Rowan Atkinson is to take a role in the fourth Harry Potter movie, reports indicate today.

The actor, best known for playing the hapless Mr. Bean, will become evil personified in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, due for a 2005 release.

Atkinson would be the first human incarnation of Voldemort who, up until now, has only been seen in spirit form.

Filming on the fourth movie will begin in April, two months ahead of the third film release on June 4.
