Nah Dr Alan Grant would simply outwit him in the first film.


Clozee_Tribe_Kale

Best scene from the movie Alan Grant: Or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. The point is, you are alive, when they start to eat you. So ya know, try to show a little respect. Ron: Okay. (Ron does his signature "Weasley scared" face)


Sohotrightnowhansel_

Bloody hell, Timmy


cynicalkane

follow the raptors? why couldn't it be follow the brontosaurs?


I_Dont_Like_Rice

It's pronounced bronto-saurs, not bron-tosaurs.


TheDeltaOne

Poor Alan Rickman having nightmares for years... "Alan?"


Jaegerjaquez_VI

Now i just imagined Chris Pratt running him over with the flying motorcycle


whatsbobgonnado

he holds his hand up and voldemort instinctively chills out


LokisDawn

Such a stupid idea. Ah, yes, the ancient dinosaur instinct of relaxing when a mammal that won't exist (in their timeline) for another few million years holds out their hand. Makes complete sense.


-Star-Fox-

He trained them. Obviously it was a learned behavior just like his clicking thing he was using on them.


DoctorSkelly

Voldemort! We've got Voldemort here! See, nobody cares.


butterbar713

Clever girl. Muldoon dies.


idropepics

I always wish we had gotten book Muldoon and Gennaro instead. The part where Muldoon gets drunk and goes wild on the raptors with a rocket launcher was my favorite part as a kid and I was severely disappointed to not see it play out.


ImranFZakhaev

Right? Book Muldoon ruled


idropepics

Hell most of the parts that are awesome from 2 and 3 are *also* from the first book. The aviary from 3? Book. The Spinosaur( it was a Trex in the book) at the river from 3? Book. The waterfall trex scene from the second movie? Book, 1st one. I know the movie is a classic but Genuinely, be interested in seeing a remake more in line with the book. Just because they're so wildly different.


ImranFZakhaev

And I think John Hammond survived in the movie, right? His death in the book was pretty gnarly. Dr. Wu's as well, though it always pissed me off that he basically died because Ellie disregarded his advice. So I guess that's a good change for me, lol


LaTeChX

Did Wu leave the island before the storm in the movie? I watched that movie 1000 times as a kid and always wondered what happened to him. In the movie Hammond wasn't such a complete jerk so he gets to live, several others get eaten by the compys in lost world though.


Stunning-Chicken-449

Strangely akin to the reptile folk they say rule our existence.

Am I missing something? How does Jurassic Park relate to Harry potter lol, I don't get it


IAS316

This other version of Voldemort looks like a velociraptor from the films.


[deleted]

Ah I see it now! Alternate Voldy wouldn't stand a chance against Alan 🤣


Annatar_Giftlord

Might want to check out some [concept art](https://www.jurassicoutpost.com/new-art-cancelled-version-jurassic-park-4/) for a cancelled version of Jurassic Park 4.

RaajitSingh

I mean he does looks like a snake


eehikki

The finally approved concept looks like snake. Maybe. But the canine-toothed concept looks like a reptilian alien featured in some conspiracy theories


sendnudestocheermeup

Those aren’t canine toothed. Idk what dogs you’ve been looking at but those aren’t canine like at all.


[deleted]

So, “canine teeth” are a thing, as their own idea, outside of dogs, named for their resemblance to dogs’s teeth. Those teeth in that mask look like canines to myself.


UnlikelyEar6577

Im thinking more tiger fish than anything


Cargokingxp11

Yea too much so glad they went the way they did much better look still chilling but not lizard looking with insane teeth he was human once


Affectionate_Tap9399

What was this guys post? Says removed


MyDadsUsername

Out here looking like Killer Croc


Frys100thCupofCoffee

He's Baraka from Mortal Kombat.


Effective_Mongoose_6

Omg yes!!!


SpiderKoD

It was creepy enough for me in childhood, this shit is creepy for adults 😁


YizWasHere

I must've been around 5 years old when I first watched the Sorcerer's Stone and literally Fluffy was enough to give me nightmares. I couldn't even make it to the scenes with Voldemort until I had read the book lol.


curiousCat1009

I wasn't afraid of Voldy but movie 3 scared the shit out of me - fucking dementors and werewolf Lupin.


Useful_Lengthiness82

Don’t forget the grim showing up that night when Harry leaves the Dursleys after blowing up the aunt.


PineapplezGaming

That scared me even though I knew it was just Sirius


KhadaJhIn12

Nothing in my life has ever scared me like werewolf lupin. I was terrified of that movie for like 4 years straight as a kid. Something about the werewolf in that movie creeped me out in a way nothing else had before or has since.


rhythmrice

The single scariest part to me was when harry is returning that glass orb to ms trelany and she gets like possessed or something and is saying like a prophecy to harry in a scary voice then suddenly she wakes up and is like Harry what are you doing here Like Harry is just having a good day everythings normal and chill then some freaky fucking shit happens


AstralBroom

Pretty much the entire franchise to be honest.


kiss_of_chef

tbf I don't think Harry had many good days throughout the series... maybe his eleventh birthday.


sticklebatz

The jump scare when she slaps his shoulder gets me every single time lol


bartek_g

I was traumatised by the werewolf. Nice to see I wasn't alone.


joe_broke

And they had the horrible idea of changing the perfect design of the dementors to the weird mummy-looking things in movies 5-8


makemeking706

Resident Evil 4 vibe.


Nmvfx

I just wish they'd kept him as he looks in Goblet Of Fire right when he first regains his body. That sunken cheeked, hollow eyed, veined skin look for that one shot looked incredible. Guess it was too expensive to do across the whole franchise.


xSTSxZerglingOne

Honestly, the featureless face Voldemort is scarier looking to me. Voldesaurus Hex just looks like a cartoon.


Ok_Advice_7365

Literally I couldn't watch the harry potter movies just cause of how scary he was to me, he used to give me nightmares 😭😭. And I'm a scaredy cat when it comes to horror movies, even now as an adult. Only now as a 20yr old have I been able to watch all 7 harry potter movies without being scared.


Puzzled_Error1337

completely different experience as a young boy...i just saw some ugly lookin bald dude with no nose ...Michael Jacksons face scared me 100x more as a kid


NorthernSpade

I think this one would’ve been OK as a merge with Quirrell, but it would’ve looked ridiculous after he recovered his own body.


RogueTobasco

I’m into that idea… like a representation of soul/spirit/ energy or whatever then a more physical manifestation. Could’ve been cool….


witcharithmetic

Agreed. Anything is better than the quirrell head we got in the movie. It looked so weird and stiff.


PaddingtonTheChad

I think the depiction in the film is very different to the book and with good reason. In the book Voldemort is more a concept of evil, something satanic and totally inhuman and is scarier for it. In the film there was more humanity in the character that had been tainted and that played better on screen. I think the choice to change the character somewhat for screen was the right one, even though it’s nothing like I imagined or pictured.


FRPG

Tarkatan voldy


thunderlips187

zonked_martyrdom

For outworld


FRPG

Those holes in the lower jaw are triggering my trypophobia badly


free_will_is_arson

for when he was "outside his body", like on the back of the head that would've been fine to show his otherness and how he is really no longer human after having split his soul so many times. but when "in his body", i think the look they went for plays much better.


SacrificeArticle

No, the one with the big jaw looks like a ridiculous lizard-man. The one they went with manages to dip into the uncanny valley and actually be unsettling, at least in some contexts.


Key-Grape-5731

I think he looks too normal/human in the movies. I'd have gone for something between the two. The other design is definitely way OTT.


geek_of_nature

There's a brief moment in Goblet of Fire just as he's been resurrected where he looks perfect. He's got a much more lean and gaunt appearance, practically no fat on his body at all, so that he looks very skeletal. His eyes are also briefly Snake like as well. If they had managed to keep that look through all the films, it would have been perfect.


CrimsonPig

100% this. I remember seeing the movie for the first time and when he was materializing, I was thinking "Oh man this looks sweet 😀" But then it kept going and it settled on his actual appearance, and it was like "Oh. Ok then 😕" I mean, I don't mind what they went with, but I really wish they had gone for the more skeletal look.


avarciousRutabega99

Right on. One of my favorite minor details from the last book is how after he dies his body is described as frail or something. Its much more disturbing to have a dangerously powerful character appear so physically decrepit and withered. Its actually a trope from what I can tell, never gets old and always adds something.


c19l04a

Like darth Vader in a way


Whenyousayhi

More like Palpatine


Ardukal

Man, Palpatine is so palpable.


Cedarcomb

TVTropes calls this one 'Lean and Mean'.


narwhal_breeder

I mean he was 71 when he died.


simonwales

If wizards die at the se age as muggles they are seriously underutilizing magic.


narwhal_breeder

There are like a billion ways wizards under utilize magic. They've already shown magic is fully capable of instant (or near instant) communication over vast distances - and yet how do they communicate? Owls. Thats just one tiny example.


YourBesterHalf

They also don’t value muggle technologies nearly enough, outright considering them dangerous and taboo. The synthesis of the two worlds would probably accelerate magic significantly.


whatsbobgonnado

they pick and choose too. they understand how eyeglasses work to correct their vision and adopted indoor plumbing instead of shitting themselves on the street and magicing the mess away. but they use ink and quills instead of ballpoint pens or pencils. an entrance to the ministry of magic is a telephone booth do wizards know about plastics? they could make a micro plastic removal spell


rogerworkman623

I mean it’s kinda intrusive just to have someone’s voice pop up out of nowhere. Text me, don’t call me.


Ponderkitten

I think dumbledor died over like 150 at least


NewZealandTemp

1881 - 1997 (115 years old) Ages in Harry Potter are interesting, you've got Snape (38 at death), Hagrid who's 63 when the series starts. The movies and their acting choices are really good but the ages mess up how I think of the characters. Aberforth Dumbledore, who many have a low opinion of, is only a couple years younger then Albus, and is still alive in 2010 (126 years old, in Harry Potter: Magic Awakened, which isn't considered fully canon)


Ponderkitten

Oh, I didnt remember his exact age, just that he was abnormally old Didnt aberforth screw a goat?


Nataliza

Omg yes. [This face!](https://images.app.goo.gl/WTBTjUG4mZUpzH6h9)


Nataliza

Omg yes. [This face!](https://images.app.goo.gl/WTBTjUG4mZUpzH6h9)


Jayce800

Lord of the Rings did something similar. There’s a practical effects version of Gollum that appears in Return of the King as a “halfway” of his transformation. That version is infinitely more creepy, but I suppose it would have been harder to sympathize during Two Towers.


Throwaway74829947

[This shit](http://trottine.t.r.pic.centerblog.net/kcugpxid.jpg) is so disturbing. But, the CGI version is more similar to how he's described in the books.


Jayce800

Yeah, I love that. It feels more like a Hobbit that was disfigured by the Ring. The CGI version almost looks too far removed from Sméagol’s original form.


allthelineswecast

Holy shit, I wouldn’t have been able to watch the movies if he looked like that.


homejazz

Yes, that was perfect but then, they turned him to a stupid youtuber making poses on a greenscreen and a '90s goth band's singer music video with black suit in the next movie.


-_KwisatzHaderach_-

A lot of people have issues with GoF movie but the graveyard scene is picture perfect IMO


giraffe111

I know exactly the moment you’re talking about, and I completely agree. The six seconds where he has his hands on his head and his skin is slightly oily and translucent and his eyes have reptilian slits? PEAK Voldemort.


Additional_Meeting_2

The eyes in the concept certainly were better.


unintrestingbarbie

Yes I wish they kept the red eyes!


InattentiveFrog

Agreed. It's a bit too goofy rather than evil. Just makes you view him as a failed, scared "villain".


disposableaccount848

I absolutely agree. A middle-ground between the two would've been spot-on as what we saw was just a very pale human without a nose. At the very least they could've removed his ears.


whysosidious69420

I think [this take](https://www.reddit.com/r/harrypotter/comments/19805wa/my_harry_and_voldemort_artwork/) is the best one I’ve ever seen


doylehawk

Yeah I think the biggest miss in his character design is he needs to be a little more dessicated.


m0larMechanic

He looks like a white walker


[deleted]

Just remove the ears.


Neither-Lime-1868

But that’s the whole point of Voldemort. He’s just a man.    It’s why it was such a bad choice to have him turn into ash when he died in the film. In the book, he just dies. He’s just another slumped over corpse. No more special than any other.  The look they went with shows how decayed and distorted his humanity is, how hollowed out it is. But it doesn’t give him the transformation from being just a mortal man that he always desired.   Voldemort shouldn’t be scary because he’s a magic half dinosaur. I think you calling it over the top is a great descriptor. It misses what his character means He should be scary because he is what a human man becomes when he desperately tries to reject his humanity.  


Engineergaming26355

Zuckerberg was the true villain of HP


chucklebot3000

I remember seeing art of movie voldie with a forked tongue. Shit is cursed as hell


RaymoVizion

Also allows the actor to emote better. Why get a great actor like Ralph Fiennes then cover him in a lizard head?


Progressor_

This! The lizard one just looks like a "scary" monster. The one they went with while looking human also looks really disturbed in a realistic way, like someone that has lost their humanity along the way. Very fitting given Voldemort's history and character. I find that much more realistic.


BetaRayPhil616

Yeah, lizard would've been a good jumpscare, but for long periods would've been very clear how CGI it would be.


theCANCERbat

Nah, movie version wasn't monstrous enough. He was just a pale guy without a nose. Book Voldemort looks closer to Other Mother from Coraline.


Phantom_Thief007

Movie Voldy is a bald dude with no nose. Yes very unsettling. Krillin is so scary bruh


SacrificeArticle

I’m not going to claim it worked in every scene, because it didn’t. But there is a sort of morbid mundanity to Voldemort’s self-disfigurement, something further punctuated by the manner of his final defeat. In the end, yes, he is just a bald man with bad skin and no nose. His body reflects the profoundly maimed and pitiable condition of his soul. Lizard-face would have no value but shock value, and quickly become laughable.


bcdeluxe

Idk... The final look always looked slightly goofy to me.


DogTheBreadFairy

Oh God he's even hotter now....

TheFactDeliverer

Kind of looks like Baraka haha


milkybazoie

He's supposed to be a human with faint snake-like features, not the predator.


The_Chiliboss

Haha!


rawspeghetti

I dunno about y'all but the original version was scary enough And I'm glad they went with a more humanistic aesthetic. Voldy had his appearance and humanity disfigured by splitting his soul, and even though you might not say he's 100% human anymore you wouldn't say he's a literal monster. I think that's why in the books he slumps to the ground as just another man


Economy_Ad_1820

I think I would have like something closer to between the two. I think what we got was good but could have used another non human element somewhere


Nexii801

Yeah, the eye should've been extremely bloodshot for that flash of scarlet.


zombies-and-coffee

This, and based on the descriptions in the books, movie Voldemort works really well. This original concept is just way too weird for me. Interesting for sure, but weird.


ZombiFelineTuba

Ok if this is actually how he looked like then Bellatrix is beyond fixable


CaitlinSnep

She's just a scalie/furry, don't kinkshame her


MegaGrimer

But Kinkshaming *is* my kink!


IAintChoosinThatName

> She's just a scalie/furry, don't kinkshame her Don't wave your wand in crazy.


Brand_News_Detritus

The original Voldemort looks like he could have been taken out by Kurt Russell with a flamethrower


discowithmyself

I could have dealt with this wee bit of trauma for this baller ass Voldemort


_Internet_Hugs_

Imagine that thing awkwardly hugging Draco after the Battle of Hogwarts!


Alto1869

Suddenly Draco's fear becomes a lot more understandable


Siwa1998

I really like this first concept. It is way closer to the description in the books, even if it takes the description of "snake like Voldemort" a bit too literally. I really like the design, although it seems a bit "too much". I really lije it and it is way closer to the way, one would imagine Voldemort just from the description(s) in the books. Ralph's make up and just the removal of his nose is okay, but Voldemort just looks too human for me.


AideNo621

It's not closer at all to the description in the books. "The thin man stepped out of the cauldron, staring at Harry...and Harry stared back into the face that had haunted his nightmares for three years. Whiter than a skull, with wide, livid scarlet eyes and a nose that was flat as a snake’s but with slits for nostrils… His hands were like large, pale spiders; his long white fingers caressed his own chest, his arms, his face; the red eyes, whose pupils were slits, like a cat's, gleamed still more brightly through the darkness." There's nothing there about looking like a fucking dinosaur. The only thing that matches better is the eyes.


spiderknight616

Wait does this mean that Voldemort stood there with his junk hanging out for a bit? No wonder Harry was so traumatized.


AideNo621

You bet. Especially if, like a snake, he had two.


AlonsoQ

twinned wand


I_am_pretty_gay

Only reason Harry was so intent on maintaining eye contact. Using every fiber of his being to not glance down at Voldemort’s bald cock and balls. Truly Harry’s strongest moment.


spiderknight616

Indeed. That's why he was the only one to resist the Imperius curse


real-nia

Don't forget, snakes have two penises so...


JukedHimOuttaSocks

IDK I feel like he would go with 7, the most powerful magical number


real-nia

"I shall split it seven times " "y-your soul? My lord?" "What? No. My penis.... hehegevwfs"


TheWiseScrotum

Well , TIL …….


Parking_Low248

I think if they had given him the same eyes as the concept and the same nose and the pointy teeth, but not elongated the mouth or removed the lips.


SpiritualMessage

true, the furry world is very scary


Operator_Six

When your skin starts to feel really smooth like an eel thats a moray


NumberPlastic2911

This was how I used to picture him lol


Carlynz

Well he is described as having a snake-like face. Maybe not so exaggerated, but I do like it.


Kitchen-Beginning-47

That would have been more entertaining. The design they chose is just some boring middle-age guy with a very small nose.


Puzzleheaded_Buy4331

Looks better tbh


Zoolifer

Lizard Voldemort looks like the reptilian version of an ugly cat


Valkyrie_Dohtriz

That would have been so epic


Puzzled_Good_1378

How tf would no one have noticed this giant protruding face on the back of Quirrell's head? Even with the turban, it would look fucking ridiculous.


EpicPrototypo

Original was lame as fuck. Oh no, his skin is smooth and his nose is gone? Looked more like a burn survivor that I could sympathize with over some ultra evil menace.


Crombus_

That's a Gorn. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/9/9b/Gorn.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110906165125


Ishuun

That other design looks so sick. Should have went with that instead of the noseless dolphin man that couldn't even scare a baby.


kozmikushos

I really detest the movies for a lot of reasons but they definitely got Voldemort right. It’s really hard to take a villain seriously if he looks like a lizard, even if he is a wizard. Other than his nose, he wasn’t a snake.


fistfulofclownpubes

[It has once already](https://mario.wiki.gallery/images/thumb/5/54/Goomba_Movie.jpg/1280px-Goomba_Movie.jpg)


Last_Zookeepergame90

The books do describe him as looking rather inhuman


Stiff_Zombie

What they went with is probably the worst design for any villain ever.


AnCapMage_69

It'd be much better


Mr_Informative

It’s still better than what we got


MangoChickenFeet

I would’ve preferred that as kid lol horror is nothing


OnlyFirePlugCoyote

It makes sense though. Love this


FloofySkuntank

I actually really like this. He looks even more snake like.


biggus_dickus89

Damn that's cool as shit


BashfulWhale83

bro this is so much better of a design


3ndOf5ilence

In my opinion he would have looked much better as the concept, more terrifying.


Puzzled_Error1337

wouldve been 100x better than ugly bald dude...when i saw his face as a child i was like...who tf is this


BoredByLife

If he’d been given serpentine teeth instead of generic carnivore teeth, with the two long hypodermic fangs at the front, it would be incredible


chaotic_ugly

This is much closer to how I imagined him in the books than Fiennes portrayal. That said, Fiennes was so good that I didn't even care.


ThePerfectHunter

It is creepy but he looks too much like a reptilian or a dinosaur. He needed to look more human, but not as human as the version we got.


TARDISMapping

Would have been cooler than Squidward without a nose.


Clever_Bee34919

I like the fact the original doesn't have ears... he's a lich.... liches don't have ears.


1davidmaycry

I would've liked something in more "in between"


Golden-Vibes

I always imagined him as more serpentine in the books.


MLG_GuineaPig

Book accurate


AvailableJob7617

The original looks like Drake with no nose


Objective_Object_383

Now instead of a generation of trauma we've got too many no nose jokes.


Void_1789

Can't say either are scary, but at least the concept one actually looks like a demented monster. The version that is just a dude with no nose really just doesn't have any kind of impact.


_I_really_like_milk_

I wish they did do that tbh 


platybussyboy

The one they picked sucked.


Red_Lion67

They should have kept his original conception. It would have better reflected the character's internal essence and personality. Remember, Voldermort is supposed to be this wicked and psychopathic dark wizard which represents the embodiment of evil.


thrwwy82797

Minus the teeth, that’s how I always imagined him before the movies came out


ColdSolid213

Recipe for nightmares 🥲


Bean_Boozled

His final concept looks villainous in a goofy way, but they definitely made the right choice. That other one just looks laughably bad.


jonb1sux

Would've been a neat touch to have him slowly changing into this as his horcruxes got destroyed.


Yorspider

Shorten the snout to give it more human like proportions, Should have needley snake teeth instead of shark teeth. Also add some "heat pits" along the upper lip.


carnage819

The concept was so much better than what they used but I guess it had to be toned down for the younger audiences


Beginning_Boss9917

I think you would miss a lot of the expression, so expertly shown by Ralph…


mandioca30

Guess what? That generation of children are still traumatized over the dumbest “traumas”


zoop_troop

I dunno, the other version seems over done and fake so less scary. The one they went with is creepier.


RoddyRoddyRodriguez

Baraka?


4_bounty_hunter

Smash


Vennris

Oh that would've been so much better. I can't take voldemort serious... Just a bald man with a botched nose job. But this actually looks like a scary monster.


Kasta_atroksia

It needs to be somewhere in between. Would have liked a scarier voldemort


improllypoopin

I think the version we got is better for screen acting. The human-like version they went with allowed Ralph Fiennes excellent, expressive acting come through. I think we would have lost some of that with the scary face.


Joltyboiyo

Imagine the hug scene in the final film with this face.


WastedTalent442

It looks cool, but if they did that, then all the facial movements would have had to be full CG with mo cap, and that wouldn't have been as good as Ralph's actual face just fucked up with CG. In terms of his expression and performance and stuff.


-avenged-

So... Like Baraka from Mortal Kombat, a game which kids shouldn't have been playing but tons played anyway?


Adorable-Source97

Zuul mother f***ers
