I agree 100% on the SPEW bit--out the window!  Too bad we need Winky
for plot development.  I think we have to leave SOME fluff in ever
ybook, or else average-joe movie viewers will be bored to tears!

As you may have noticed, this list is a sister group to the much larger
book-based discussion group, HPforGrownups.  Most of the members here
are members over at the main group & have read the books.  We haven't
enforced spoilers on the main group since approximately 6 weeks after
the release of GoF, the 4th book.  I don't think it would be possible to
expect to enforce any spoilers on this list for that reason. People
simply aren't used to using them, and this list won't be any exception.
It would be far too hard to administratively enforce that sort of
rule.  I hope you won't take this as unwelcoming, but I do believe that
you are in the distinct minority in waiting to read each book after the
release of the movie, Shelagh.  I would also point out that even simple 
matters like fantasy casting calls for future movies will undoubtedly 
contain spoilers for you if you haven't read the rest of the books.

I would, however, like to remind everyone to keep their subject headings
relevant.  This is an integral List Rule on the main group, and I think
it will help Shelagh's concerns as well.  Shelagh can perhaps avoid
messages with subject headings that look suspiciously like spoilers.

You must have amazing self-control, Shelagh.  <g>

Happy New Year everyone!

And I would hate to think of them not having the scene where Harry gets
caught in the trick step and Snape almost catches him in the invisibility
cloak.  I just read that part last night (just completed Book 4) and could
imagine how great it would be in the movie (so suspenseful (sp?) for those
not familiar with the book).

Maybe its just me, but I just think the bath scene needs to be in there
(just for that moment alone).

Actually, I was going to put something to that very effect (about me 
being in the minority) in the post but had some trouble with the 
wording. <g> 

I do realize I'm in the minority and thought it very kind that folks 
immediately included spoiler warnings on their posts after my 
request. 
I don't take it as unwelcoming at all. I understand how time 
consuming list management can be. And especially how hard it can be 
for the listmoms to keep things fair.

That sort of thing didn't bother me in the slightest. I'm actually 
intrigued about the characters people are already suggesting casting 
for. <g>
What was frustrating was reading about the death of a character I 
haven't even heard of yet.

Are you kidding?! My car keeps steering itself to the bookstores and 
my feet to the Harry Potter sections of any that I find myself in! <g>
My fingernails are now nearly non-existent besides. ;->

No doubt I'll be buying all the books shortly and making myself even 
crazier having them in the house.

(I've been forcing myself not to re-read LOR in order to not be 
overly judgmental about the movies, for that matter. Slowly reading 
FotR right now since I've seen that one four times already. Maybe 
I'll just go back and forth on PS/SS and FotR between now this time 
next year, eh? <g>)

Happy New Year to you as well, Penny! 

And thanks for the response!
(btw, Harry Potter is now officially #13 on the list of all time US

Hi everyone. I am a 26-year old Harry Potter fan from North Carolina. 
I was wondering if anyone had a copy of the Dateline/Katie Couric

I can't quite agree with your assessment of Sir Ian McKellan. He's 
one of the great actors of the last 30 years, and I think he would be 
well up to the task of Dumbledore, should the ocassion arise. In 
fact, I think he might be quite nice.

I read at the IMDB listing for HPPS/SS that they'd originally asked

I agree that Haley is a talented young actor, but I seriously doubt I 
could have seen him as Harry. He's just too...... dark, if you take

A teeny tiny article came out stating that Chris Columbus...well...read
for yourself since it's so short:

Hot People: Wizard! It's Harry Five 

   HARRY Potter director CHRIS COLUMBUS has
   ordered draft scripts for films FOUR and FIVE. 

   Warner Brothers have agreed a deal with author JK
   ROWLING for the movies, due out in 2005 and made
   from Book 4 The Goblet Of Fire. 

Now...I'm reading this as they plan to make two movies out of book 4. I
honestly think that will be the only way to do the book justice, set
it's a pivotal book in the series and sets up the rest of the books.

I was going to post this on OT-Chatter where the thread originated, 
but as it concerns only casting for the PoA Harry Potter movie, I 
thought it best to move it over here.

OK, ladies.  As self-appointed head caster for PoA, I say Viggo has 
to get the nod for Lupin, not Black.  Hose him down and clean him up, 
and I think he'd be a great Lupin.  Very wolfy.  Viggo may be 
naturally sexy, but we can tone that sexiness down with florescent 
lighting.

I agree that Viggo could play Black, but Black is a *lot* easier to 
cast that Lupin, and Lupin is more important because he has more 
scenes.  Let's not waste Viggo on Black.

As for the guy who played Boromir?  Nope, he's out.  He can work for 
the caterer, but he can't have an acting role in PoA.

ROFL! You know, I saw some photos on the internet of him "hosed down and 
cleaned up", and they did _nothing_ for me.  So maybe so--although that 
would be wasting a great Sirius, IMO!

How do you figure Black is easier to cast?  So far nobody that's been 
"officially" suggested has worked for me.  But when I saw FotR--I knew he 
was the one!  I had thought Colin Firth for Sirius at first.  But now I 
could see him as Lupin.  He got extremely thin for "Bridget Jones's Diary"; 
he could play starving and poor, I think.  He also does "vaguely worried" 
very well, and "having a secret and needing to keep quiet about it".  Then 
he would have the capacity to get sexy if he ever needed to.  I can also see 
him confronting Sirius at first, ready to protect Harry & Co if necessary; 
but then accepting the truth very quickly and ready to kill Peter.


>As for the guy who played Boromir?  Nope, he's out.  He can work for

Ha!  Exactly my thought!  Although, if we ever see Crabbe or Goyle (the 
grown-up DE's, not the kids still at school) he might make a good one of 
those.

Also, can we get the Black Riders to play dementors?  But can we lay off 
that awful screeching sound?

And if Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, et al could look three feet tall, why 
couldn't Professor Flitwick look like Willow instead of a goblin?

Ack, ack, I thought of him a week ago (even posted somewhere in
OT-Chatter--to which no one responded, DARN!) when someone said
something about Lupin's character that reminded me of Mr. Darcy. 
Colin Firth has a very pensive look about him (*The Look* via Pride
and Prejudice), but somehow I see him as his best in roles with
romantic implications (which seems to be well-exhausted in
fanfic)--it'd be interesting to see him in angsty role for a child
(more father-figure esque) rather than "I'm so utterly in love with
you" roles.

Subject: Newbie musings : Casting, Brit restrictions and GoF cuts.
Message-ID: <a104f4+k02s@eGroups.com>

For the last month or so I have been a full time lurker but now its 
time to put some ideas forward. Apologies for length of post and also 
if it breaks any rules. 

This first bit is a little O.T. but there is a point  promise. Just 
got back from London New Year celebrations where I escorted a tour 
group. So instead of freezing in Trafalguar Square for six hours I 
went to see a production of the Royal Family with Judi Dench and this 
has only helped fuel my obssesion of not being able to watch or read 
anything without casting future H.P. projects. The Royal Family 
offered up another couple of possibilities, to add to an already 
large pile. So here goes, in no particular order.

Peter Pettigrew - I found it surprising that people considered Alan 
Cumming for the part of Lockhart, Pettigrew is the role he could do 
in his sleep. And therein lies the problem, he seems to have moved 
away from his wimpish roles, Circle of Friends, and with the success 
of Cabaret and Hamlet is seeking more leading roles. So he may not be 
interested.
Back up - Paul Whitehouse, well we have already got one Fast Show 
alumni in the shape of Arthur Weasley so who knows. Sorry don't think 
he's been in any films.

Professor Trelawney - I've had great fun with this one. First 
consideration to played younger or older? Both can be argued. Younger 
how about Juliet Stevenson (Truly, Madly, Deeply) or from The Royal 
Family Harriet Walter(She was the bitchy sister-in-law in Sense and 
Sensibility)? If older Elizabeth Spriggs, sorry no film roles spring 
to mind. If Miriam M is Professor Sprout then E.S. would also be a 
perfect choice for Aunt Marge.

Mad eye Moody - Some of these are going to seem way out of left 
field. When I first read the book I kept picturing Michael Caine, 
yeah I know its daft but with make up. Anyway not practical as M.C. 
and Richard Harris absolutely LOATHE one another. My favourite 
contender at the moment is Jim Broadbent (Moulin Rouge, Gangs of New 
York, Iris) Forget what you've seen in him which is usually comedic, 
he is a terrfic actor with a great range. Or if you wanted to go for 
truly terrifying as witnessed in Sexy Beast, Ben, sorry that's now 
Sir Ben Kingsley.  

Lupin and Sirius - To my mind the whole casting decision hangs around 
Alan Rickman. Some people on this list have been stating their 
dislike of the actor cast as Harry's father. But to my mind he looks, 
age wise, that he could have been at school with A.R. If they had 
originally cast Tim Roth then they could have gone younger but now 
they need to go older, which makes the rumour of Ewan McGregor seem 
odd. The suggestions from this list of Anthony Stewart Head seem 
good. What that would mean for the casting of Sirius is anybody's 
guess. However if they go younger for Lupin how about Toby Stephens 
sorry no film roles, loads of British telly though and Maggie Smith's 
son to boot. Usually cast as fops but could do Lupin IMO. As a side 
comment his role in the Royal Family was Lockhart to tee but old 
Kenny B's got that role.

Leading on from this is the issue of Brits only casting. Not that I 
am 100% in favour of it but here are what I believe to be some of the 
arguments for keeping that restriction.

Hollywood has a notorious history for screwing things up. If you are 
not from the U.K. you will not know how poor old Dick Van Dyke is 
derided for his "cockney" accent. "Cor blimey, Mary Poppins" a whole 
generation of people think thats how cockneys' talk and the whole 
East-end of London has not forgotten. Sometimes the sheer presence of 
a performer can get around the linguistic massacre of a particular 
British accent one thinks of Audrey Hepburn. But the Brits can be 
most unforgiving. Although when they get it right we can be very 
impressed i.e. Renee Zellweger. 

There has been a lot of use of the phrase "best person for the part" 
and whilst ideal is not neccessarily what we would get. I have a 
feeling although not based on any fact, that if J.K. had given C.C. a 
little more leeway for the smaller parts the whole production would 
have been crawling with C.C.'s best mates. Somewhere in P.S/S.S. 
there would have been an appearance by Robin Williams. Can you 
imagine? Even now with this so called restriction celebs are still 
being vocal about getting parts and if allowed it would become the 
filmic version of Sesame Street with A list cameos galore. It would 
kill it dead.

There are so many great Britsih actors who you will never of even 
heard of but it will be better to cast them as they will bring no 
baggage to role whilst at the same time being a great opportunity for 
their career. Another opinion based on no facts whatsoever, if C.C. 
stays I belive J.K. will become more lenient because she was very 
vocal about her support for him. If the director changes the guard 
will go up again and she will vigorously defend her creation and 
Brits only is one way of doing that.

Finally GoF cuts. My suggestions are slightly different to those 
already aired. Rita Skeeter could be cut completly. Harry and 
Hermione could still appear in the Daily Prophet but by no means have 
such a large sub plot. And with regard to the Q.W.C. there is too 
much plot to cut and too much interseting detail. I think they should 
still go but never get to see the match because the D.E.s start 
mixing things earlier on. This would still allow plenty of reference 
to Krum. For those of you arguing for Winky to be cut IMO too pivotal 
to the plot.

That's it, I'm done. I'm off back to lurking.

Marcus.

Great ideas.

Yes, that was my original casting. But isn't Pettigrew described as 
being somewhat fat?

How about Emma Thompson? She could have lots of fun with Trelawney. 
And if they leave her scenes with McGonagall in the script, that 
would be such a delight.

Easy practical solution then - Harris out, Caine in. ;-) Works 
wonders for me.
I so much want Michael Caine to be in that movie. He could be Moody, 
or Fudge, or even Crouch Senior.
Any chance to get Sean Connory for Moody? Probably not.

Did you notice all the references about James Potter and Snape being 
in school together were carefully removed from the movie? Could be 
time limitations, could be more than that.

Asunto: [HPFGU-Movie] Chris Columbus orders scripts for movie 4 and 5
  
A teeny tiny article came out stating that Chris Columbus...well...read
for yourself since it's so short:

Hot People: Wizard! It's Harry Five  

   HARRY Potter director CHRIS COLUMBUS has
   ordered draft scripts for films FOUR and FIVE.  

   Warner Brothers have agreed a deal with author JK
   ROWLING for the movies, due out in 2005 and made
   from Book 4 The Goblet Of Fire.  

Now...I'm reading this as they plan to make two movies out of book 4. I
honestly think that will be the only way to do the book justice, set
it's a pivotal book in the series and sets up the rest of the books.

The article is posted here:
http://www.people.co.uk/shtml/FEATURES/P15S2.shtml  

Take care
-Katze
     
    Helena Says :  
         I?ve read on TIME magazine that the fourth book could be a 5 hours lasting movie. The director , Chris Columbus said that " Children who where able to read a 700 page book would be able to watch a 5 hours movie ". I think 5 hours is over the limits of a human being , though I wouldn?t like the movie to be divided in two parts. He said : " One would be premiered on Thanksgiving and the other one for Christmas ". Well , maybe this way we could go and watch both at the movies on a single day.

I saw the post you refer to, so my idea really wasn't original.  At the time 
I wasn't converted to the "Colin Firth as Lupin" camp, so I ignored it, 
thinking it impolite to flame. :)  However, I have now seen the light and 
stand solidly behind you!

Wasn't "The Look" in Pride & Prejudice enough to melt you?  I'm thinking 
specifically about the scene where his sister is playing the piano and 
Elizabeth is turning the pages of the music for her; he's sitting on the 
couch watching her.

As good an actor as he is, I would still be looking out for a love interest 
somewhere.

And on that topic, does it seem like there's a shortage of available women 
in the wizarding world?  The women teachers are older ladies (McGonagall, 
Madame Hooch in the movie--don't remember how she was described in the 
books) or complete twits (Trelawney).  The only women I can remember who 
aren't teachers are Mrs. Weasley (married, obviously) and Rita Skeeter 
(unsuitable for a variety of reasons).

Those of you who want Snape to have a love interest (which IMO would totally 
ruin his character, but to each his own ship...), do you have any 
candidates?  Let alone Sirius, who totally deserves a good relationship, or 
Lupin, who probably will never trust himself far enough to get close to a 
woman, but that's another topic.

Hi, first off i'm a new member of this group so I'm not really sure
if this is the correct place to post this. Anyway, I stumbled across
this article in The Daily Prophet about PS/SS (www
.dprophet.com/movies.html) and I found the bit about the casting of
Daniel Radcliffe very strange. 

Specifically with this part when the article says :
"Radcliffe", not surprisingly, soon surfaced in connection with the
last name of Columbus. Daniel Radcliffe's mother is a professional
casting agent who's worked with Chris Columbus on three of his past
projects, including Home Alone. Daniel's father is a predominant
literary agent, and the Harry Potter film's executive producer.
Funny; J.K. Rowling wanted an anonymous British schoolboy, and
instead she got the adolescent male version of Tori Spelling -
stealing film roles from perfectly capable actors, simply because
Daddy has connections. 

Anyway, I checked out IMDB for the name of the executive producer of
HPSS which was Mark Radcliffe but wasn't Daniel Radcliffe's father
Alan Radcliffe? Is Mark related to Daniel in anyway?

And a search for Marcia Gresham turned up only 2 movies which she was
casting director for : The Wyvern Mystery and Warriors, both of which
were TV movies and none were directed by Chris Columbus...did I get
the right Marcia Gresham?

So I guess the question I'm asking is, is The Daily Prophet article
correct(which means Daniel Radcliffe is the new Tori Spelling)or
not(which means I can sigh with relief)?

Thanks for any help and answers. ( Sorry about the length of the
post... can't think of any shorter way)

Until I see someone else play Pettigrew onscreen, I won't be able to 
picture anyone but David Bamber, as he played Mr. Collins in 
BBC/A&E's "Pride & Prejudice," as Peter Pettigrew.  Tubby, balding, 
slimy, obnoxiously obsequious ~ egad, other than the fact that Mr. 
Collins wasn't evil, he *was* Pettigrew.

And speaking of "P&P," I was also one of those who cried "hear, 
hear!" to the previous application of Colin Firth to the role of 
Lupin.  Mmm-mm good!  :-)

And for the record, I would give a thumbs down to Viggo as Lupin, and 
possibly even Black.  My opinion is that Viggo has zip in the way of 
charisma, and that both roles *need* someone with charisma (this is 
based on Viggo in "A Perfect Murder" and LotR).  Black, imho, needs 
less ~ he's a bit more savage, more reactionary, less subtle, which I 
think Viggo could possibly pull off.  But still, I think someone else 
would be better.  And since he's not British, no problema.  I 
actually like Robert Carlyle ("The Full Monty") or, oooh, maybe Rufus 
Sewell or James Purefoy ("Knight's Tale") for Black.

Micheal Caine would be good, but I'd rather keep Richard Harris as 
Dumby than loose him for Caine.  If Jeremy Brett was still alive, 
he'd be fabulous as Moody, imho.  Alas.  How about Derek Jacobi?

All righty, then, this would be my cast list of miscelleneous uncast 
characters so far:

Aunt Marge: Alison Steadman (played Mrs. Bennett in the 
aforementioned "Pride & Prejudice.")
Remus Lupin:  Colin Firth
Sirius Black:  Rufus Sewell
Peter Pettigrew:  David Bamber
Prof. Trelawney:  Emma Thompson
Cedric Diggory:  Orlando Bloom (with "Black Hawk Down" hair ~ dark 
buzz/crew cut)

Mad-Eye Moody:  Derek Jacobi
Olympe Maxime: Judi Dench
Viktor Krum: Johnny Lee Miller (if he'd buff up a bit, of course :-P)

And I shall cast Cate Blanchett as the rumored future female DADA 
teacher.  Regardless of the fact that 1) I know nothing about the 
character yet, and 2) Blanchett is Australian.  Because I adore Cate 
Blanchett.

We can dream, but those scenes will probably be sacrificed to save

Thank you, thank you! :-) I was looking desperately for a role for

Steven Fry as Ludo Bagman? What about a role for Hugh Laurie?

I don't know about the connection with Columbus, but I do recall 
reading that there was an industry connection between Radcliffe's 
parents and higher-ups in the movie's production group.  

However, I gathered that Columbus et al picked out Radcliffe 
initially, and JKR later stated that seeing a tape of Radcliffe was 
like meeting her long lost son, but that regardless of connections 
his parents were extremely wary of letting him be in the movie.  It 
sounded like if connections came into play, it had more to do with 
being acquainted enough with the senior Radcliffes enough to be able 
to approach them and say "please?  We reeeeeeally want him to try for 
this part."

And for the record, I can't actually see where any comparison between 
Daniel Radcliffe and Tori Spelling is valid at all.  Specifically, 
Radcliffe *can* act.  Going from "Radcliffe's parents are in the 
industry" to "oooh, Radcliffe only got the part because of daddy's 
connections even though he can't act, how Tori Spelling of him" ~ 
that's a leap worthy of the late great Evel Knieval!  :-P

That's the impression I got from the press coverage, too.  And don't forget what 
a struggle it was to find Harry.  Months of auditions, thousands of other boys 
tested and rejected, and at least one key casting staff quit in exasperation, plus 
by the time the Radcliffes agreed to let Dan take the role, it was getting close to 
panic time for Columbus --  the rest of the cast had been chosen and filming was 
about to begin!

But of course that whole saga might be the daydream of the same press agent 
who told us that Dan's birthday was July 31, LOL!

Tori Spelling???
I wish I could remember where I read it, but Columbus stated in a press
release that "When Daniel walked into the room, we all knew  we had
found our Harry."  I've posted before, singing young Radcliffe's praises
to the sky, and today is no exception.  Having read SS/PS, and found it
to be a very good book, I was mildly interested in seeing the movie.  (I
went primarily because my daughter wanted to see it.) But when I had
left the theater, I stood with the converted.  Within the first ten
minutes of the story, I turned to my husband and said, "Look at that
kid...he's positively luminous!"
As JKR has attested herself, Daniel Radcliffe was the young actor out of
the masses who most captured Harry's gentleness of spirit.  Having seen
him in live interviews/appearances, I am inclined to believe that he is
neither spoiled nor savvy in that jaded, Hollywood way. His parents may
have some connections, but I doubt that such a plum role would have gone
to anyone who didn't deserve it, regarless of connections.
As to his ability to grow in the role as it becomes a bit edgier - I've
posted before that I think he has the chops for it!

Mary - who, like Rosie O'Donnell, would love to take polite young Dan to
Great Adventure and put him on a rollercoaster.

I'd take this with a grain of salt. The interview that Rosie O'Donnell
had with the actual Daniel gave a different impression (I'm working on
the transcript of the show and will have it finished soon). His parent
were tentative for him going up for the part, because they didn't want
him to be disappointed, but I got the impression that they are very
reasonable folks. I also don't think Columbus would be willing to work
with unreasonable or overly demanding people after his experience with
Culkin in the Home Alone movies. 

My personal viewpoint is that Dan actually has some talent, where Tori
Spelling does not. I think Daniel is young, so he might stammer a
smidge, but that comes with practice, and I think we'll see great things
from him in the future. That's my hope at least.

The article definitely confused Mark Radcliffe with Dan's mom. I 
remember someone had asked before if Mark is related to Daniel. The 
answer is no. Mr. Mark Radcliffe is a pure red-blooded American. 
>From what I read, the producer indeed knew Dan's father from work, 
but Columbus didn't know him, and wanted Dan from the beginning. 
Besides, like many other posts pointed out, Dan's parents were 
reluctant to let Dan attend audition even when the producer expressed 
his interest. They asked him to meet Dan first, simply just to talk, 
to see if he would change his mind. I got an impression that they 
were trying their best to protect their son but meanwhile be careful 
not blocking his fate, and because of their knowledge about this 
industry, they succeeded.
Finally, sing my praise to Dan too. In my opinion, he is the best 
among young actors in this film. He can act in a very subtle, 
realistic but very moving way. He also has a natural charm. He is 
Harry Potter.

Ooh, excellent choices! I'm definately with you on David Bamber and 
Rufus Sewell, though I'd have to disagree on a couple - how about: 

Aunt Marge: Julie T Wallace (played Ruth in The Live & Loves of She 
Devil)

Olympe Maxime: Miriam Margolyes (think she'd be so much better here 
than Professor Sprout - can just imagine her purring 
"Dumbleedore...") 

And "Dang!" (though in the nicest possible way) to the person who 
mentioned the Colin Firth "look." Now all I can think about is lakes

Haha.  You know, I was just watching that movie last week and all I 
kept htinking each time I saw him on the screen was, "He'd be great 
as Pettigrew."  I could hardly see him as Mr. Collins.  :)  He'd be 
perfect!

Yes, I can see him being Lupin.  Not Sirius.  But, I don't know that 
I see him turning into a werewolf well.  But I really don't know who 
else can play Lupin.

I think she'd be marvelous as Trelawney.

I'd rather see her play Mrs. Figg.

> Sirius Black:  Rufus Sewell

Oh, interesting choice.  Yeah, I think he'd do well.  I just remember 
his looks in Hamlet and they were pretty good.  I think he could pull 
off harried and vengeful.

> Olympe Maxime: Judi Dench

Oh.. that's something I didn't think of.  But I kind of picture 
Maxime a little younger.  And perhaps they can look into actually 
getting a French actress to play her.  Any suggestions?

> Viktor Krum: Johnny Lee Miller 

Haha... a thought just entered my mind of it being too bad that 
Arnold Schwartzenegger (I know my spelling is atrocious) isn't young 
enough.  He'd certainly have a great accent for it.  So then I got a 
thought of having him play Karkaroff, but I just don't see it.  He 
always plays save-the-day type heros, and that Karkaroff certainly is 
not.  Anyway... don't mind me.  Just thinking out loud.

I don't know...might work, ('cause he's dead sexy) but I always pictured
Sean Bean in the role.  Think about it - he could really bring out
Lupin's desperate intensity, and has those rangy good looks that the
character requires.  Besides, I want to see him play a good guy!

Cool!  I think Emma's probably dying to do a role that lets her chew the
scenery guilt-free. Don't you agree that she's ready to do something
nice and loopy?

Hi all,
Im a Newbie to the list and I hope that the question I am about to 
pose has not been pondered before.  I did not notice in the FAQ.

Anyhow, how to the topic --
In the movie, when Hermione is showing Harry how he cant possibly be 
bad at Quidditch since its in his blood, we see a plaque with "JAMES 
POTTER - Seeker" on it.  And, unless I am mistaken (i have seen the 
movie more times than I would like to admit!), the plaque says 
GRYFFINDOR at the top.  From reading the books, especially PoA, I
have 
come to the conclusion that James was not in Gryffindor, but 
was actually a Slytherin.  

Anyone else have thoughts on this?
(I hope I posted this question to the correct list!)
Cheers!
Jenny

Welcome, Jenny!
And no, James was in Gryffindor, according to the lexicon.  The plaque
from the movie is innaccurate, though.  In the book, James was a chaser.

-Mary, who is a reletive newbie too.

Hi there. Newbie decloaking to add my 2 knuts to the casting ideas.

BBC/A&E's "Pride & Prejudice," as Peter Pettigrew. Tubby, balding, 
slimy, obnoxiously obsequious ~ egad, other than the fact that Mr. 
Collins wasn't evil, he *was* Pettigrew. 
------

I can see that too, but I don't think Pettigrew should be tubby as 
such. He was described as having lost a lot of weight (from stress) 
by the time he transformed in the shreiking shack, so I think he 
should be skinny. I can't get Ewen Bremner (Spud from Trainspotting) 
out of my head, but I suppose he's too young. I'm with Marcuswh2001's 
second choice: Paul Whitehouse. 

Some others:

Madame Maxime: I didn't come up with this one, I think I read it in a 
newspaper, but I think she'd be perfect: Cher!

Rita Skeeter: Kathy Burke. Pics here if you don't know her: 
www.blue.uk.com/ kathy/gallery . Then again, maybe she'd be even 
better as Aunt Marge!

Remus Lupin: well, I've had my heart set on Ewan McGregor all along: 
he could just look so _wolfy_ with sideburns; but if I can't have him 
(I bet G Lucas won't let him do it anyway!) I'll settle for Colin 
Firth.

Sirius Black: this has been the hardest for me to visualise, as he's 
my favourite adult character, but I think Rufus Sewell looks okay. 
Viggo Mortensen just isn't Sirius for me.

Mad-Eye Moody: someone suggested him way back in the archive (no idea 
where, sorry) and that was when I realised that was who I'd been 
seeing all along: Frank Kelly, who plays Father Jack in Father Ted. 
There's a really Moody-ish picture around the middle of this page: 
http://www.father-ted.co.uk/pages/pictureg.html 

Cornelius Fudge: if you've seen the Vicar of Dibley, I think Gary 
Waldhorn, who plays David, can do the right mix of officiousness and 
bumbling for Fudge. My other choice, for a slightly more serious than 
comedic Fudge, is John Fortune. Plus, he already has experience of 
doing corrupt/misled politicians on Rory Bremner's show (though I 
can't stand Bremner!). This isn't a great picture, but it's the best 
I could find: 
http://www.davidpughltd.freeserve.co.uk/art/past_cast/mitchell_fortune
_campbell/john_fortune.htm 

And those are all I can think of for the moment.

Can I just say I'm immensely glad to have found this list (and the 
book one)! I've spent the last month  just trawling through the 
archives, feeling like Hermione must have felt when she first saw the 
Hogwarts library! :-D

Message-ID: <a13f9f+str6@eGroups.com>

Salut!

Since we're on the subject of Sirius casting, whatever happened to 
Jeff Hordley supposedly being up for the part?  I remember seeing on 
Leaky Cauldron that he mentioned being in talks for it on some 
interview show.

I have absolutely no clue who he is (although I've seen piccies), and 
I've no recollection of Emmerdale being on when I lived in London 
(although at the time I was too busy watching Brookside and 
Eastenders to care about any other shows).  So for those of you on 
that side of the pond, how do you rate him as an actor?  Could he be 
Sirius?  I can't help but picture him in the part, mostly because he 
was the first actor I saw actually attached to that particular 
casting rumor.  

One person I think I'd like to see as Sirius is James Purefoy.  Most 
may know him from A KNIGHT'S TALE with Heath Ledger.  He played the 
Prince, Edward, whom no one would fight with.  He was also in 
BEDROOMS & HALLWAYS with Jennifer Ehle of P&P fame.  Crap movie in my 
opinion, but damn - he's hot!  I think he's got the look for Sirius.  
So there's my vote.  Wouldn't mind seeing him act alongside Colin 
Firth :-)

Ewan McGregor?  Too boyish (i.e. young) looking I think to be taken 
seriously as one of Snape's former classmates.

Sorry, but according to this Empire Online interview with Columbus himself, the 
4-hour cut is a myth.

&cp=1

The most we can hope for is restoration of small scenes.  For instance, the boys 
who played Dudley and Neville have both alluded in interviews to scenes that 
didn't appear in the final movie.  And I believe that some of the previews and 
promotional stuff included shots and props that never made it to the screen 
(e.g., Harry's Weasley sweater).  But surely there's not an entire 90 minutes 
more of footage that was shot but not used -- they were on a very strict 
production schedule, just short of panic mode, and wouldn't have shot 60 
percent more than they needed.

    Helena Says :  
         I?ve read on TIME magazine that the fourth book could be a 5 hours lasting movie. The director , Chris Columbus said that " Children who where able to read a 700 page book would be able to watch a 5 hours movie ". I think 5 hours is over the limits of a human being , though I wouldn?t like the movie to be divided in two parts. He said : " One would be premiered on Thanksgiving and the other one for Christmas ". Well , maybe this way we could go and watch both at the movies on a single day.


Couldn't they do one 5 (or 6!) hour film, and show it with a break half way through - like I'm told they used to do?

I think the economics of the movie theatre business might well 
preclude this.  The revenue of an individual theatre depends in part 
on how often they can show a film in one day.  All things being 
equal, a theatre can make 2-3 times as much revenue on 90-
minute "Shrek" as on a 5-hour HP movie.  Also, a 5-hour HP movie will 
draw almost no repeat viewers, I would guess.

So would it be reasonable to expect movie patrons to shell out $16 
U.S. to sit through a 5-hour HP marathon?  I don't think so.  

The other thing that I wonder if Columbus and crew are considering is 
that the market for GoF might be substantially smaller than PS/SS and 
CoS.  The first two books are less dark and appeal to kids.  That 
means the adults go primarily to take their kids.  There are plenty 
of adults who went to the PS/SS movie just because they are fans, but 
based on what I saw at the cineplex, the youth market for the first 
movie was substantial.  Also, people have a natural tendency not to 
want to go see the fourth film in a series if they haven't seen the 
previous films.  So to the extent the HP movie series tries to 
transition from kids to adults, GoF might find that it has lost its 
core audience of kids and is at the mercy of many adults who haven't 
read the books or seen prior movies.

GoF will probably be rated PG-13 (and I assume it will be the first 
of the HP movies to pick up a PG-13 rating), which will also limit 
the potential market for the film.  LotR is instructive.  LotR is PG-
13, it is very well made and probably better than PS/SS, but it is 
taking in a fraction of the box office.  I think GoF will resemble 
LotR in terms of length and scariness and box-office draw, so the GoF 
filmmakers had best be mindful of this in deciding how much GoF movie 
they'd like to serve up.  

As for the adult appeal of a 5-hour GoF, I am quite confident that I 
would not go see any movie of that length, even an HP movie.  I think 
my limit is 3.5 hours, and I can't even think of a movie that I have 
seen that was longer than 3.0 hours (Schindler's List and LotR are at 
my limit).  Geez, I can't even imagine going into a theatre at noon 
and not getting out until 5 p.m. (later if there is an 
intermission).  I'd probably go into insulin shock from eating that 
many M&Ms.

Just my opinion, as always.

I sincerely doubt any child, no matter how big a fan of the books, 
would be able to sit - even with an intermission - through a five or 
six hour movie.

Besides, the ticket cost to cover such an event would probably be 
double normal prices, just to make sure the theatres and the film 
companies didn't lose money on such a project.

I don't think I'd have a problem with one movie at Thanksgiving and 
the other at Christmas, but based upon the current situation (which 
of course isn't necessarily what it would be three years from now) 
GoF part one might still be at theatres when GoF part two came out. 
Thus putting the first movie in competition with itself. 

Frankly, I think this prospect might damage the small brain cells of 
some producers.....

Subject: Casting rumours: Arthur Weasley & Professor Sprout article
Message-ID: <a14v9m+uelc@eGroups.com>

Hi all from KT in Seattle,

A little snippet I picked up on IMDB.com this morning:

Mark Williams is listed as playing Arthur Weasley on their cast list 
for CoS. Us Brits probably know him best as the second "Suits You!" 
character in BBC's "The Fast Show" (the other being Paul Whitehouse). 
Americans may recognise him in the same role in BBC 
America's "Brilliant" or as the exterminator in "The Borrowers" 
movie. I think he was also one of the incompetent puppy catchers 
in "101 Dalmations."

In addition, the following article on Miriam Margolyes (with several 
photos) is currently on the BBC News website, and mentions her 
casting as Professor Sprout:

That would make it quite difficult on the theatres, which hate really 
long films, as they aren't able to have as many showings, which makes 
sense, as admission is the same, whether the film is 90 minutes long 
or 2 hours and 45 minutes. With a 5 hour film, you'd only be able to 
have 2 showings a day, which would be a huge drop in income for the 
theatre owners.  Not that I'm a big fan of most movie theatre 
chains ...

I think releasing the film in 2 parts, about a month apart, is a 
pretty good compromise. It's better for the theatres, and we don't 
have to wait too long between parts 1 and 2.

They certainly could!  I saw Kenneth Branagh's "Hamlet" at the Paris Theatre here in NY when it first premiered, and it was a 4 1/2 hour film with an intermission.  And what a thrilling experience it was!

And can I say just how excited I am that Branagh is playing Lockhart in the next film?  Too perfect!

See, but then you have the choice of seeing it as a 5 hour movie with 
an intermission.  I think that if they release it at 2 different 
times, they'll see some really wierd box office reaction.  I wouldn't 
be surprised if people wait to see the first part with the second 
part.  And I would totally expect theaters to show their first and 
second part at times that would give people the option of going from 
part 1 to part 2 with a reasonable intermission.  They'll just also 
have to be strict on the security, to discourage theater hopping.  
Or, they could offer like a dollar off total admission if you 
purchase for both movies or something.

That thought never crossed my mind.  I always thought (and JKR has 
confirmed) that he was in Gryffindor.  But I'm curious.  I'd love to 
know what parts of the books led you to believe that James was a 
Slytherin.  I'm intrigued.  Could you list some scenes, lines, and/or

Okay- I know that there is a Brits only restriction, but I think it 
may be possible to make an exception for Tom Riddle. I need 
everyone's help with this one. I have a friend who would be perfect 
for the role of Tom Riddle. He looks like Harry Potter (he works in a 
bookstore and kids think he is Harry himself!), he is 17 (but looks 
more about 16), is tall and slim, and is an actor (okay- only school 
productions but he was damn good!) The only problem is that he is not 
British! However, he is very adept at picking up mannerisms, incuding 
accents. After about two weeks in Britain and a little work with a 
voice expert he would be just fine! 

He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area in California, USA.
If any of you know any possible auditions available, please let us 
know at SqueegeeJoe at hotmail.com or SqueegeeJoe at aol.com.
-Thanks a bunch and here's hoping he'll make it!

Message-ID: <20020105123601.10563.qmail@web14901.mail.yahoo.com>

This is a tiny article I found in the Dec/Jan LOTR edition of the
Cineworld magazine (I've copied this word for word, letter for letter,
so any mistakes are not mine):

"With 'Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone' finally in cinemas,
and 'Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets' already under way (and
with a release date set for November 2002) Chris Columbus  has been
chatting about the film, and got asked the big question - would he like
to be at the helm for all seven expected films. His reply? "My dream,
and it is truly a dream at this point, is to see all seven films
through and to see the same cast [in all seven]. In the Michael Apted
television documentaries, like "7-UP" and "28-UP", you see these kids
grow up from year to year. I think it would be interesting to see that
happen on screen with Daniel, Emma and Rupert.  If I could take three
months off between each picture, I could probably do it, but the
commitment to get them out once a year is very strong, in terms of the
hours. I don't know if I want to spend seven years away from my family.
But the idea of seeing seven Harry Potter films through is exciting to
me. As a fan of cinema, it would be great. I truly love the characters,
but maybe after I did three, I'd say, 'I think I've done enough'."

Make of that what you will.

Nicky

Message-ID: <20020105150425.97321.qmail@web14913.mail.yahoo.com>

I happen to agree with the majority that you can't really compare LOTR
with HP because they are entirely different books/movies with different
specifications. I also happen to agree with the majority that LOTR was
really the better-made movie.

I went into the theatre for both Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings
completely ignorant of the books. When I came out of Harry Potter, I
wanted to read the books and within 4 days I had. I found the books to
be rather like an extension of the movie. With LOTR, the movie is so
fantastically made I don't particularly want to read the books and have
my views and ideals changed; in fact, the only reason I'd read the
books is to get rid of this anxiety I have because the movie finished
on a cliffhanger.

Personally, I thought LOTR was by far the better film, spectacularly
made and laboured over by all those involved, whereas Harry Potter just
gave me a taster of the books, like an appetiser.

With that in mind, is LOTR really a bad movie, because it's so good it
detracts potential readers from the books?


On an entirely HP topic: I was watching Lara Croft this morning and I
suddenly had an idea - how about Iain Glen for Karfaroff? Iain Glen was
Mr. Powell in Tomb Raider. Sure, he needs a moustache but if the
make-up artists can turn Richard Harris and Robbie Coltrane into
hairballs, I'm sure a puny bit of facial hair won't be a hassle with
Glen.

Not having read CoS, I couldn't speculate on the age of the 
character, but I can say one very *good* reason for changing a 
character's name from Moaning to Miserable.

Moaning, in the world of adults, can have a very *very* sexual 
connotation and could very well end up as the subject of many many 
tasteless jokes.

That is a great deal better reason than any I can think of for 
changing the Forbidden Forest to the Dark Forest. Dumbledore USED 
to have lines like 'the Forbidden Forest is exactly that: forbidden' 
and 'there is a reason that it is called the Forbidden Forest'.

********

Hello :>

I have a guess on why they changed "Forbidden Forest"to the "Dark Forest". We all know that despite the warnings that Dumbledore gives the students about the forest being out of bounds etc...Still, Harry and co. find themselves going there (like for detention). If in the movie, the word Forbidden was used, then why would Hagrid allow them to go there for detention? It will defeat the purpose of the name "forbidden". And people could get the wrong message from this also by asking, "Hey! If it's alright for Harry and co. to go to the Forbidden forest, then there is nothing really wrong with it being *forbidden* right?" Wrong.
 

The word "Forbidden" means that no one can enter, and it is illegal etc... "Dark", only means that it is dangerous, scary, and enter at your own risk. So it more or less lessens the impact of the word "Forbidden", but at the same time it brings the message across that a lot of dark creatures are maybe prowling about in the forest, so proper caution and guidance should be advised...That's just my guess. :>



Reese

But I think someone mentioned before the possibility of being able to see
Part 1 and Part 2 right after one another if you wait until Christmas to see
both movies, or rewatch Part 1.  That is something I wouldn't mind getting
the chance to do.  I used to work at a movie theatre, so I've done a lot of
double feature days...and it can be fun, if you see the right movies (esp.
the 2nd one you watch).

Message-ID: <16e.6b5e7d5.296926d9@aol.com>

Did anyone see the American Film Institute Awards tonight?  In their ads 
promoting it on TV, they showed numerous shots of  'HP and the Sorcerer's 
Stone', like it was going to be featured- and guess what?  It wasn't even 
considered one of the Top Ten movies of the year!   As they would go to 
commercial, among other things, they'd show a short  snippet of a film that 
didn't make the cut; and it was there that they showed when Harry got his 
invisibility cloak.   So they used HP in ads to get viewers, and then snubbed 
it.  Guess we shouldn't be too surprised, Hollywood can be very pompous 
around the awards' season.  By the way, Lord of the Rings won for movie of 
the year.

On another note I think that Patrick Stewart would make a surprisingly

I could just imagine Dumbledore pointing at his broom with his wand and
saying "Engage!", or at the Banquet...instead of the "Let the Feast
begin," Dumbledore says "Make it so". Hehe...I think Stewart would make
a very good D. Though I believe he's got a new star trek movie, and
X-men 2 in the works...so I'm not sure he has the time.

Haha...HP with the cast of Star Trek...
The only part I wouldn't like would be Wesley Crusher as Harry Potter.
Ohgawd...Or Naomi Wildman (from Voyager) as Hermione. Ack...I think I'd
vomit. Hehe...Janeway as McGonagall. Oh...Seven as Fleur. Warf would
make an excellent DADA teacher, though he's likely to kill a couple of
kids during the lessons. Who else would fit? I love the idea of Troi as
Trelawney (Sirtis has the accent too!).

But that's what happens in the book.  For detention, Harry, Hermione, 
Neville, and Malfoy go into the forest to help Hagrid find the hurt 
unicorn.  That's why Malfoy goes crazy saying he'll tell his father 
and all.

The forest is forbidden to students, but not necessarily to 
teachers.  As they are going in the forest with Hagrid, it is 
seemingly okay.  The forest is still otherwise forbidden to pupils.

Fortunately, they are up and running again, though not yet accepting new 
mistakes nor corrections of listed ones.  Apparently they had a run of newbies 
last week because of some publicity, and were just overwhelmed.

Anyway, once they're accepting corrections again, we can let them know that 
some of their 50 (!) errors for HPPS are indeed not errors, such as this one:

" When the troll is discovered during the Halloween banquet, Percy supposedly 
leads all of the Gryffindors back to the common room. The amount of 
Gryffindors that follow him aren't nearly as many as those seen at the 
Gryffindor table during meals."

WE all know that he was just leading the first-years and this scene occurs on the 
first night, not Halloween (or am I mis-remembering some conflation that 
actually WAS done in the movie?).

Katze - Oh, I know that someone else got the credit listing, but I was wondering if those credited names weren't some type of "Alan Smithee" thing going on, and that Dale did the actual voices.  For those of you who don't know, Alan Smithee is the name a director uses whenever he doesn't want to be associated with a very bad film s/he's just done, or if s/he just want to remain anonymous on a project for one reason or another.  Not that HP was a bad movie!  Quite the contrary!

sorry to disappoint you jeralyn, but that's definately leslie 
phillips as the sorting hat! he's had a long and distinguished acting 
career, though i shamefully only really know him from re-runs in 
britain of the "carry on..." movies and the oft-quoted "oh hello!" 
phrase, which in his plummy accent sounds kind of like "air 
hellair..." he also voiced over one of the virgin atlantic airplane 
safety announcments about five years ago.

I dunno, in the picture in the link someone provided, he didn't look
too bad (he actually looked a bit like what I thought Viggo Mortenson
would look like, cleaned up, but obviously doesn't). I don't like Ronan
Vibert for Lupin (looks like The Scarlet Pimpernel to me (I'm weird))
and I don't like Jeff Hordley for Sirius Black - to Eastenders evil
character. I haven't even heard of these people before, so I'm only
going by the pictures. Maybe they look different onscreen.

Spielberg for director? Please no! There'd be aliens all over the ruddy
place! AGH!

Hello, 
well, as I was reading the books, I just never wanted to assume that 
James was also in Gryffindor.   While reading PoA, I was intrigued 
with the bit about Snape following Sirius, Lupin, Peter and James 
around.  How could he really follow them around constantly and 
successfully if they were not in the same house?? Somehow, though, 
Malfoy manages quite well to follow R/H/H.   Anyhow, this is what 
really got me thinking that James and the rest were probably in 
Slytherin with Snape.  However, I have not read the interviews with 
JKR where she confirms that James was a Gryffindor.  Does anyone know 
where these interviews are posted on the web??

Also, I asked a friend of mine which house she thought James would 
have been in and she also immediately answered, "Slytherin."  I
really need to read those interviews!

Cheers,
Jenny

Not to mention that he'd probably try to replace Daniel with Haley Joel
Osmont (is that how you spell his name?). I don't want spielberg on the
project.

I immediately placed Lupin, Sirius, and James in Gryffindor. Rowling
hasn't mentioned which house Sirius and Lupin were in, but in this
interview http://www.scholastic.com/harrypotter/author/transcript2.htm,
states that James was the Gryffindor Chaser. Lily was also in
Gryffindor.

Sirius knew the layout of the Gryffindor tower, as we found out in PoA,
so I think it's a safe bet that he too was in Gryffindor. The Lexicon
has also placed Sirius, Lupin, and Peter in Gryffindor.

I always pictured James in Gryffindor.  Sirius I could always kind of 
see coming from Slytherin.. or (to a lesser extent) maybe Ravenclaw 
(he was most intelligent).  But, being best friends, I'd assume he 
and James came from the same house.

Wouldn't Slytherins be more prone to like each other?  Perhaps Sirius 
WAS a Slytherin, but chose James as a friend (is he a half-blood, 
maybe?).. and that was a bit of friction with Snape?  Oh.. but then, 
some people have speculated that if anyone knows about the muggle 
world, it's motorcycle driving Sirius (i.e. he's half-blood.. or 
mudblood, for that matter).  Would he be in Slytherin?  

Ack!  Don't mind me.. just rambling with some ideas.

James certainly couldn't have been in Slytherin. Didn't his team

I think we'd be pretty safe about Daniel being firmly in place now, 
with or without Spielberg. It's doubtful anyone else could *ever* 
play the part - or at least not for several decades.

However, I just got hold of a copy of the Sunday Times Magazine (won 
it on ebay) from October 7th with all the HP articles. I didn't 
realize how dire the Spielberg situation could have been had JKR not 
stood her ground.

According to one of the articles, (or has this been discussed 
already?) Spielberg had not only wanted Haley Joel Osmond as Harry, 
but he wanted to transplant Hogwarts to an American high school. 
Quote from the article: "Cheerleaders are said to have been involved."

Being from the states myself, even if I hadn't seen the movie before 
reading the book, I would have been baffled by the idea of changing 
the location of the story completely. The phrase "if it ain't broke, 
don't fix it" comes to mind.

It would have been like trying to transplant the Shire into New 
Mexico.

There are times that Spielberg has been far more than brilliant in 
his directing of movies, but making ridiculous changes in HP wouldn't 
have been counted as even mildly intelligent.

I, for one, am exquisitely relieved that SS packed up his goodies and 
went elsewhere.

Heya,
I think that I read somewhere  (sometime today whilst surfing HP sites..) 
that the DVD would be released in April with only 10 mins of extra footage.
And I believe it is the same site that says Book 5 is coming out the end of 
January.   Is there any truth to any of these rumours?  
Having seen HP & the SS wayyyy too many times, I am looking forward to buying 
the DVD.   
I wonder what the average is for how many times we HPforGrownUps have seen 
HarryPotter & the SS/PS?  Do we want to admit this information??  Sorry, Im 
babbling.  And Im curious to see if there are any freaks out there like me 
who have seen the movie 5 times (or more?) with different people just so she 
could say, "But, I had to encourage my friends to see the movie so I couldnt 
say no!" 

Cheers,
Jenny, who is very sorry if everyone has already discussed how many times 
they have seen the movie. :)  (or how many times they are willing to admit!!)

I'm sure that's just hyperbole.  The writer probably only wanted to make a
point, and make it dramatically.  There's really no way that cheerleaders
could have been integrated into Harry Potter.  For heaven's sake, he's 11!

(Either that, or my view of Spielberg is horribly skewed.  I _really_ hope
that's not so)

There could have been cheerleaders leading cheers at the Quidditch

I would give absolutely no credence to a site that claims that Book 5 is coming 
out in less than 3 weeks, and we haven't heard or seen any other publicity to this 
effect.  And I'd give even less credence if they mean January of 2003!

Message-ID: <a1hpas+9fpu@eGroups.com>

All this talk of youngens :) like Ewan McGregor
and Christian Bale playing Lupin in PoA has me
thinking...

I was trying to think of what roles there ARE
for people in their twenties.  Everyone seems
to be either a teenager (or preteen) or over 30.

So, I was wondering, what about Bill and Charlie?
Could Christian Bale play one of them, assuming
of course he died his hair red.  :)  Or do we
want an authentic red-head?

Oh.. and here's another question.  Who is older?
Bill or Charlie?  I'm prone to guess that Bill is
older, since he is always named first... but do
we know for sure who is older?

In the books (#4 I think) it's revealed that Bill is older than
Charlie...I think. But it's pretty much a given in the fanfic world so.

Re. bk5: I've heard release dates from Jan to Sep '02. I'm inclined to
believe in the latter, because JKR has finished it, but it's got to go
through the usual process.

I heard that one too, and I really do believe that Spielberg would've
done it. Can you imagine? "Gimme a 'g'! Gimme a 'r'! Gimme a 'i'!..."
*shudders* "Go POTTER!" AAGH! Hogwarts in America? No offence to
anyone, as I'm sure you all agree, but that really does NOT go! Then
Ron would miss out his famous line, "That was BLOODY brilliant!" That's
not an overly used term in the States, is it not?

I hope you're right about the ms having finally been turned in. According the an 
article in mid-December in the Guardian, Bloomsbury's marketing person said it

Shelagh, I am with you on denouncing citizenship if Spielburg 
directs! We can move far far away! 8-0 I, too, read about him wanted 
to transplant the movie. And, I read that long before the Oct. 
article you are referring to. So, I'm thinking that may be true. I 
had heard it was planned for Hollywood High. I can't even IMAGINE 
why anyone - let alone an award winning director - would think that 
was a good idea! I understand when some reviewers said Columbus 
could have taken more risks. Perhaps. Perhaps not. But, moving the 
movie into something as NON magical as Hollywood High is... well, I 
can't even say it because I don't swear. But, you get my drift. And, 
as far as Columbus taking risks - better to ere on the side of 
caution in this case. That's why - after hearing Spielburg's plans - 
I just cannot come down hard on the movie. Yeah, there were little 
things that annoyed me. But, far better that we be annoyed by little 
things (which is inevitalbe) than be outraged at what they did to a 
classic like Harry Potter!

For me, I think was not including the potions trap when H/H/R were

really noticed it's absence when I was watching the film.

I would've liked to see more of the dragon scene, when the kids are
taking Norbert up to the roof for Charlie. I think that would've been
great! I would've liked to have seen the potions task, and also I wished
they'd cut down the chess game scene. That scene seemed to drag.

I couldn't get the video with the windows media file, but I could with

Hi Angela... welcome to the group!

Actually, I posted a poll asking this exact question.

I do believe the number one scene right now is the whole issue of 
Harry et. al. losing 150 points for Gryffindor and how much the other 
people can't stand them for it.  

Personally, I chose the opening scene with Malfoy (in the robes 
shop), because it really establishes Malfoy and clues us in to the 
different houses.  But after that, I'd probably vote for the rest of 
the hospital scene and the 150 points.

Do go vote!  :)

It's interesting...
Daniel was paid 30,000 pounds for the first movie. His salary has now
gone up to 3 million (not sure whether it's pounds or dollars, but I
think pounds). AFter this second movies, he's not going to have to worry
anything again...and this is before he has to get out on his own and
worry about stuff. 

He's such a cutie...While I don't think Daniel has ever been abused or
had such a loss like Harry, Daniel encompasses the quiet, shy reserved
boy I imagine as Harry. I really do think they found the right match.
It's strange seeing him without his glasses though ;-)

I wish they had more of an interview with Emma and Rupert. I'd like to
listen to them more and get a better sense of who they are.

You're right - it IS odd seeing Dan without the Harry glasses! :)  They are
all SO cute!  I can't stand it!  LOL  Ever since I saw the movie, I just
kept thinking that they could not possibly have done a better job finding
all 3 of them - they're just as I would have imagined.  Thanks to the person
who originally posted this - made me wish I understood Japanese, tho. ;)

> I wish they had more of an interview with Emma and Rupert. I'd like
>to listen to them more and get a better sense of who they are.

I felt the same...I also wonder how it is for the two of them, because of
course Dan *is* the STAR, and he will always get top billing as Harry.  Do
you suppose they get jealous?  I'd like to think not, as from what I've seen
and read they seem like great kids, but they are still just kids...

I think they're doing just fine.  I recently saw an episode of Regis where his & Kelly's only guest was Emma Watson, and she was just delightful.

This was also one of my choices.  Personally, I would've liked to 
have seen the whole book in the movie, but since that's not really 
feasable...  :)

What brought me to posting this was that my sister in law and I were 
discussing what scenes we would have liked to have seen in the 
movie.  The top 3 for us were 1) the potions scene 2) Malfoy at the 
robe shop (as you said, introduces the houses and it also gives some 
history as to why Harry and Malfoy dislike each other) and 3) more of 
Norbert, since there was so much more to his part of the story than 
they gave.

It took me forever to finally see the video (XP can be more of a 
hindrance sometimes) and I agree with most. Dan's voice has really 
gone! Kapoof! It's very deep (I go to school still, with 15 y/o boys 
and not half of them have voices broken that deep). I didn't see 
much of Emma Watson, and even less from Rupert, but I thought I 
heard him say something and his voice sounded as low as Dan's. I 
wouldn't call them cute, maybe because I'm too close to their age 
for comfort, but I relate to what most of you said. Dan is really 
shy, and he was modest and even embarrassed about that whole speech 
about the money. Hehehe.

K, I'm done admiring now.

(Sorry about the previous, useless post -- gotta keep the cat away from the 
keyboard!)

Did you mean to cut the list off there, or was your omission of the Americans in 
the cast deliberate?

Verne Troyer played Griphook, the goblin who take Harry and Hagrid into the 
Gringott's vaults, Eleanor Columbus (Chris' daughter) played Susan Bones, and 
Zoe Wanamaker played Madame Hooch.

The IMDB has a really, good complete list for HPSS.

Glad you reminded me!!

I've been thinking for ages that Heath Ledger ought to play Cedric 
Diggory. I realise it's a completely unrealistic suggestion since he 
is gonna be far too old by the time they get round to making the 4th, 
but in my head Cecric is always going to have curlyish blonde hair, ? 
la Heath Ledger in "A Knight's Tale", and to me he just seems 
suitably boyish. Because let's face it, Cedric has to be good-
looking, doesn't he? Fred and George, rather jealously I always 
think, refer to him as "pretty-boy Diggory", and so I think of him as 
cute, but in a babyfaced sort of way, rather than in a rough-and-
ready masculine way. Hence he has tumbling locks, preferably blonde!! 


I am also extremely torn with regard to the casting of Lupin and 
Black, as I see both Colin Firth AND Anthony Head as very good Lupin 
possibilities. Not Ewan MacGregor though. I don't think he is old 
enough or well-worn (!) enough to play either role. I find it very 
hard to pinpoint a suitable candidate for Black, because I don't 
personally find Black a particularly attractive (in a physical sense) 
man. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the character, it just means it is 
hard to find an immediately fitting actor, considering the amount of 
pressure there is on actors to be attractive.  

Just a few minor thoughts!

I always thought that seemed rather reflective of their characters, 
actually.  Hermione and Ron (well, more often Ron, but H too...) are very 
often in Harry's shadow.  An intriguing parallel which I'm sure occurs to 
all 3 actors, not to mention everyone else, on a regular basis.

Hmmm... I don't really see it.  Cedric is a "pretty boy" and I just 
would never ever use that phrase to describe Heath.

> cute, but in a babyfaced sort of way, rather than in a rough-and-

Funny, b'c that's (rough-and-tough maculinity) is how I see Heath 
Ledger.  He is more built and has a tough, wide face.  When I think 
of Cedric, I see someone lean, tall, handsome, with a cute, soft 
face.  Hmm... I'm trying to think of someone that fits this.  I'd 
almost say Leo DiCaprio if he was taller.  But he definitely has the 
cute-boy face and the leanness.  Hmmm... who else?  (Mind you, not 
that I'm suggesting these people... but just trying to come up with 
known people that fit that description).... or Ryan Phillipe.  He's 
definitely pretty-boy.  Fairly tall and lean too.

Who knows.. haha... maybe Steven Speilburg will take over and he can 
cast Haley Joel Osment as Cedric, as he's be older by then.  Haha.

> I find it very hard to pinpoint a suitable candidate for Black,

> (in a physical sense) man. 

Hmm.. see I think that in his time he probably was a very handsome 
fellow.  More on the sexy side, I'd think.  It's only Azkaban that's 
harrowed him.  I mean.. think what he's been through.  Accused of 
betraying his best friend (who just died and so he must be suffering 
that!) and being accused of being a death eater (when he probably 
despised DEs), and topping it all off is spending YEARS in Azkaban.  
It's way worse than Shawshank Redemption and look what that did to 
him!  :)  Anyway, this is all to say, that I think Sirius is 
probably, underneath all the grime and malnutrition, is probably a 
really goodlooking guy.

Yes, I've not seen many interviews, and they are mostly with Dan so far! But what I loved about this clip, was that Emma's first words were about how she'd done lots and lots of reports on Japan, and...  I mean, she just IS Hermione, in character as well as looks! Rupert too, saying he hadn't been to Japan but it was cool, or something like that! And Dan of course, being shy and withdrawn, like Harry! These kids are just great!

You know, all the talk of Heath Ledger not being pretty-boy enough

He does stong-and-silent very well; and if Heath played him it would 
make a whole lotta sense for girls to be following him around mooning 
about him, *plus* it would make sense for the boys to be impressed by 
his sportsman abilities (because HL is terribly

But Krum is not supposed to be good-looking.  (Besides the fact
that he's described as dark.)  He has a big nose and beetling
brows and a brooding expression.  This is not to say that he
couldn't be attractive anyway (some people find brooding terribly
sexy), but movie-actor handsome -- no.

The other contenders are Shrek, Moulin Rouge and Russell Crowe's new film A Beautiful Mind.

The PGA Awards are a good indication of what is likely to be nominated for the Oscars.

The winner of their award has gone on to win the best-picture Oscar nine out of 12 times, including last year with Gladiator.

In the television categories The Sopranos and The West Wing will face each other for the Best Drama Award while Friends, Frasier and Sex And The City compete for Best Comedy.

The interview is actually not very interesting (80% japanese talking, 10%
embarrassed Daniel (poor lad)), but let me know if you want me to send

It's about 3.6MB (dual ISDN quality).

I've been wondering this for quite some time, and can't find out 
anywhere, but does anyone have any idea who is playing Ginny Weasley 
in CoS? Will it be the same girl we saw for a *brief* moment at the 
train station (the credits at imdb.com list her as Bonnie Wright, but 
Wright is not listed for CoS)? Don't tell me the Ginny's role won't 
be in the film...
BTW, I'm new to the group, so sorry if this has been asked before. ;]

Actually, does anyone have a transcript of the
bit that Daniel says (or what anyone says - my
understanding is that a lot of it was just
commentary in Japanese)?  The only computer I can
get it to run smoothly on is at work where
they've got the sound card disabled.  I'm curious
to know what he got embarrassed about.

Hi, I hate to have anyone go to the trouble of sending me the video, 
but um... I couldn't even FIND it. I followed the link someone 
posted, then it said I had to install some language translator 
thing, then I clicked on the ONLY two words in English which were 
Harry Potter, then I couldn't find the video. Did I do something 
wrong? Thanks for any help.

I'm kicking myself in the backside for this. Twice have I missed

it?

And I can go even farther... Does someone have a copy of the

Thanks a bunch! Cheers!

Don't be embarassed.  I'm 27 and I haven't had a crush like this since 
I was your age.

Heh, I'm 30...so maybe I should be embarassed?  lol  I have to totally
agree with what you've said, Melia - it is SO not sexual, I mean, ick.
He's a kid.  Honestly, I'm not sure if I have a crush on Dan or Harry or
some combination of the two.  I think it extends to an extent to
Rupert/Ron and Emma/Hermione as well.  It's like...I wish I could be a
part of it...jump into these books and live with these kids, have the
amazing things happen to me.  Does that make any sort of sense, or have I
lost it completely?

Vicki,

     It makes perfect sense.  I think that is what makes these 
books/movies so compelling.  I would so love to dive right onto 
Platform 9 and 3/4 and hop right on the Hogwarts Express and head 
right to Hogwarts.  And it just so happens that they found just the 
right kids to portray our favorite trio on the big screen.  I think  
that is where the "crush" comes in (and Dan is SUCH a cutie!)

I'm the same way...I'm 25 and can't seem to explain to my friends and sister
the way I feel about Daniel.  I try telling them that I think he's adorable,
but they give me that 'you're sick' look...but I'm NOT...its just very hard
to explain to people...

My friends, welcome to the wonderful world of fandom.

Do not - I repeat - do *not* try to explain this to your friends or 
relatives. They will only give you weird looks.

Don't think you're weird or sick, even in a silly way. It's totally 
normal. There are fannish folk all over the world who feel the same 
way that you do - not perhaps about Harry Potter and the boy who 
plays him, but about other fannish things.

Rejoice in your new-found community for the fannish community is a 
*very* large one and completely accepting of these so-called 
eccentricities.

My family has never understood or indulged me in my fannish pursuits. 
and after some attempts at explaining, I let it go and found others 
that had those same pursuits.

Go forth! Find a fannish convention and seek out others of your kind! 

Hallelujah! Born again fans! 

<g>

He's 20.  My crush on him is the thing that makes me sane.  Although I 
still feel like a cradle robber.  :)

No, I understand fandom.  When I was 12 years old (many many moons ago) my 
three best friends and I were so into Lord of the Rings that we pooled 
money and purchased real gold and gem rings for each other (a gold band 
for the only boy and the 3 elven rings for the three girls).  I think I 
dated Johnathon more because we called him Frodo than for any personal 
qualities he actually had.

This is different.  I very much liked the books before the movie, but my 
sister was the one obsessed with the Harry Potter shrine where she kept 
her books and posters and Scholastic brand paraphenelia.  Then the first 
time I saw the poster book for the movie, I felt something.  Now I have 
puzzles, posters, yahoo.groups, horrible magazines for kids that don't 
even get elementary facts right, and my sister calling me "overboard."  

Oh, and I have the lego chamber of the keys scene, because I could no 
longer stand to not own the lego Harry.  (I'm giving the rest of the set 
to my husband's little brother, a Harry fan who collects legos, but I've 
told him he has to get his own Harry.)

I thought it would fade after LOTR came out, but it seems to have only 
made things worse.  Now I insist on seeing the movies closer and closer 
together so I can compare and contrast my reacions to each leading 
man/boy.  It's all just so very wrong.  I haven't had a completely free 
day to watch them both on the same day, but I'm sure that is coming, and 
that right soon.

But I'm really a very normal person.  No, really.  Hopefully they'll let 
me out of this lovely self-hugging coat soon so I can shake hands all 
around and introduce myself properly.

-Malia

Hi all--

This is just a reminder that while we are not enforcing the list rules 
as strictly as we do on the main group, we do expect people to observe 
most of the HP4GU rules.  So ... a quick refresher:

**  Descriptive & accurate subject headings

**  No one-liners (that means, no "me too" or "LOL" posts!)

**  Edit your posts: snip off unneeded quoted material, use white space, 
make your post reader-friendly in other words

**  Again from last night, no conversations regarding copyright 
infringement or pirated HP products (e-books, pirated DVDs, etc.)

**  If a thread turns into a personal conversation between you & one 
other listie, take it off-list please.

** Check the VFAQs or other ADMIN files before asking questions .. the 
answer may already be covered.  If your question is technical, post it 
off-list to the Moderators.

Thanks!

Penny

I can sympathise.  I remember watching David Copperfield when it 
first ran on A&E ages ago and thinking that his cuteness was almost 
too much for me to take :-)  It is strange, isn't it - this whole 
crush business on a 12 year old?  This past Christmas, my sister had 
gotten me a James Dean calendar like always, and this year when I 
opened it up she said, "...not that it matters anymore since you're 
now a pedophile.".  My mother's been calling me Humbert Humbert.  I'm 
with you Malia, I just want to watch him all day...maybe give him 
some cookies and a blanket.

The front page is here:

http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/video_gallery/showbizzy_interview/

Unfortunately, the video clip has been edited quite a lot, but you 
can get the feelings.

The interview took place in the Great Hall: The camera pans and shows 
the entire hall.  Chris Columbus and the kids are sitting where the 
teachers usually sit.  Chris Columbus points at the ceiling.  He is 
saying, "Up there, there's a magical ceiling, but I can't show you 
that, because...actually there're just lots of lights."

Questions asked in the video clip

1. The Harry Potter movie has been a great hit in Japan.  How do you 
feel about it?

2. What was the hardest scene to do in the first movie?  And how 
about the second movie?

3. How much do you get for pocket money?

4. What image do you have about Japan?
Emma answers, "I've done loads and loads of projects on Japan...."

Message-ID: <16.1862e8fa.2971290a@aol.com>

My favorite line left out is a very, very minor one.  When Harry and Ron are 
discussing how to find out about Nicholas Flamel, they suggest that Hermione 
ask her parents, as that would be safe (that is, not suspicious).
  And I can *just* hear Hermione saying, as she said in the book, "Very safe, 
as they're both dentists."  I yelped when that was left out.
  Also, re Hugh Grant.  He had a prior commitment that ran over, and his part 
(Lockhart) is now being played by Kenneth Brannagh.  Sorry if this info has 
been posted before, but I have been caught up in hideous medical issues ("I'm 
sorry, your baseline EKG is abnormal"), and have missed some digests.

Delurking here...

I feel that way, too, only this is really strange. (I've seen both 
movies three times, and will again.)

What I want to do is to get Frodo and Harry (both from the movies) 
and take them out for ice cream! Then I want to take them home and 
put Band-Aids on their bruises, make hot cocoa, and tuck them in and 
play videos for them. 

And never let the nasty, mean, awful Sauron and Voldemort around 
either one of them EVER AGAIN! Or they would have to come through 
me!!!

(We can really get maternal, can't we?)

Oh, and Daniel is even cuter in the Japanese video. I can't stand it! 
My husband thinks I'm nuts!


Horribly embarrassed now but happy to have "confessed" to others who 
understand...

Thanks, Timerider!  

Mods, is it possible that Timerider could upload this to the shared files, 
just in case other members haven't seen it yet?   If so, I'll just go and 
download it from there.  If not, I'll work things out with my fellow listsib.

I can relate with everyone saying they want to move into the books and
never come out, but I stop when it comes to thinking actors are cute.
I'm 15, so maybe it's just the entire lack of age gap. I'm lucky
though. I'm not calling anyone old, but it's 'feasible' for me to get
with Dan or Ron without being called a cradle robber. It's only 3-4
years. Hehehe. Not that I would. Chances are we won't even meet, never
mind talk, never mind like each other, so!

Because a few people have requested it, I'm uploading it to an
Internet server, instead of sending it individually.

Should take about another 10 minutes, when it should be available
under the following link: 

http://www.hill.be/Dan_Emma_Rupert_Japan_Interview.zip

I've compressed it as a ZIP file so your Browser should prompt you to
save it to hard disk, instead of RealPlayer opening.

Message-ID: <d6.108feebf.297219a1@aol.com>

Hiya everyone,
Ok, is this some sort of "Im too Old to have a Crush on Daniel" Support Group 
or something?? :)    Well, if yes, then, here I go --  I'm 22 and I agree 
with you all.  He's just too cute!  I wish I was twelve again.  Although, 
when I was twelve, I had crushes on guys who were much older than myself....  
I guess this age thing is a barrier for me, eh??
Anyhow, onto the proper topic.  There is a website that has the transcript of 
Daniels appearance on the Rosie O'Donnell show:
http://www.efanguide.com/~radcliffe/transcripts.htm

(the David Letterman transcript is there, too.)

I've missed both airings of the show too.  Seems to me that Rosie was a bit 
off her rocker while she was interviewing Daniel.  Anyone else get the 
feeling?  Did anyone that actually SAW the interview get the feeling that 
Daniel was *really* uncomfortable?  

Cheers,
Jenny

But later, when I found out that Nicholas Flamel was a real person (I 
admit I hadn't known already), it occured to me that her parents 
MIGHT have known some usual information. I suppose it'd be too much 
to hope for that one of them belonged to the SCA or worked at 
Renaissance Faire in the character of an alchemist, but perhaps one 
wrote a paper about alchemy for a History of Science class and 
remembered the part about Nicole Flamel.

Thanks!  I totally missed the David Letterman interview (got Rosie from
someone on another list).  But yes, Daniel always seems very uncomfortable
in interviews.  But Rosie does give some interesting interviews...she cracks
me up sometimes, but with Daniel looking *so* nervous and uncomfortable you
do have to feel bad for him.

Yup.

Oh yes, I saw it and felt exactly the same way. I found the whole thing 
waaaay too hyperkinetic. I've never seen it before, but Rosie absolutely put 
me off. I felt so sorry for Daniel Radcliffe.

I was talking to a friend about his appearing so shy, and she went off on a 
rant about "so-called shy actors, actors can't by definition be shy, it's all a 
con" Well, I disagree. Although it might not be that Daniel is _shy_ so much 
as he really does appear extremely nervous in interview situations. Especially 
with a maniac like Rosie looming over him.  what's up with that?

I am also a latecomer Elijah Wood fan [busy trying to rent some of his best 
films--also Viggo Mortensen's--so little time! If only I didn't actually have to 
WORK for a living! :)] and was absolutely stunned by his work in The Ice 
Storm. Yikes!! [NOT a film for the younguns on this list, I might add...]  Here's 
a link for the trailer if you haven't seen it. Don't be misled by the narrator's 
perky tone. This is a totally depressing movie. In a really good way. In fact, 
I've decided it's one of my favorites. "R" rated for sex and drugs, I'm 
guessing, although I saw it on tv with the language bleeped out.
http://www.foxsearchlight.com/projection_booth/icestorm.mov

What gets this back to Daniel is that I was thinking about Daniel's work after 
however many HP films he does. It seems at the moment that his parents are 
not pushing for him to take on additional projects, but there will come a time 
when, if he decides to continue acting, he'll be in other films. When I saw the 
Ice Storm , which EW must have been what, 15 or 16 when he made it?, I 
couldn't help but think--YIKES--trying to imagine Daniel Radcliffe in a few 
years in some heavy-duty serious, depressing film like it. Whoa!

Anyway, from what I have seen Elijah Wood seems to have survived being a 
child star without too much lasting damage? [Not that I know anything about 
him] So hopefully Daniel, with his parents supervision, will also.

Yes, like the rest of you I just want them all to stay young, innocent, and 
protected...

Elijah Wood has been extremely outspoken in regards to child-acting.
Called it false and dangerous, or something like that. Maybe he regrets
having missed out on all that normalcy. We all know that Michael
Jackson and McCauley Kulkin *sp* had terrible childhoods, so Elijah had
it pretty easy in comparison.

What concerns me is that after the 7(+) movies, Dan Radcliffe will be
known as Harry Potter. Unless he changes his looks in some drastic way,
he won't shake that off, and film roles offered to him might be a
little...stale. Rupert Grint has, of course, managed to avoid that, but
I wonder if Dan will be so lucky?

Nicky

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them were bleached, aka the Weasley twins (see, getting in a HP movie reference there) but in the Elves' defence I must point out that not all blondes have blonde eyebrows. My hair was nearly white as a baby, and in my advanced 20's ages now it is still medium blonde, but I have darkish brown eyebrows!

Hi, Lucy! My sister Holly is a medium blonde too! her
eyebrows are darkish too! So there you go! It is true
not all blondes have blonde eyebrows! But with Elves,
they probably wanted everything about them perfect!

Excellent, thanks for giving the link to those. Has anyone got the continuation of the Rosie one where it says they're going to meet Emma & Rupert next?

Tell her from me that that's Rubbish.

There's a difference between acting out a part which you've learned
by heart and being bombarded with questions by someone who possibly
wants to catch you out in order to get something new for their show!

In Dan's case, he went from being an unknown to possibly the most
famous child in the world ... He's a great actor but being under the
pressure which he now is just exposes the fact that his rise to fame
was possibly too quick ... Like Daniel says, he's just like his
character Harry, but Harry has so far (apart from blushing "valentines
day song", etc.) coped somewhat better ...

I wish Dan all the best and hope he can gain more confidence in
interviews with time.


Regards,

Timerider

Perhaps after completing the HP series, Dan will retire and go on to enjoy doing 
whatever he wants with his life and never think about acting again.  His parents 
seem semsible -- unlikely that he'll end up like Jackson or Culkin.  For one thing, 
they both started much younger than he -- at least Dan had a "normal" childhood 
up til recently.

Saw an interview last night with Jerry Mathers, who sarred in "Leave it to  
Beaver" on a popular TV series in the US in the fifties for about 5 years starting 
when he was about 8.  He seems happy and well-adjusted, pleased that his 
parents took good care of his earnings so he's basically not had to worry about 
work ever again. And that was just from a few years of TV -- Dan will be all set.  
The HP productin schedule is quite rigorous -- don't assume that Dan will ever 
want to be in front of a camera again!

You can also tell her from me that is ridiculous.  As an actor, I can tell you that a majority of performers are painfully shy.  That is one of the reasons *why* they perform.  It's a way to a) overcome that shyness and/or b) hide behind a roll, because sometimes it's easier to pretend being someone else than exposing yourself.

To get back on topic, I happened to catch the Rosie the second time it aired, and yes, she was positively manic.  But I think that stemmed from her complete delight with both the books and film.  She can certainly be overwhelming when she warms to her topic.

Message-ID: <a1v2tg+nel0@eGroups.com>

 My family and I watched The Borrowers (1997) specifically for HP 
spotting.   Tom Felton was a cutie and we feel that Mark Williams 
will be a great Mr. Weasley.  We thought it was funny that the "bad 
guy" in the film was named Mr. Potter.  At the end when the policeman 
drawls out, "Mr. Potter" I was waiting for him to say "Our new 
celebrity".

  Better add me to the list :-)  He is SUCH a sweetheart and cutie.  
I guess its the humbleness & shyness in interviews that gets to me.  
I have noticed he is not as shy and laughs quite a lot in candid 
shots & behind the scenes of the movie.  He seems to be a well 
adjusted boy. Kudos to his parents!

THANK you Tabouli!  I'd been wondering if you were on this list to grace 
us with an acronym.  I definitely feel a tad drifty.

To bring this somewhat back on topic, is it Daniel we adore, or Daniel's 
portrayal of Harry?  I'm finding it very hard to seperate the two at this 
point.  Watching the Rosie interview (which, by the way, made me positive 
that if I ever become famous, I will avoid her show like the plague) I 
could think little except "That's exactly how Harry would look and act if 
he were being interviewed about his babyhood triumph over V by Rita 
Skeeter on Wizarding TV."

Which makes me think that Rosie actually could get a role in the movies, 
as she'd make a superbly annoying Rita Skeeter.

So what do you think?  Will you want to watch Daniel in other things, or 
is it just that he's so very Harry and we just love Harry?

-Malia

p.s. who is withholding her own answer because the other thing she thought 
watching the interview is "That boy should only ever wear black."  Oh man.  
Dark hair, light eyes, and black clothes.  And 12.  It's not fair. *whine*

*whine*


Hello,

Just this morning, I was saying casually to someone, "Hmm, dark hair 
and light eyes  - can it get any better?"   At the time, I wasn't 
thinking of Daniel (*SHOCK*), but now that you mention it... dang, I 
am always the wrong age.  *sniff sniff*

Back to topic (sorry, I got lost there).  I think you might be right 
about the whole Harry vs Daniel idea.  How many times have I read the 
books??  How many times have I seen the movie??  Well, too many to 
count, but I think that Harry is so likable in the book and since 
Daniel plays him soo well in the movie, I might actually just be 
putting my thoughts on Harry onto Daniel.  Am I making sense here??  
In other words, I know a huge amount more about the fictional 
character Harry than I know about cutie Daniel.  
So, this leads me to ask -- did I buy the Harry Potter Movie Calendar 
for the pictures that remind of the book/movie or the great color 
photos of Daniel??   ha ha

And yes, should they allow an American into the Goblet of Fire movie, 
Rosie would make a perfect Rita.  I used to like Rosie quite a bit 
(and I really still do), but lately her show has really seemed to be
a 
major effort for her.  Perhaps this is why this will be her last 
season, huh??   How did she do while interviewing Emma and Rupert?  
Was she a bit more sane?

Anyhow, back to Calendar-watching...
cheers,
jenny

Another child star was Danny Bonnaducci (sp?), who had a difficult 
time as a young adult and had drug problems.  When asked if being a 
child actor caused his troubles, he said something like, "Well, the 
kids doing drugs with me were sons and daughters of doctors and 
lawyers, so no."  So whether the kid has a happy experience probably 
depends a great deal on whether the parents are bent.

As a parent, though, I'm always astounded that people attempt to have 
their kids get involved in professional acting on that scale.  Now 
that I have kids, I can't imagine the disruption to our lives if one 
kid had to be taken to auditions all the time.  The child would face 
rejection regularly, and most acting and modeling jobs don't pay much 
money anyway.  Then, based on what people like Jennifer Capriati, 
Gary Coleman and McCaulley Culkin say, they had to deal with being 
the family meal ticket, with one or more parents having quit their 
jobs to act as their manager.  

If others want to, good for them.  Now that I understand the 
sacrifices involved, however, it is a non-starter.

To bring this back on-topic, however, I heard that Radcliffe received 
$300,000 for his work in PS/SS.  Given that the film has taken in 
$275,000 million so far, $300,000 sounds like peanuts to me.  Is that 
all Radcliffe is getting?

He, Daniel, looks a bit young in that photo. Is that recent? They both look 
younger than they did in that Japan interview.
Hmm... I wonder what scene that is from. Maybe it could be from the basilisk 
scene. I love that statue... it would go great my bathroom...:)

Hard to say - I think JKR herself said that Daniel perfectly embodies
Harry's spirit...and I'm wild about Harry, though I have to admit that
the line between the two is blurred for me as well.  I'm not sure I
could handle him doing some of the darker, edgier (Elijah Wood) type
stuff that young, serious actors seem to crave these days.  The appeal
for me, in both the books and the film is the earnest way in which the
story is told, with just enough of JKR's dry wit to keep it
interesting.  (Which is why I refuse, at the expense of being told I
have no fussy, edgy, gritty drama-critic type taste, to dis Columbus's
version of SS.)  I would definitely buy into the Daniel-IS-Harry theory
to explain his appeal...and I'm enjoying it too much to have my bubble
burst just yet.

As for Rosie's interview - she *was* a little in-your-face, wasn't
she?...I think she deserves to become an honorary member of
A.T.A.D.D.R.I.F.T.Y.  I'm pretty sure that was her problem, as she
usually does a little better than that - and seemed to recover, once the
adults were onstage.  In her defense as well, she's dealing with kids
who don't react at all in a way she is used to.  I think she even
marveled once, that American kids would be much more uninhibited and
less polite - and made me laugh, when she said that she wanted to take
young Daniel to Great Adventure and put him on a rollercoaster (I had
just been thinking the same thing!)  I think she'd be a fabulous Rita
Skeeter - and just might get a chance to redeem herself with Daniel,
Rupert and Emma if they get to know her in a more relaxed setting. (Poor
thing - she really did come off as somewhat of a maniac.)

Mary - who, upon reading Tabouli's latest offering, fell to her knees
and kow-towed while laughing hysterically.

Most production info is already up at the IMDB. John Williams is 
already composer for CoS.

The film industry tends to plan for things in threes  - IOW everyone 
gets signed up so the studio will have an option to hire them for 
three movies just in case even the biggest turkey is a hit. 

So most likely the major players will be under contract for 
everything up to PoA, but beyond that, it's anybody's guess.

I have discovered a danger of reading the book/Watching the movie too many
times....I fell asleep during my fourth viewing.  Somewhere between the
mirror of Erised and one of Snape's scenes I fell asleep and didn't wake up
till they were running about the castle towards the Forbidden Corridor.
Guess I shouldn't read the book constantly through the year while waiting
for the movie...

Oh well, DVD comes out in April, I can remember all the missed scenes then

Message-ID: <3C434D62.F49816D9@crescentmoon.org.uk>

>From Jeremy Robinson

The many recent pots about the box office grosses for 'LOTR' and 'Harry
Potter' and how they compare to 'Star Wars', 'Titanic' and other blockbusters
forget some crucial facts about movie revenues:

1. Adjusting for inflation. Without doing this, comparing the grosses is
meaningless. 

2. Territory: it's crucial to state whether you're talking domestic (US) gross
or global gross.

3. Gross revenue is different from net revenue.

4. Profit is totally different from gross or net revenue.

5. Movie rentals are something else again (in some ways, the best indicator of
a movie's theatrical performance). 

6. Probably the key factor is ancillary markets: home video, DVD, cable,
satellite, pay-TV, network TV, syndicated TV, etc. Here's the kicker: movies
generate less than a quarter of their revenue from theatrical distribution,
and over half from video. That's where the money is. Many movies may not be
the top films of their particular year, but they can do very well on video
(compare video rentals or sell-through charts with theatrical box office). For
ex, the rights to broadcast the first 2 'Harry Potter' flicks went for $130
million, while 'Shrek' has been doing nicely on vid. 

7. And then one mustn't forget the huge area of merchandizing and licensing. 

---

'LOTR', 'Potter' and 'Star Wars' are gigantic franchises, but when you adjust
for inflation, 'Gone With the Wind', not 'Star Wars', 'E.T.' or 'Titanic',
comes out on top of the all-time box office lists, and one company totally
dominates the all-time top 20 list: Disney (six movies).

LOL  Oh, that's just perfect!  Which brings me to a question I simply must
ask, despite the fact that it reveals just how true my membership in the
above group is. :O  Umm, what color are Daniel's eyes?  Did they put green
contacts on him to play Harry?

I think it's when Harry and Ron find the line of spiders since ROn 
looks rather gorrified while Harry just looks puzzled.  Also, 
Hermione isn't in the scene.

His eyes are blue... but he wore green contacts during the movie... However, 
they became so bothersome, that he went without them at some point, and they 
were digitially made green in the post-production.

I agree. I have a degree in acting. And, while a majority of actors 
I've worked with are outgoing, there are plenty who aren't. It has 
nothing to do with how they come across on screen. After all, just 
look at the roles people play! I mean, I've played some pretty racy 
roles and I'm a really innocent type person. Dan can certainly be a 
shy, well mannered young man, then turn around and act the part of a 
wizard who defeats a dark lord. And, I find his shyness REALLY 
endearing. 

(Yes, I am joining that "too old to have a crush on Dan support 
group." I was relieved to hear other people have the same feeling. I 
mean, I'm not old enough to be his mom or anything, but WAY to old 
to date him. Now, anyway. ;-) hehe. I just want to look at him and 
be his friend and go on adventures with him, and eat dinner with him 
and... ok. I've made my points. Bye!

Did it seem though, that his eyes did look BLUE in the movie?  
Because, I saw the movie before reading the books, and when the book 
said Harry had green eyes, I marched back to the theatre and saw it 
again (poor me).  And I must say it was hard to tell at some points - 
green vs. blue.  
Gee, I guess I'll have to see the movie again.

When is our first Support Group meeting??  <G>

Doesn't that happen in Herbology, which is outside? Or do you mean that
night when they go out to follow them?  Harry's holding his wand, too. 

Verry interesting.

What are you saying?? That when you're 30, he'll be 20 and that

I'm thinking that hint might be that we'll visit Godric's Hollow at some
point in future books. That's my guess at least...

Maybe the Rubble is still there, and Harry will find things that

  Great acronym, Tabouli!  And I agree with the premice that it's

rather than Daniel himself, perse.  But neither of that matters, he's 
still such a cutie.  When is the first meeting?  When do I get my

Hello, sign me up, too! I am so relieved to know that I am not the 
only one!

D'you s'pose that Chris Columbus will continue to try to protect our 
little actor, since what happened with Macauley Culkin (Home Alone) 
was so awful? I know it wasn't the director's fault, but I read an 
interview with him and he still sounded guilty about it.

Perhaps that is one of the reasons he might do all seven movies (if 
they do that). 

If Chris is too busy to protect him, I nominate myself as (maternal)
bodyguard and any one of you who also would like the job! I don't 
want people messing with him - I would love it if he stayed just like 
he is!

And, while working, we could wear dark sunglasses, and big, black 
satin jackets with the ATADDRIFTY acronymn on the back!

grownups who adore Daniel/Harry/whoever)

Actually, if you read a lot of Elijah's interviews (if anyone's 
interested, email me offlist and I'll send you some), he's not bitter 
about it at all.  He's very appreciative of the opportunities it (his 
early career) afforded him.  Like Dan, he also mentions how much 
better his education was as a result of the one-on-one tutoring (it 
was either Dan or Rupert who mentioned that he'd had the higher 
scores with his tutor than he did at school).  Also, one of the 
things that Chris Columbus said during the NBC/Dateline special was 
that you have to cast the parents as well.  I was glad to hear that.  
With Dan's parents being familiar with the business, I'm hoping they 
have at least a modicum of caution with the dangers of Hollywood.  
I'm hoping that Dan will go the way of Roddy McDowell, another 
wonderful British actor who started off as a child actor and 
continued his career through to the end of his life, relatively 
scandal free ;-)  Is it me, or does it seem that the American child 
actors fare far worse than the English ones?

And count me in for membership in ATADDRIFTY.  Love that kid - LOVE

to mother him ever since I saw David Copperfield on A&E a while 
back.  I didn't get into Harry Potter until I found out Dan had 
gotten the lead role (which was my main reason for going online to 
seek out more information on this whole Potter phenom - now I can't 
imagine ever NOT knowing what quidditch was).  I hate to quote Chris 
Columbus, but he really is a remarkable kid.  

As for Dan being shy, I'd be worried if he wasn't.  Nervous, whatever 
you want to call it, it's healthy for him to be at this point.  I 
can't tolerate a cocky kid.  Makes me want to vomit.  Never did like 
Macaulay Culkin for that reason.  He was just arrogant - at age 10 
even!  Now Elijah, he was a confident kid, but I never found him 
arrogant in any way.  I hope Daniel does gain some of that 
confidence, and I think that will come with time.  I hope he has a 
long and wonderful career ahead of him.

I must admit I was happy that they didn't show the Gringotts ride (wasn't
aware they had filmed it, but was definitely happy not to see it).  I was
afraid it would look cheesy...and kinda cliched (don't know exactly how to
explain that, but I just had to type that). :-)

 THANK you Tabouli!  I'd been wondering if you were on this list to grace 
 us with an acronym.  I definitely feel a tad drifty.
******snip*****
 So what do you think?  Will you want to watch Daniel in other things, or 
 is it just that he's so very Harry and we just love Harry? >>


Greetings!

I too have been lurking for about a month on this and the non-movie list.  I 
just HAD to respond to this!  I'm definitely in this category, though haven't 
felt "shameful" (which I say with a big grin, 'cuz there shouldn't be any bad 
feelings involved.)  I've seen the movie 5 times, though it was after seeing 
'David Copperfield' (after about the 2nd time of seeing the movie) that I 
really started of thinking of Daniel as ADORABLE!  I think he's a splendid 
actor, so it's not just the character of Harry that I find attractive.  He's 
very subtle, which I think is perfect for Harry, given his experience with 
the Dursleys.   I'd watch him in just about anything!   Rupert, too, who is 
my partner's favorite (must be the red hair commonality  <g>)

Well, I was thinking about that this weekend while watching my video of the
Rosie interview...I don't think I'd be able to watch the future HP movies if
Daniel wasn't Harry.  He is just *so* Harry...I even read the books now and
can hear him saying all the Harry quotes (I may have a serious problem).

But I do think I'd see other movies if he was in them...he is a very cute
kid...and seems just too lovable to ignore.

I think she was a little bit better with Emma and Rupert, but they were also
a lot more calmer than Daniel was.  They didn't even look that nervous...I
was shocked that Rupert chose to direct his answers to the audience rather
than Rosie.

The only thing that got to me was the fact that Rosie felt a need to tell
*every* member of the cast that she wanted to play Mrs. Weasley.  Very
annoying!

My vote goes to A.T.A.D.D.R.I.F.T.Y.  It perfectly describes how I 
feel about Daniel/Harry (haven't really decided which yet as I find 
the similarities rather confusing).  How long is the vote open for 
before the group name is decided?

I think there is no danger that Daniel will become the cash cow of his family.
His parents
both were very successful in their respective jobs and they already lived
in a big house in 
one of the posh suburbs of London before and he also went to an expensive
private school. 
He somewhere said that the money he gets from the films are put in an account
for his
futher education (university or so). I have not the feeling that his parents
will get "money crazy" and 
let him do bad films just to get more money (as was probably the case with
Culkin). 

And that his Dad quit his job for being his manager and chaperone is a rather
good idea, as he 
is already an agent and knows the business and its dangers. And should Daniel
quit acting later on, 
his father can always go back to his former job. It's not like a regular
office job that you give up. 
I would rather watch over my own child than let him in the custody of other
chaperones. 

Whether a kid ends up with drug problems you can never predict. A lot of
it also depends on the kid
and his personality. Although a lot of my friends tried out smoking and light
drugs when we were teens,
I never even was tempted to try. But I was just strong enough to say that
I don't need this to have fun.
Others are not as strong and get seduced by others. It's a question of self-confidence
and strongness
of character. That's why it's not so important how the parents are, because
there are a lot of drug
addicts who come from perfectly happy and caring families.

OK, I'm delurking to vote for this too. I''ve been on the list for about a 
week to get the feel of the place and I rather like it here. :-)  I've seen 
HP 6 times. Which is pretty good for someone who was avoiding the whole

Count me in as a Drifty. Well done Tabouli, I was going to ask if you were on this list when the first Acronym request came up!

I'm only 27, but still alas too old. I would have to say I'm more with the 'tuck up in bed and make sure he gets fed properly' idea though.

Lucy the Drifty!

PS Tabouli, is there an acronym for Wood fanciers? He's not *completely* too young for me, at Sean's 18 to my 27!!

I tend to go Drifty just at that moment in the movie when Harry goes 
through either the brick wall to Diagon Alley or the brick wall to 
Platform 9 and 3/4.  I think it's the excitement of entering a 
magical place and leaving the muggle world behind - something I'd 
like to do occasionally (especially accompanying Harry to share in 
the adventure, but especially to try and protect him and keep him 
safe).

With me, I think it's when he traps Dudley in the snake pit and lets the 
snake go.  I just wanna hug him. :-) Also at the end when the sand/voldy 
swoops through Harry and knocks him out. :-(

As for the wonder... I simply adore the look on his face and the way he 
gently places the wand down after it had shattered the flower vase.  I love 
his facial expressions. :-)

I absolutely agree with you regarding the facial expressions which is 
why I then find Daniel so appealing in the interviews I have seen 
(haven't seen the Rosie interview though, only read the transcipt).  
Oh dear, I definitely need the support of A.T.A.D.D.R.I.F.T.Y.

Yes, I would like it if a Brit could give us a nice definition of 
"drifty."  Im American too and Im not sure of the meaning.
Anyhow.
Shall we just put "DRIFTY: (subject goes here)" in our support group 
messages if they pertain to that group?  Saves the trouble of joining 
yet another group.  :)

The dictionary states that to "drift" is "to be carried along, as by a
current."  In our case, it's pretty safe to say "carried away."  Also -
Tabouli, the undisputed queen of the acronyms, needs a title of her own
- here's my feeble attempt:
A.G.O.D.D.E.S.S. - Acronym Generating Official - Dangerously Drifty

It's been shortened to Drifty, for ease of pronunciation. :-)

I vote for A.T.A.D.D.R.I.F.T.Y. for the support group name.  I say 
just put either that or Drifty in the subject line when it pertains 
to that cause I've already got a ton of groups I check every day!!  
And have any of you got the soundtrack with the bonus CD-ROM??  It 
has some marvelous wallpaper of the movie poster that is blue with 
Harry and Hagrid walking back-to (from when they visit Diagon Ally).  
*sigh*  Seeing Harry/Daniel's profile, dressed in those oversized 
clothes makes my heart melt, I want to weep.  If you don't have it 
run-don't walk-to the nearest record store and make it your wallpaper 
now!!!!

OK, I'm delurking to vote for this too. I''ve been on the list for about a

HP 6 times. Which is pretty good for someone who was avoiding the whole
Harry Potter bandwagon at all costs. LOL  I saw the movie with a friend,

I heard he's getting 3 million for CoS, which still isn't a lot if the
movie is as successful as PS/SS. Still, it's enough to keep him out of
work for the rest of his life. Oh what I could do with 3 million...

I agree with the basilisk theory, just after the Deathday party. Ron
has the kind of disgusted look anyone would get if they'd sniffed
rotting fish *ick*. Hermione might just be further behind on the
stairs, depending on the camera angle.


Re. A.T.A.D.D.R.I.F.T.Y: No offence to anyone, but I think maybe you
should start another list. It's a very big thread that could branch off
into some interesting discussions, that not everyone wants to read. If
you decide to keep it here, that's cool, because I can just delete
messages relating to the matter (if you please put a note in the
subject line). I haven't really got a thing with Dan Radcliffe; if I
were to meet him, I'd want to either ignore him (I think I'd do that
with anyone remotely famous) or go to McDonalds with him and ask him to
teach me how football works. I wouldn't stray anywhere near the topic
of Harry Potter, because he'd probably be heartily sick of the subject
by then. But that's me, and that's just one opinion, so whatever.

I thought perhaps they were in the trophy room (checkin out Tom Riddle's
plaque). I can't remember when this tkes place, my memory of CoS is rather
vague (time for a reread methinks).

Okay... I plan to start a new Yahoo group, named "ATADDRIFTY."

However, I will not start it up without Tabouli's "go ahead" because 
Tabouli was the one who penned the name.

So... For those of you who would like to join, please email me 
PERSONALLY (chiflipgrl at aol.com). I will jot down your name and email 
addy, (probably assign you a number..LOL) and you will become 
a "Drifty" once all is said and done! Are we cool with all this?! :D

AT least one child actor is as sick of "Harry Potter" as
any adult. "A.I." star Haley Joel Osment is lashing out at
the blockbuster, saying, "I thought it should have stayed
as a book. `Harry Potter' is 70 percent imagination, but
now it is such a stereotype for kids. When they think of
`Harry Potter,' now they're always going to think of what
was portrayed on the screen." Osment tells the Sydney
Telegraph that he's not bitter about Daniel Radcliffe
landing the role, insisting, "I never wanted to do `Harry
Potter.' "

I don't know that I believe that he wouldn't have taken the

Personally, I couldn't see HJO as Harry Potter. He just doesn't
have the right stuff to be Harry. Also, I feel a bit put off
by his comment that the movie should have remained true to
the book. In many cases, it was. And in some cases it was
much better than the book when you get down to it (at least
to me). Ahh well, I'm glad he wasn't Harry and that Speilberg
didn't get his hands on it and make it a CGI film :)

I agree, HJO doesnt fit my image of harry at all.. First of all, and 
most obviously, he is not british.  And I wouldnt want to hear a fake 
british accent come out of him - or any other actor - for that matter.
Secondly, he's too... sweet.  Does that make sense?  I mean DR is 
really a cute kid and seems very nice and stable (blah blah blah),
but 
he has that curiosity that I dont see pouring out of HJO.  And Harry 
is just sooo curious.

I find that the movie and book were very close.  Any closer, and the 
movie would have gone on for 3 more hours.

Richasi - What did you like more in the movie than in the book?  (out 
of curiosity...)

cheers

Ok, where did you find "his own words?" I know nothing about Sean 
Biggerstaff. But, Yes, I agree, he is a little hottie!  (And much 
better age-wise for me - 18 to my 22. hehe)
Everytime he comes on the screen (ive seen the movie 5 times in the 
theatres), my friends and I go, "ooooooh, luuuuuuuvvvvely!"

I like the scene where...:
Harry:  I like this ball.
Oliver:  Ah, ye like it now...

he looks so cute in that scene!!  sorry...
i'll stop now, seriously.

Well, I think it says something that the NY Post wrote "No sour 
grapes." Um... YEAH, RIGHT! I know you can't judge people you don't 
know. But, if I had to make a bet, I would say that was totally a 
business move. There has been a lot of talk about Spielburg wanting 
Osment as Harry. I read Osment had even started taking dialect 
lessons to learn a British dialect. You can see right through that 
statement, if you ask me. I mean, if he really thinks that, well, 
who cares. I don't mean that to be unkind. I just mean, if he 
weren't trying to make a point, why make a statement like that at 
all? You cannot tell me he would not have accepted that role, if 
offered. I for one, though I think Osment is a good actor, shudder 
to think of him as HP. The first thing I said when I read of that 
possibility was, "Oh, no!" I firmly believe it should be an unknown 
actor to portray HP. Otherwise, people would be watching the movie 
and thinking, "There's that kid from Sixth Sense." I think they 
could not have picked a better actor to portray Harry. And I applaud 
J.K. for standing up to the lure of a famous Hollywood director and 
keeping the integrity of the movie intact.

> Richasi - What did you like more in the movie than in the book?  (out
> of curiosity...)

Fortunately, or unfortunately, I was introduced to the HP world by
the movie. I had heard of the books well before hand but I just
never gave it much of a time of day. (and actually, when I saw
the movie the first time I didn't like it either. It took a
second viewing for me to fall madly in love with the HP universe).

Ahem, anyway, because I hadn't read book 1 before the movie I consider
myself tainted in that retrospect. I did, however, read the book
after my second showing to see what was different. There are many text
changes
from the book to the screen that I think work better. The conversations
between Dumbledore in the Mirror of Erised scene, to me as an adult,
worked better, than they did in the book. And, some of the chat at the end.
A lot of people don't like Richard Harris' portrayal of Dumbledore but
I find it to be okay. The books' Dumbledore is a little wacky and I found
the portrayal on screen to be a bit more mysterious if not more grown up.

So, a lot of the conversations I enjoyed much better on film than
I did in print because of the way they were worded. They seemed a
little more adult than not.

Also, I found that in the book there were way too many characters.
Dudley's friends at the Zoo, more of some of the other Gryffindors
(especially Neville, which is fine, I like Neville, but I think on
screen I enjoyed seeing him less and his part assigned more or less
to Ron).

I've only read the first book once, but the other three multiple times
(I loaned out my book 1 to my mom and haven't gotten it back yet, so
when I get it back, and re-read it, I might have more to say here) ;)

Looking over the movie in comparison to the book, I think they did an
excellent
job with the material. It was adapted quite well. As a writer myself, I know
there are things you place in your story that just aren't necessary. They
add
to the overall experience, but just aren't needed. Many of the things I
found
in the book that were in addition too or different than the movie I found
really
were not necessarily needed and therefore don't have a problem with it being
left
out.

I might, however, change my mind depending on how CoS is translated. I can't
wait to see THAT on screen. (Consequently, I've never read a book that was
turned into a movie before. So it'll be something new for me to experience).

In strictly movie speaking, I enjoyed Quidditch so much the whole movie
could have been about it and I wouldn't have minded. And, as much as I hate
for it to end, I just love the ending. The music queues up, Harry and
friends
are going home, the whole experience is over but yet... its not... its just
beginning. The ending with the train pulling out and Hagrid waving as he
walks away always gets me. *Sniff* ;)

I completely agree.  There's NO way that HJO could have played Harry well,
and I'm not saying that just because I'm a card-carrying member of
ATADDRIFTY. *grin*  Let's list the problems:
1) He's American, not British
2) He's blond, not dark-haired
3) He's too well-known as an actor already
4) He's cute but in a cloying way that just would not work for the character
of Harry

Okay, that's my list - I'm sure there are other points.  All I know is that
I'm so glad we have Daniel. :)

Vicki, ATADDRIFTY to the core ;)

This statement means that HJO thought the movie should not have been made at 
all because it undermines the experience of the book, NOT that he thought it 
wasn't true enough to the book.

Please sign me up for the Biggerstaff fan club.  And for double sessions of

Sorry if this has been talked about before, but I haven't been around 
for a month or so, and not too much before that.  Anyways, on to my 
point.

I remember people mentioning how the Grand Hall's ceiling would be 
enchanted but when the mail came it was normal.  Did anyone else 
notice in the movie that Hermione said it was "enchanted to look like 
the night sky."  She only said night, not day.  So (to me) that would 
explain why the ceiling was normal when the mail came.  Did she say 
the same line in the book?  (I'd look myself but I'm at school and my 
book's not here)  Anyone agree?

Hi all --

Really.  Must we have 70+ messages about this topic?!

Do a *poll* in the future.  There's no need for every member of this
group to pipe up with an individual message saying "count me in," and
"what are we going to call ourselves?"  If you plan to start a separate
Yahoogroup for this function, just make *one* announcement & be done
with it already.

Here's the ADMIN part of this message: if you continue to post in
disregard of the rules of the HP4GU community (links to our ADMIN files
are at the bottom of every message), you will be placed on moderated
status (which will require your messages to be approved in advance by a
moderator or list elf).  In case you need a reminder, here's a brief 
recap of some of the more pertinent rules:

1.  Keep in mind that this is a list for adults.

2.  No (absolutely *NO*) one-liners!  Please stop posting the "I want to 
be ADDRIFTY too" messages.

3.  Use clear & accurate subject headings

4.  If something is becoming a private conversation (I think ATADDRIFTY 
is heading that direction myself), please take it offlist.

5.  Snip off unnecessary quoted text when replying to a message.

If you have any questions about the rules or policies, please email the 
Moderator team offlist.

Thanks,

Penny

Straight from the source:

Harry looked upward and saw a velvety black ceiling dotted with stars.
He heard Hermione whisper, "It's bewitched to look like the sky

I think I would prefer we stuck with this group and just put ATADDRIFTY in the subject line if necessary. If the volume started to overwhelm the main Movie discussions we could rethink.

Hmm...deja vu perhaps? So Harry Potter isn't quite supernatural...
Makes you think. I doubt poor Dan will have time to do that movie
though, seeing as he's in practically every scene of every HP movie
they plan on making with him.

Now THAT's more like it! And I'm a little younger than Biggerstaff, so
it's entirely feasible *eg* Ooh, hear the wedding bells *swoon*

Hehehe. J/k. I don't fall for actors too often *sigh* But he IS darn

A friend of mine had a magazine that interviewed him with about seven 
questions.  The last question was something like, what should readers 
know about you, and he responded something like, "That I'm devilishly 
[or was it frightfully?] good-looking and I'm single."

Oh... I came up with a name for us:

I think it is possible. It may take a year to produce the movie, but the
filming only takes a few months. He could film the other movie between
CoS and PoA, or between PoA and GoF, depending on when shooting is to
take place for the telekinetic movie.

It bothers me because in the article I read (don't know if it's the 
above) someone comments that DR is the biggest thing since Macauly 
Culkin, and I thought, "NOOOOOOOO!  Don't let Daniel start making 
horrible horrible movies and end up like Macauly Culkin!"  Because 
that brief description sounds horrible in the way that Culkin's The 
Good Son was horrible ~ trite, melodramatic, and just a bad idea.

On the other hand, it sounds like Daniel's parents have half a brain 
and would rather encourage their son as opposed to farm him out in 
every money-making-scheme movie that comes his way.

Here's hoping that Daniel sticks with good stuff along the lines of 
David Copperfield/Tailor of Panama/Harry Potter, and stays away from 
the shlock....

Does he have to go to school in between all this filming?!? Or does he

Just wondering ...

Considering that his mother is a casting agent, I suspect that his

As in any business, salary is based partially on experience. Daniel's 
pay for PS/SS seems amazingly low compared to what the movie has 
taken in, but remember that there was also money going out to pay for 
everything that goes *into* a movie. Including other, far more 
experienced actors, special effects, the composer, post production, 
advertising, sets, rental of property, licences and leases, etc. 

Check out the list of credits at the end of the movie - every one of 
those people had a paycheck coming to them. 

Making a movie costs *big* bucks - especially one heavy on special 
effects.

I'm not taking anything away from Daniel's performance. I'm simply 
saying that, as a newcomer - even with a couple of credits to his 
name - $300,000 was probably pretty standard.

With an established hit under his belt, yes - it is completely 
standard for his agent to demand and receive a much higher salary for 
his client.

Did people actually think Tailor of Panama was good?
I certainly didn't.  Dan was cute to be sure, but was
only in it for about 3 minutes.  The rest of the movie,
though, was dull, I thought.

Yeah, she said that. So we know it looks like the night sky at night, but I 
always thought it ALWAYS looked like the sky outside? Being rushed out the 
door to go get tetnus shots *whimper*, so can't find book reference. I'm

about the grand or great hall, either way- the reason why they didn't include the sky during the day can probably be broken down into three different, plausible reasons as follows:

1- maybe it was too expensive to have the owls fly in a drop the mail by cgi and at the same time have the sky there. 
2- maybe it was too time costly to continually add in these effects to get the movie out in time.
3- maybe it was just too expensive to do the sky(i know it may sound odd, because they spent so much on the effects, but everybody's gotta draw the line somewhere, right? so maybe they were at their limit- it was probably spent on more important cgi effects, like fluffy. of course, i could be totally off my base- but this is just a theory).

i don't think this will solve the discussion- but it was my immediate reaction. anyone agree?

S.I.N.C.I.T.Y. (Sean Is Nubile and Cute, If Too Young)

H.A.S.B.E.E.N.S. (Hunky Athlete Sean Biggerstaff, Eighteen: Eminently Nibbleable Sexgod)(or Scotsman, if you want a proper one word for S)

As for the Drifties, have fun and thanks for the compliments!  Though I was impressed by Malia's husband's DIRTY (which has the doubly sneaky trick of spelling out a word which is actually relevant...).

All child actors in Britain (under 16, at least) must have about 5
hours of schooling on set (one hour more thn me! HA!), and the gang on
HP apparently had private tutors. I remember hearing once that the
child actors union (or whatever) offered to get the law changed, just
as long as it was a UK cast on HP. Seriously! I read that somewhere -
CBBC Newsround, BBC Harry Potter special or Empire Online, one or the
other.

I saw the Tailor of Panama and yeah, DR was cute - but the movie, 
overall, was quite boring and obvious.  And they call it a "spy

one.

I can only assume that they'll leave the anagram out, and just have Riddle saying spookily - ah, but I AM Lord Voldemort, Harry Potter.

I guess it's just one of those infuriating changes that they make for no real reason than to make us gnash our teeth!!

Old news, I'm afraid -- that shot was released many months ago, long before 
HPSS.  The commotion about the misspelling was so great, that (as we all know) 
the shield never did show up in the film.  (I assume it was in the case with James 
Potter's quidditch award.) So it has become a non-issue.

I had never heard about this! (Which I can't believe, 'cause I 
thought I read every article that came out.) Now, wouldn't you think 
SOMEONE would notice a blarring mistake like that BEFORE it got that 
far? I mean, It's a prop. It could have been remade. Makes you 
wonder. Good thing they didn't show it. At least now we can return 
to the I AM LORD VOLDEMORT thingie.

Erm, you're getting a bit confused I think - this shield is for the 2nd book and 2nd film, not the first film. I wouldn't have expected to see it in the Quidditch trophy area - after all, they have a whole room for trophies, and doubtless lots of cases for the different sorts of shields and cups.

Erm yourself, here's the article describing it from November 2000, which said:

 "The Harry Potter crew may have upped sticks from Oxford and moved on to 
locations unknown but Empire Online's spies never sleep and have struck paydirt 
yet again with the first ever shots of the Hogwarts trophy cabinet taken on set 
at Christ Church college.

"The Quidditch cup was on full display, engraved with the names of two previous 
seekers, the position Harry plays for the Gryffindor team. . . . 

"Last but by no means least is a very special award for one Tom Riddle, the 
importance of which won't become apparent until the second film. However, 
those of you who have read Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets may 
notice that Riddell's name is spelled differently from the novel, something that 
could prove problematic to the storyline of Harry's second outing."

They talked about Hagrid, Hermione (and how to say her name), how the 
centaur looked, and Quidditch.

I thought it was very cool!

At www.news.com.au, there is an article saying James Isaacs will be

the forth installment. I was under the impression that only 2 books 
had been signed for movies, when did they sign for the next 2?

Does anyone know what the inscription on the Hogwarts' Crest stands for and

not sure if I've missed this somewhere else or what.

Also, in the movie scene in the wand shop, is that music anywhere on the

If I remember the piece of music correctly, I think you'll find the
snippet in track 6 starting 2:15 minutes. It appears that they snipped
this piece out and used it elsewhere in the movie. This particular piece
I'm pointing out is my favorite, and hopefully what you are looking for.

I always pictured Lockhart with long locks,

It has been quite some time since I've seen a Kenneth Branagh that 
has impressed me.

After he and Emma Thompson split up, the work I'd seen from him left 
me a bit wanting.

However, last night at the Golden Globes, the scene from his 
performance in "Conspiracy" absolutely floored me. I saw again the 
intensity and believability I had seen before in Henry V, Much Ado, 
and Dead Again shining through. I got absolute chills. 

He was remarkable.

I'm now thoroughly looking forward to seeing him in HP CoS!

Message-ID: <20020121184413.42656.qmail@web14904.mail.yahoo.com>

I'm pretty sure Brannagh *sp* can pull off Lockhart no trouble. I agree
with whoever said his hair should be longer, but we all have nitpicks
with at least SOME of the characters.

I know we don't meet Moody until way ahead in book 4, but my sister was
watching James and the Giant Peach yesterday and I just thought 'Pete
Postlethwaite would be great as Moody'. He isn't anything like how I
visualised Moody to be, but he can play scared deranged auror when he
wants to.

Um, for those who still have no clue who I'm on about, he was Friar
Lawrence in Romeo&Juliet (with Leo DiCaprio). He's been in loads of
more obscure films and BBC productions (kinda like Maggie Smith) but
he's really GOOD! And I reckon he'd have aged a bit since I last saw
him onscreen.

Does everybody think that Moody would be younger than Dumbledore, or is
that just me?

Nicky

Actually..I thought his hair was just right. But for some reason I had
the idea that we wore a hat. Not sure where I got that from. I think Kb
will be great as Lockhart. I hope they keep the end part where he loses
his memory...

> Does everybody think that Moody would be younger than Dumbledore, or is

I imagined Moody about the same age as McGonagall, about 70 years. I
know some of you absolutely don't agree, but I still think Gary Oldman
would make a great Moody. I wouldn't think this normally, but after
seeing him, again, in Fifth Element, I think he'd be perfect. Makeup can
do wonders as well...

I watched Die Hard and Galaxy Quest this weekend and I'm admiring
Rickman more and more. I'm really glad that he got the part for Snape.
He plays such a great bad guy, Die Hard, Robin Hood (Ugh...kiss kiss).
And then his parts in Galaxy Quest and Dogma are just wonderful. I love
seeing him as Snape! weee....where's my husband when you need him?

I agree on both counts, Dawn.  How's he going to get his famous curlers into that 
short mop?  It's supposed to be golden curls and need a hairnet when he sleeps!  
Though maybe not as long as Fabio's.   Oh, well, a detail lost along with 
Hermione's prominent teeth, I guess.

As for his outfit -- it seems to be a golden-boy version of Snape's Victorian 
garb, with the robes unfastened, the better to show off his other layers of 
finery.  (Remember the row of buttons that we saw on the ankle of Snape's 
pants at the quidditch match when Hermione was setting him on fire?)

anything like how I visualised Moody to be, but he can

My brother - a big film buff - had another interesting
suggestion for Moody.  How 'bout Anthony hopkins?  He
would be great at the bit in the very end after the
third task but before the Polyjuice Potion wears
off... he can do that kind of scary like few others!

"As for (Lockhart's) outfit -- it seems to be a
golden-boy version of Snape's Victorian garb, with the
robes unfastened, the better to show off his other
layers of finery."

I can deal with Lockhart's short(er) hair, and I even
like his clothes.  If you look at the edges of the
picture, you can see deep pleats in whatever he's
wearing over his vest,etc.  These are similar to the
deep pleats we saw on the back of Quirrel's robes in
the final chamber, after Harry's gotten the Stone from
the Mirror and Quirrel has  - for lack of a better
word - disintegrated.  So I think he is wearing a robe
over his muggle clothes.  (Remember in the flying
lesson scene - Madam Hooch has a perfectly
"muggle"outfit on under her robes)  My only complaint
about Lockhart's clothes is their color!  The gold is
appropriate, but whatever happened to turquoise,
pink,forget-me-not blue, and lavendar?

Since 1981, the Golden Raspberries have awarded the worst 
achievements in the cinematic arts.

They have yet to annouce their 2001 nominees (they usually coinicide 
with the Oscar nominations), but a peek at their website indicates 
that HP the CC MP will likely escape unscathed.  A list of all 
eligible films can be found here:

Films which are considered likely nominees are in caps. HP is not in 
caps.  A search in their archives failed to show results for Chris 
Columbus, which indicates that there have consistently five people 
each year worse than he is in delivering quality cinema.

Hi all,

I just saw The Count of Monte Cristo last night which included Richard 
Harris as Dantes' prison-mentor Faria.  Harris as Faria had all the 
twinkle Dumbledore lacked. He doesn't appear to need a surgically 
inserted twinkle (as someone suggested once upon a time). :)   From his 
performance I'd say the serious Dumbledore is mostly due to the script 
and not Harris (tho I still can't believe he passed up on talking to 
JKR).
