[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Brits Only Restrictions/LOTR raves

Dawn said: And will you guys post it here (or upload it to the files
section) so 
we can all see it?  Please, pretty please.  :)

Well it turns out someone at The Leaky Cauldron has done it for me, so
that saves me the trouble of fulfilling my promise, which leaves me
more time to start/finish my homework. *sigh*

Robson Green = Sirius: too boyish cute
Ewan McGregor = Lupin: might be busy with Star Wars, and I just can't
see it. Actually, my Lupin looks like Cicero from Gladiator (Max's
Scottish servent) but without the scars.
Gary Oldman = Moody: one word - no! Is no way old enough, and the
make-up he'd need to look all scarred would put him off. I've seen the
perfect actor, but I can't remember what his name is or what he's been
in and it's so frustrating!
Sean Bean = Sirius: he looks the part in LOTR from the ads
Viggo Mortenson = Sirius: definitely not Lupin, but a very convincing
Sirius, but maybe not for anyone who's seen LOTR
Colin Firth = anyone: just no. I can't see him fitting in as Lupin or
Sirius.

Okay, so all the girls (and maybe a few guys) agree that Sean
Biggerstaff aka. Oliver Wood is dead gorgeous, but what about the
Slytherin Seeker? He wasn't half bad either.

Back onto CoS, any casting news regarding Tom Riddle? He'd have to look
like Dan Radcliffe, but still look evil a bit. Hmm...drawing a blank.

I actually went to see HP1 again yesterday (3rd viewing), and I didn't
enjoy it at all. Maybe it was to do with the 30-y/o cow behind who kept
kicking the seat, but still, I laughed at some of the jokes that were
still funny, and I sympathised and empathised in some of the right
places, but y'know what? As soon as Firenze arrived, I busied myself
with me phone (on silent) because that is just the WORST scene of the
entire movie. Voldemort/Quirrell has swept away very creepily, which is
cool, after DR's 'dramatic' pain in the scar (not convincing IMO) and
then Firenze turns up *cringe*. BAD GRAPHICS! I thought they totally
screwed up the Bloody Baron's appearance, but Firenze was taller than
Hagrid! That's just not on! And then Dan stumbled through his lines
about Voldemort (no offence to him, he's great in other scenes, and
maybe it's just the effect of acting against nothing but air). I did
notice Dumbeldore a bit more, and I thought he was absolutely almost
perfect in the hospital scene (as most of you seem to agree) but I
didn't think he was that friendly in the Mirror of Erised scene;
actually, I thought Harris struggled through those lines too!

Ah well, now I must go back to hoping for a brief flash of imagination
like JKR was blessed with. *sigh*
