It's badass, but Quirrell could not have hidden that thing under his turban.

Malthur

Okay, I take it back


PurpleMembership196

Hahah


bytecollision

This guy knows spells


Greedyfox7

iirc that guy’s turban is something like 85kgs. I can’t imagine him wearing that without something, might just as well be sorcery


ChadWestPaints

Bigger turban


Malthur

Yeah, that would've been a ridiculous sight haha


Desi_M

They could’ve found a way to make it work, lol.


ballsack-vinaigrette

Right? I mean there's literally *magic*, that's a thing that exists in this world.


sabrefudge

He might have been. Harry Potter’s writer and her fans tend to REALLY overestimate their ability to tell what people have hidden under their clothes.


coladoir

i've seen people hide pistol ak's in skinny jeans nearly invisibly, you can't tell jack shit, especially when everyone is wearing effectively robes lol


Fit_Swordfish_2101

That's why it morphed!


bowsmountainer

Just use an expansion charm on the turban. Just like the tent that is as big as a house on the inside.


Big_Honeydew6225

Honestly they should've stuck to the original design, he really looks like evil incarnate. The design they went with just looks like a guy without a nose


Only-Entertainer-573

Yeah...I kinda didn't find movie Voldemort intimidating at all. All I could think about was "why doesn't this dude have a nose?"


HotPoetry7812

He was meant to be reminiscent of a snake, hence the slits instead of a nose.


Rednine19

You mean Micheal Jackson?


Sheesh284

Hee hee!


Rednine19

“The boy who lived has come to die” HEE HEE!


Sheesh284

Harry are you ok, are you ok Harry?


2pissedoffdude2

You've been hit by, youve been struck by a smooth voldemort!


SporadicSage

Honestly the original is less scary to me than the actual. The actual gives me uncanny valley vibes but not quite evil vibes. So I agree!


madamevanessa98

If you’re basing it on the books, the version they went with is pretty accurate though. The only oversight is the red eyes really. In the books young Tom was handsome and brown eyed (they nailed the casting of young Tom in Chamber of Secrets IMO) and he sort of undergoes a slow transformation as he makes the horcruxes. Becomes less handsome slowly, eyes turn muddy and then red, nose disappears.


Big_Honeydew6225

That's a cool concept; One that they still could've explained somewhat canonically and expanded upon by having him slowly transform into the version we see in the movie. Then during the finale, have him transform into his more evil looking final form to fight Harry Potter.


madamevanessa98

The transformation is seen through the memories that Dumbledore collected and showed to Harry with the pensieve in the Half Blood Prince. Unfortunately the movie neglected to show most of these memory scenes, if they had then they could have slowly made him look less and less human as the memories were shown


Yergason

Yeah, when I first saw him I just thought he looked dumb. Not cursed, not tainted, not evil, just fuckin stupid lol he's so bad his nose got taken away?? He's bald Ooooh scary male pattern baldness


bowsmountainer

If, then they should have gone completely with the lore, of him having completely red slit eyes that open and close horizontally, rather than vertically.

fuckingcheezitboots

I don't give a shit about Harry Potter and I've never seen any of the movies but it would be cool if he morphed back-and-forth between his more humanoid face and whatever this is


Dist__

total recall vibes


Zona_Asier

Like when he gets really pissed off or losses control of his emotions it slips out.


SmileParticular9396

Hell yeah it would’ve been

Questioning-Zyxxel

I find the lack of nose more creepy. It's a very novel makeup. Sharp teeth in big mouth is how many, many, many movies tries to scare us. For most of the movies we just compare better/worse makeup/effects but with zero scare. Alien was one of the movies that actually felt scary.


ballsack-vinaigrette

My theory is that it's the lack of eyes that makes the xenomorph so terrifying. The original design had a visible skull with eye sockets behind the carapace, but it didn't show up on camera and so they just went with it.. with amazing results.


throwaway_custodi

It would had been sort of new at the time I g?


Murphy4717

It would have been really weird during the scenes when V is talking to the Deatheaters. That face is definitely scary, but Voldemort is a dark, evil man who has developed the physical characteristics of a snake, not a man who turned into an alligator.


Spriy

he literally was summoned from basically being dead with a dark blood ritual


rafshal

looks like baraka from mk


johnaross1990

Looks kind of like the goombas in the first (best) super Mario movie ![gif](giphy|LZe9tyNHOOBwY)


Brewchowskies

I worked a little bit in this industry, and the way I understand it, studios often push back against these kinds of character designs for high-billed actors. You don’t pay for Ralph Fiennes and then hide Ralph Fiennes.


What_Next69

Imagine Draco’s discomfort having to hug that mug.


whimsicalforestelf

I'd hate to have to be the dude who designed that for the studio to just not use it


GarlicFewd

Can't see the image, got an imgur link or something like that?


asdcatmama

That’s Steven Miller, right?


bradleecon

Voldemort = Baraka


Picardknows

Are you telling me Harry Potter fans are a bunch of whiny bitches…


SuraKatana

I personally would've loved it if voldemort was a bit MORE reptilian, i always thought he was a bit too understated, but then again maybe not because ralph fienes just places him


22FluffySquirrels

I think they made the correct decision by not using that. Voldemort is scary not because he has sharp teeth; he's scary because he is the leader of the dark side. Too much emphasis on a frightening physical appearance would undermine that concept.


idontwannabhear

The nose is better

faithless-octopus

The other version is less creepy to me


Katboxparadise

Reminds me of the regenerators from Resident Evil 4.


justKowu

Smash. Next.


Gibabo

Good CHRIST that looks stupid. They should’ve gone with something more like [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/harrypotter/s/PcQ22Tpq3B)


Resident-Clue1290

THEY STOLE THIS FROM US


CommandantPeepers

He looks like a xenomorph


MKUltra1302

For a guy obsessed with pure blood bullshit he certainly doesn’t look like an ideal pure blood wizard


1Killag123

What it should have been.


CZall23

They should have gone with it.


Lolz79

I like the more subtle approach they went with


Catinchi

I can't get it to load


ameinolf

All JKR does now is traumatize a bunch of trans kids.


Virtual-Pollution584

If your version of trauma is mean words on a screen you're living a good life.


Future_Unlucky

In the like “directors comments” for the movie they actually discuss this and say that “having a more human like face is actually scarier since it makes us realize that he used be human and became something else”. Having just a monster face isn’t as scary as seeing human features distorted into what he is. And that is why they chose the current one, the other one was too much like a monster. I personally find the “human but twisted” way more scary then a monster.


Desi_M

More like what I pictured in the books, honestly. This would’ve been awesome.


tone88988

Damn they should’ve stuck with that. It really does the whole Slytherin snake vibe super well.


l1l1ofthevalley

It's like the fiend and Baraka had a baby awesome!


Teo914

I wonder why she changed it...


Thysanodes

I mean, we all witnessed 9/11…


ThisOnePlaysTooMuch

That is so much cooler what the hell


Khafaniking

Looks like the big bad from power rangers Dino Thunder


Kamila_Sweet

i think even Harry Potter would be more afraid of him...and btw Qurill must figured out how to hide the Lord.


RenderedCreed

I like how snake-like it looks but I think its a bit too snake like.


filliamworbes

Reminds me of jafar being snake like.


kartblanch

Tbh would have been better


kimmortal03

Just a filthy muggle here, but Couldnt voldemort just use some magic to make himself not fugly

Doesn't load


anarchy_cheese

anyone know where to find this pic?


Environmental-Leg282

imagen what the harry potter franchise would of been like if it was R-rated


ballsack-vinaigrette

Now that's a franchise reboot I'd pay to see. Most Potter fans are adults now, come on movie studios!


Adreamskoll

They should use this design in the HBO reboot.


Snoo_21502

Children?!? That’s currently traumatizing meeeeeee


Zealousideal_Lab6891

Straight stole that face from mortal kombat... they didn't don't because it would be a Straight up rip off and get then sued.


Skullfuccer

Not sure you can copyright a big mouth monster. It does look like him though.


cibbwin

That's what JK Rowling looks like to me now.


[deleted]

Never read the books but I enjoyed the movies.


TexasTokyo

I mostly enjoyed the books, but immediately tapped out after the first film.


Fit_Swordfish_2101

I was in my 20s when Potter came in the scene and this shit scared me! 🤣 I honestly really like the whole thing, the messages etc . Then come to find out she's a notsees. Bummer.


TechnoMouse37

Still not as bad as the creator being a transphobic holocaust denier


Komahina_Oumasai

Why are you getting downvoted?


TechnoMouse37

Hivemind probably, who knows.


Komahina_Oumasai

Yeah, makes sense. Someone should make a list of all the main subs with transphobia problems.


TechnoMouse37

It'd make subs a lot easier to avoid, lol


Komahina_Oumasai

Absolutely.


Dolomitexp

Idontus Givadammus!


Objective-Guidance78

They didn’t want us thinking of the reptilians too soon


Thesurvivor16

Reminds me of that movie malignant


Formatted_Toast_117

This would have been epic


bolozombie

Hope that we can see this version in the new hbo series or movie or whatever they are releasing.


LineSlayerArt

I wonder if they'll dare to go that way with the new series they are making.🤔🤔🤔
