be a completely faithful work of her books.. For now, there is no information about the cast and whether any of the former members of the franchise will return to Hogwarts.
