I did n't really notice him looking flabby, but one of my friends (who
had also seen the first movie) said he had jowels in this one. I think
it may just be slightly different lighting. Much more of this film is
set at night so the lighting would be harsher.I do think we're all
forgetting that the man is 57 years old. He still looks pretty hot for
his age. And if he looked like Tom Cruise I'd just stop adoring him. I
thought he gave a different impression here too. In the last film he
hd mre menace but here he did camp it up in parts. I wrote about this
in another post and the replier said they thought he ,as Snape, was
trying to match Branagh as Lockhart's exggerated attention seeking
gestures to mock him. (Mock the character that is, not Branagh). I see
what they were saying but it still bothered me a bit. He lost some of
his mystique, but he seemed to have more screen time, which was a
blessing. He manages very well I think, considering he does n't really
have anything to do for most of the film in toerms of action. We just
see his dark eyes glitter with malice/ concern/ delete as appropriate.
I wonder if he knows whta snape does in the later books. I know JK
told Robbie Coltrane some things about Hagrid. What do we think?
