donnaimmaculataIt is my unshakable conviction that Jeremy Irons should play Lord Voldemort.
Yes, he is a cliché baddy. But hey, it's Jeremy. He's tall, he's thin, he can put on an evil glare like anything, and-
he would play Alan's and Jason's master.
I'd pay good money to see that.

This is so very true. They would convey exactly the chemistry I appreciate about Severus and Sirius.
But - I'm afraid I wouldn't survive Alan Rickman and Jeremy Irons portraying my favourite slash pairing.
Voldemort is indeed difficult. you need someone able to project presence and malevolence without turning absurd - that's why Jeremy sprang to mind. Sirius is already taken, after all.

Of course, Jeremy Irons has already made fun of the HP movies by participating in the spoof, so who knows if they'll ever pick him up for any role now?

What spoof? Never heard of it.
They shouldn't be so squeamish and cast him despite of the spoof. Maybe I should tell them.
