Happy Birthday, Ralph Fiennes!

Today Ralph Fiennes celebrates another birthday! Born Dec. 22, 1962, Fiennes has risen through the industry ranks to become a highly-regarded British actor, most well-known in the Harry Potter fandom for his portrayal of Lord Voldemort, the villain we love to hate.

Fiennes is currently gaining buzz for his performance in A Bigger Splash. Not only does he expertly bring to life another over-powering antagonist, but he’s also getting raves for the dance moves he sports while doing it.

Perhaps he was celebrating early? Check him out in the role and judge for yourself!

You can also enter the Evening Standard contest to win tickets to a Jan. 14 charity event benefiting Gift of Life, which features Fiennes performing Shakespearean sonnets and readings.

Or simply put on your favorite Harry Potter film starring the man himself and raise a glass of butterbeer to join the Leaky Cauldron in wishing him the happiest of birthdays. While no one was sad when Voldemort’s reign of terror ended, we are all glad to wish you well in another year!
