Ralph Fiennes' nephew Hero Fiennes Tiffin has landed a coveted role in the next Harry Potter film playing a younger version of his uncle's character Lord Voldemort. The nine-year-old actor will join Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint in Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince, the sixth movie installment of the Potter franchise.
Tiffin will take on the part of an 11-year-old Voldemort, who grows up to be Potter's arch-nemesis.
However, the appointment will disappoint thousands of young hopefuls who turned up to audition for the role. It follows the decision to cast a professional actress - 20-year-old Jessie Cave - in the role of Lavender Brown for the next film, a move which angered thousands of teenage girls who lined up for hours for a slot in the open auditions.
Filming for the new movie has begun at Leavesden Studios in Watford, England, and the film is due for release next year.
