Ralph Fiennes (Red Dragon, Maid in Manhattan, Schindler’s List) and Miranda Richardson (The Hours, Sleepy Hollow, The Crying Game) have joined the all-star cast of Warner Bros. Pictures’ Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth film adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s popular Harry Potter novel series. Fiennes will play Harry Potter’s nemesis, the evil Lord Voldemort, and Richardson takes on the role of muckraking journalist Rita Skeeter.

As previously announced, the production has welcomed several new cast members to the ensemble, including Brendan Gleeson, who plays Hogwarts’ new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Mad-Eye Moody. Frances De La Tour plays the Headmistress of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, Madame Maxime; Roger Lloyd-Pack plays the Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, Barty Crouch; Pedja Bjelac plays Durmstrang Professor Igor Karkaroff; Jeff Rawle plays Amos Diggory; and David Tennant plays Barty Crouch Jr.

New additions to the young cast include Robert Pattinson as Cedric Diggory; Stanislav Ianevski as Quidditch star Viktor Krum; Clemence Poesy as Fleur Delacour; and Katie Leung as Cho Chang.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire will be released in November 2005 by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
