I got a report from Dragon*Con! (Yes, I'm going to use up my 'bang' 
quota in one post)  My friend Skates, who just got back in touch with 
me after a looong time, has been womanfully passing out flyers and 
working her TUCHUS off -- and she got The Package to Jason!

She said he's 'thrilled and delighted', and couldn't believe somebody 
would start up something like this without him asking them to! 
<snicker>  Apparently his agent's called him about it already, so it 
wasn't a complete surprise.

Skates also said that the flyers are going like gangbusters!  People 
are doing the 'Ohmyghodhe'sPERFECT!' thing all over Dragon*Con.  A 
German fan has asked about putting up a poll on his website, and 
John 'Fenn Shysa' Hudgens wants to post something on his site as well.

(Fenn won 3rd place in the SW fan film contest on Skiffy, btw, 
with 'Darth Vader's Psychic Hotline'. :D )

Wish I could've hit WorldCon as well.... <sigh>  But this is great as 
it is!  D*Con is far more media-minded.

This is going really great.  I hope Cuaron will be as easy. ;D

P.S.  I came up with a 'high concept' line to sum this all up --
 'Jason Carter is to Sirius Black like Hugh Jackman was to Wolverine.'

Hello,
Can any one help me find some good screen shots from the Harry Potter 
movies.  I have managed to find hundreds of shots from LotR (my other 
great passion) in google but none from Harry Potter.

Thankyou

As he's not said anything for some time, I suspect Martin may not pay 
close attention to goings-on here, so I'll anticipate his reply and 
send you to his two pages of screen caps:

Whew! you are reading my mail  ;-).  I adore Rupert Grint and I am 
old enough to be his mother!!  :-D  He's just a cutie, and I read 
that he steals nearly every scene in CoS, he is that funny.  And 
Rickman....*SIGH*  Don't even get me started.  I don't care if he's 
in his late 50s, he is one sexy man and a fabulous Snape.  I can't 
wait to see him in CoS!!

No, no! There's a fanfic somewhere where he is a Newfoundland, and after
checking the 2 breeds in my dog encyclopedia I really think he would be best
as a Newfie! An Irish Wolfhound would be infinitely better than a Labrador
(no way, not big enough!!) but a Newfie is just what I imagine when I read
the Sirius scenes!

Thanks for the links they are really good and personally I can't wait 
for the fabulous screen shot(which realy must be on the Poster 
campain) of Snape struting around the staff room in Drag in PoA.  I 
also look forward to his "Vengence is sweet" speach, "those darn 
kids" and his meeting with the Marauders Map.
Even though I am old enough to be his daughter!

Firstly, well done Corgi on an admirable piece of promo work in favour of Jason Carter.  I shall print it off to *read and inwardly digest* ina quiety moent when the Cruikshanks lookalikes are fed.

Secondly, we had much talk about what they would remove from PoA when they film it, quite recently, and I decided to go back and read it again prior to my flying to the US .  I have come across one moment I would dearly love to see *The Boggart in the Wardrobe*.  Obviously being a Snape fan this has advantages too, just go back and read if you don't remember.  Seeing Neville's Boggart would be such a joy and it would be such a chance for the special effects people to show off generally.

Still I don't know how valid it would be, perhaps to show Remus Lupin in a positive light in relation to the students.  So, regrettably it may go.

I think it's necessary.  For an introduction to Boggarts for one thing.  And
to develop Lupin's character and give a good laugh at Snape.  I think the
sight of Alan Rickman in a purple robe and hat with vulture on top is enough
to merit its inclusion.

Also, I'm desperately hoping that the the dwarf sitting on Harry's feet to
deliver the singing Valentine message will be included in CoS.  Anyone know
or heard rumor on the matter?

This Ewan as Lupin idea is not going to lie down is it?  

In spite of many contra-indications from those in the cinematic *know* about his being in various other films, in various parts of the world, at various times, the appeal persists.  

I admire the man hugely and would love to see him in the role.  He would, I think, also be a nice foil to Cogi's hero Jason Carter as *I think* he is slighter of build (for the more protective amongst us :-))

<snicker>  I dunno, Jason's pretty skinny.  Get a load of the

What about Christian Bale, thinking of dragons and such?  I'm not

Okay, I don't have the books with me at the moment, but what color 
are Sirius' eyes?  I noticed that Jason Carter's eyes look blue.  I 
was just wondering -  I always pictured them dark, but I don't 
really care  ;-)

Uh-oh, religious argument! ;)

I am of the Sirius's-Eyes-Are-Blue School, from the fact that 
animagi's animal forms have evocations of their human forms 
(McGonagall's feline 'spectacles', for instance).  Padfoot's eyes are 
referred to as 'pale', which leads one to think 'blue'.  There's also 
the fact that Sirius is a blue-white star, and the visual parallel is 
desperately charming.

All those other people *harrumph* think Sirius's eyes are brown, 
because of his dark hair, and the fact that brown eyes are a dominant 
gene (cf. Colin Farrell, 'Minority Report' et al).

There IS no canonical statement -- yet.  Yet another reason to fidget 
fretfully for OoP.

Please also check out

Hehe!  I didn't realize they were pale.  I must have missed that.  I 
have to agree with your point, though, about the blue and white 
star;  that makes sense.   And, yes, brown eyes are dominant, but I 
have dark brown eyes (and hair) and ended up with a light blue-eyed 
daughter.  Don't ask me how it happened, I have no idea, but after 
three brown eyed boys I was ecstatic  ;-).  So, it does happen!

Well, while a lot of dark haired people do have brown eyes, an equal number
don't.  Okay, I don't know the statistics, but, for example, I have
extremely dark brown hair and green eyes.  And then there's Harry.  He has
dark hair and green eyes.  I think blue eyes on Sirius would be quite nice.
Very dashing and charming.  Of course, color contacts can always be used,
not sure why that didn't work on Daniel Radcliffe to get green eyes!

Doesn't explain why they didn't CG Daniel's eyes, though.  That one's
a real puzzler, because they could do it ever so much better than they
did for David Lynch's Dune, especially since they wouldn't have to do
so many characters.

But Jason's eyes are naturally blue, and we wouldn't need to fiddle
with them one bit. ;)

Ah, well, I suppose that explains it.  I imagine he was barely eleven when they 
started, that is a bit young to be wearing contacts.  I found it rather 
interesting that though they didn't bother to color his eyes in the first 
movie, they did in the first poster book.  Bright green eyes, very bright!  Yet 
in the poster book for CoS his eyes are their natural color.  Quite a dazzling 
blue, I guess they decided to leave well enough alone!

I read an article on Daniel Radcliffe exposed today which says he's grown 6 
inches in the past year and is now 5'3" tall.  Err, not unusual for a thirteen 
year old, what is the big deal?  Anyway, was he *really* only 4'9" just a year 
ago?  I find that a bit hard to believe.  That's rather short for a twelve year 
old boy.  Not unheard of, naturally, I taught a few over the summer about that 
size.

Still, I can't understand the big deal.  Sure, Harry's supposed to be a bit 
scrawny, but as long as Daniel doesn't fatten up too much you can be scrawny 
and still be tall.  And just give the others high heels and everyone will be 
fine. :)  Anyway, isn't it a bit late to worry over it?  He's already signed on 
for PoA.

Well, I'm doing all I can for the Harry Potter campaign here. :)  My first 
graders asked me last week when I was going to read them Harry Potter.  Didn't 
quite know what to say.  They're a bit, well, underdeveloped.  Don't quite 
think they could handle it.  Still, I'm promoting it wildly amongst the staff 
here.  I've got one of the Kindergarten teachers reading it now.  And others 
are getting rather curious.  One teacher bought me a Harry Potter Stained Glass 
coloring book over the weekend.  How sweet.  And yes, I love to color.  Comes 
with teaching first grade. 

Well, better stop rambling and send this off before the aforementioned first 
graders return from P.E.  <sigh>

'Well spotted!' <happy bounce>  Absolutely right.  He's also done a 
couple low-profile feature films recently, no idea if they'll play on 
screens or go direct to video.  And the appearance on 'Angel', but he 
was practically unrecognisable there (lots of latex).

Pfaugh.  He's an actor, he'll do an accent if they ask him to.  I 
think a touch of the Highlands would be extremely appropriate, but 
I'll be lucky if I can just get him cast.

My goodness, that sounded like I actually have influence. <snort of

Good Grief!!!  that's him!??  wow...that commercial stands out in my 
mind for some reason, and I guess this is why.  Sorry, I haven't been 
to these boards in quite sometime and have been reading to catch up; 
I think Jason Carter would make a great Sirus Black.  He's got 
that "look" that I pictured in my mind the first time I read PoA.  
Ewan for Lupin and Jason for Sirius...can it get any better than 
that?  okay, well enough from me.

I like the idea of a light eyed Sirius as, even when he looks mean and scruffy they can make his eyes do a lot of the work, when he makes it to the cinema screen as a human, not a dog.  ( still have him more as a skinny but tall-ish lurcher type but I think this is because I cannot imagine him as a beefy newfoundland after 12 years in wizarding hell.

BTW I had Remus Lupin down as light of eye too, but that is probably because he is forever described as dusty or *grey* in PoA and wolves look grey, but, I after much thought (and seven readings of the book..) I think, for now, his eyes would be brown. No canonical logic to that, so many apologies.

I would love to know what makes you think is is a Scot Rachel.  Simply because the thought never crossed my mind and I wonder where it came from!  We have Professor McGonagall as a rather severe Scot but that's all.  Most of the cast are English (there are a few exceptions) and being English I have always imagined they talked in a similar way to myself when I read the books.  Hopefully they don't talk exactly the same way I do, (I would not inflict that on a dog of any stripe!!)  

I suspect most American/German/French/Italian cinema goers think they have accents simillar to their own when reading the books.  The closest I got to finding out was the bit on my DVD which allowed you to have them speak a segment of the film in a variety of languages!

*LOL*   when I read them, I read them with British accents, too! I 
thought I was the only one who did that....and I am a Texan, so I 
imagine my "internal British"  sounds positively awful.  ;-)   And I 
am glad, too, Katy, that they kept the "English"  feel of Harry

Myself, I don't 'hear' them w/ Scots accents, but considering the 
source (JKR and all her stealthy Scottishness), and the location of 
Hogwarts and such -- and rampant Celtic nationalism -- I'd like more 
Scottish accents to be used.  Sirius has some pretty drastically 
genotypical colouring for a Celt, anyway; it'd be nice if the accent 
would match (and I'm pretty sure Jason Carter's got some Irish 
running around in his family background, just from that hair).

don't forget the Snape, too  ;)  Honestly, I can't wait to see who 
plays Lupin (Ewan!  Ewan!) because I adore him, too.  What was it

on a fictional character is having a crush on a married DEAD

Well, I'm in Louisiana, you can imagine what my British accent sounds like.
Although some of my lines are quite good.  For example, "Sorry about that!"
Yeah, I can do Hagrid.  I can also do Draco pretty good.  Anyway, it never
fails that after watching Harry Potter (or Sense and Sensibility, Pride &
Prejudice, etc.) I have to be very careful for a couple of hours or
everything will come out with a British accent of sorts!

Richelle

P.S. Who still insists that although Ewan would be a lovely Lupin (doesn't
that sound cute!) he will be too busy with SW III, most unfortunate.  Unless
of course, they *don't* film in order and do all of his scenes first. Maybe
he could squeeze it in.  Although the way everyone's freaking out about
Daniel growing, they may not risk filming out of order.

By George, I just found proof.  He isn't a giant.  WB just released some new 
publicity pics, links are at www.the-leaky-cauldron.org and Rupert is taller 
than Daniel or else he's got platforms in his shoes. :)  You know, the more I 
think about it, 5'3" isn't that tall at all for a thirteen year old boy.  My 
younger cousin however many times removed, blah blah, is thirteen and he's at 
LEAST 5'7 or 8.

Bravo, bravo.

Oh, by the way, there are also adorable pics of Colin Creevey and Tom Riddle at 
the site previously mentioned.  <sigh>  Why does Tom Riddle have to be so darn 
cute?

Sorry Richelle.  I just read you post and saw that you had already 
told every one about the pics.

<Rupert is taller 
than Daniel or else he's got platforms in his shoes.> 
 Daniel has his knee bent a little.  I wonder if he was told to stand 
that way so he would look shorter?

He also looks as if he's either got a really short neck, or
is somehow hunching down a bit (don't know how to describe
it).

Isn't it kind of strange how obsessed one can get ;)

Nope, nope, nope.  :)  I'm determined that Rupert is taller.  I blew the 
picture up a bit to check the leg situation, and the leg his weight is on isn't 
bent.

Nope, nope, nope.  His arms are lifted up around Rupert and Emma's shoulders.  
That gives the neckless impression.  Stand in front of a mirror and pull your 
arms up like they're around someone's shoulders and you'll see.  

> Isn't it kind of strange how obsessed one can get ;)

Yes, I have just become the defender of Daniel and Rupert's height issues.  
Well, I suppose we'll see for certain in November after the premiere, we're 
bound to get one good picture of them together to compare.

I can't see the problem with Daniel gettng taller either.  It is fairly obvious that they shoot Hagrid from lower down as even though Robbie Coltrane is big, he is not THAT big......  anyway I have been told children can shoot up (apparently, I don't have any, our cat's grow on a different schedule.....so I can't tell)

So even if he did grow, he would probably be taking after his dad, who I always imagined tall even before the film, just like Sirius, with Lupin *slightly* smaller in build. I could not see the point either in making such a song and dance about his voice breaking either.  Big deal, it happens to all (or most?) boys, the news would have been if it hadn't at some stage ;-))  I read Daniel is really growing into the role and, if the others follow suit, it will be a tough call to replace them.  Although like most kids who start cute, maybe they won't stay as sweet as they are, boys in particular have a nasty habit of starting out looking absolutely sweet then puberty hits and they just lose it. *shame*

It doesn't look like Daniel's going to have an awkward stage any time soon.  He's growing from a sweet kid into a handsome young man (BOP magazine will most likely have a field day with him<g>).  Harry isn't *supposed* to stay sweet-looking.  He's growing up, too.
The deal is, and it's probably what worries some people, is that Danny looks and sounds older than he actually is. Tom Felton is almost two years older, and doesn't look it. With the delay in the books, and the fact that IIRC Warner is only contracted for four films, I think people might be worried that he'll outgrow the role.

When Sirius appears as a dog, I was convinced he was a lurcher of some kind, this would look good on the screen, dramatic hairy dog, long muzzle, etc..  However, having finished PoA again, which quotes Sirius as sounding *suddenly like the bear sized dog he had been* a newfoundland sounds a better idea.  

However, I then read on and found *I was thin, very thin..... thin enough to slip through the bars*  Now I'm sorry but even a newfoundland in advanced stages of malnutrition could not squeeze through bars that are even close to prison bars in terms of width apart etc.,  (this is guess work, not being a convicted felon...).

I did think of an irish wolf hound, except I think they mght be too tall.  It would still be raffish and quite dashing, a bit like SB himself. I finally settled on somethign the build of a doberman or dalmation but with lots of hair, however, not being too knowledgeable about dogs this is as far as I have got.

And fnallyI don't think in my haert of hearts that Ewan will play Lupin. *sorry*

Yep, that's what I think most people worry about.

When they picked Daniel, he looked young for his age, and
they probably didn't expect him to start looking older than
his years quite this soon.

And with Harry supposed to be smaller than his age, they are
afraid he'll grow too far away from the image a lot of
readers have in their minds.

Doesn't matter if he grows into a handsome young man, they
want to see Harry as described in the books.

Their is enough worry about the eye and hair color our
there.
If Daniel now grows into a sturdy young man, the image fits
even less.

I have to admit to having seen the movie first, having been
dragged to it by my husband and daughter, who read the books
together.

So for me the characters in my mind look like the actors.
Doesn't really matter to me, if they don't quite match the
book description.

And I hate having new actors take over a beloved role!

But not everyone has liked the actor choices to begin with,
from what I've read.

Okay, let me throw in my two cents here.  First of all, in the very first promo 
pics when Dan was chosen were when, August 2000?  Which means he was barely 
eleven.  To me, knowing the eleven year olds I know, he looked very much 
eleven.  I'd have believed twelve if you told me.  If they were really so 
concerned about how much he would change, they should've looked for a younger 
child.  The age range was 10-12, and he fell right in the middle.  If it was 
such an issue, it should've been 9-10.

> And with Harry supposed to be smaller than his age, they are
> afraid he'll grow too far away from the image a lot of
> readers have in their minds.

But see, I don't picture Harry as staying a scrawny little boy.  Maybe he's 
supposed to, but I can't picture him that way.  By PoA he's played two full 
years of Quidditch, flies very well, and has turned into an excellent athlete.  
Sure, the Seeker is usually the smallest person on the team, but as long as the 
others are bigger that's good enough for me.  Harry describes Cedric as being 
much taller than him and he's a seeker.

> Doesn't matter if he grows into a handsome young man, they
> want to see Harry as described in the books.

Next point, I don't think it matters how much Daniel grows as to how much 
taller the others are than him.  As long as they have a nice tall Cedric 
Diggory and so on, it should be fine.  When Harry is continually referred to 
as "little boy" and so on, it's by 17 and 18 year olds.  So as long as they are 
adequately taller, no problem.

> Their is enough worry about the eye and hair color our
> there.

> even less.

Not necessarily.  I still think that once Harry got out of his little cupboard 
and away from people who allowed their son to take anything Harry had he 
wanted, including food, that he would grow a great deal.  Sort of like a 
goldfish being moved from a tiny bowl into a fish pond.  They grow in leaps and 
bounds.

Also, I think the "innocence" was lost in PoA to an extent.  Sure, not as 
drastically as in GoF, but I pictured Harry looking older by PoA.  Not a sweet 
little boy look, but a growing boy turning into a young man.

Okay, enough babbling for now.

Oh, but the Grim is =supposed= to be a Canine Of Unusual Size, 
because he's magical, not a natural dog.  A Great Dane might be the 
right size/height, but not shaggy or bulky enough ('bearlike' again).

A lurcher might work... how big do they get?  Remember, Padfoot was 
large enough to be able to help control a werewolf on the scent of 
human, in an emergency.

And he really should look bigger than Fang, but part of that'll be 
how he's photographed, eh?

Worry not, I am still apologising for spelling Geroge Bush wrung! (ahem.....)

That aside I think your English was admirable, as with most posts it is the ideas that are of importance and, having read what people have been saying about Daniel and his size Ii can honestly say that shouldn't be an issue at all.

Very sensible posts (forgive me for not naming the writers) have commented rightly that if they had wanted someone who was going to stay *young looking* then they should have started *younger* but, bearing in mind that he has: One been fed and now plays Quidditch: Two has gone through a considerable amount of character building and general growing up, I really can't see the problem with having an older Daniel, he is Growing Up for heaven's sake, a hero in the making etc., etc., destined, chosen, whatever, to confront Voldemort in some shape or form at some stage or other (hope that was suitably vague) the last thing he will be is the skinny little runt he started out as when we joined his journey all that time ago.

I think that from CoS onwards Daniel will continue to grow as an actor and a character.  As will Rupert Grint and Emma Watson.

My problem is I have a mental picture of Sirius the dog and can I describe it?????? Erm.... <deep breath and deeper thought>   OK I'll have a go.

It's sort of a very large and bulky Dalmation type dog, with the long hair of an irish wolfhound all wiry and grey but not hugely overhairy and shaggy.  As the Dalmation is related to the *grate dane* maybe it's not too far fetched.  It's physique is wiry and strong rather than a bulky and strength through weight idea.  This wiry strength would allow it to help in the control of Remus as Wolf and allows me to believe it slipped through the bars at Azkaban, something I canot imagine a bulky dog doing, cimply on the grounds that flesh can shrink but how much would the bones of an animagus shrink?

As I said in my earlier post, personally for me, the actors
are just fine with me.

I was just trying to explain why other people might be
bothered.
For some people it seems to be an important issue, looking
at the lists and forums out there.

Alas, kids do grow at different rates, and it's not possible to
predict when changes will hit ;)

Excellent reasoning, except we run aground on the rocks of [digs 
through canon excerpts] USppb p. 225 'Gigantic', p. 270-1, 'Bear-
sized dog' and p. 279 'Enormous, bear-like'.

There is a young woman on a HP movie board who can not stand Daniels 
acting of Harry.  She is using this article and pic as an example of 
how even less of a Harry Daniel is.

A recent post of hers:

"Radcliffe gets HUGE! (see accompanying picture) 
http://www.countingdown.com/movies/harrypotter2/movieinfo/cast?
item_id=2400589

I must say, I now feel as hopeful as the anti-Harris people did when 
they heard he might be too sick to go on. If he stinks in CoS, I say 
hand Radcliffe the towel, and fast!"

The article says he grew 6 inches in a year.  Hmmm...

Bravo, bravo, bravo!!!  Now, let's start a campaign.  The "Keep Daniel as
Harry" campaign.  Who do I write to?  Anyone know?  Addresses?  Emails?
Help?  I'm serious about this now, I simply can't imagine anyone else as
Harry.  I don't care how big Daniel gets, unless he gains a hundred pounds
or something.

Tell me about it!  I won't even begin to go down that path. :)

Okay, first of all, unless Daniel grew at least five inches between last
September and last November, which is only two months, it is impossible that
he's grown six inches in a year.  Take a look at the pictures from the
premieres last year.  There are quite a few of Daniel standing right by
Robbie Coltrane, who is 6'1."  Can't go by the one with him under Robbie's
arm, he's bending over.  Have to look at the others where they are both
standing up straight.  There's a really good one where Robbie's grabbing
Daniel with both hands and holding him right up against him.  Almost meant
for my purposes.  I'll admit Robbie's head is down a bit, but not much.
Maybe an inch or two, tops.  He's barely a head taller than Daniel.  So
that's *maybe* about 10 or 11" shorter.  Okay, which means Daniel was, what
5'2" or 5'3" then?  And he's supposed to be 5'3" now?  All right, let's go
backwards 5'3" take 6 inches off, he'd have been 4'9" which is *really*
short.  And that would make Robbie Coltrane, compartively speaking, 5'7".
Yeah, right.  :)  You can also compare the pictures of him standing by JK
Rowling.  I don't know how tall she is, but unless she's extremely short it
doesn't figure in.

Second, in the picture of Daniel with his mom he is *maybe* 3 inches taller
than her.  The only other picture I've seen of the two of them a third
person was in the picture, a woman.  In this picture both Daniel and the
other woman were taller than Daniel's mom.  I get the impression (unless the
other woman in the picture was extremely tall) that Dan's mom is rather
short.

Okay, is that clear as mud? :)  I have a very analytical mind.  Can you
tell? ;)

Oh, and is it just me, or is Tom Riddle *way* to cute?! ;D

First post here, folks <smiles>. Been reading the list for a while, and 
meant to make replies earlier, but just didn't get around to it--you know 
how it goes.

I must say that I like the idea of Jason Carter as Sirius, having been fond 
of him since he first showed up on B5. <g> Btw, his appearance as a nasty 
huge snake-like monster was on 'Buffy', not 'Angel', but yes, no one would 
have known without seeing the name in the credits! <g>

Errr... um.  Sorry, but the snake-man was Robin Atkin Downes, 'Buffy'
2nd season (I think).  He's the one who showed up as Lyta's
psychic-rebel boyfriend in the last B5 season.

Jason's part was on an ep of 'Angel' which just re-ran this... past
Sunday?  Sunday week?  Character's name was 'Repo-Man', and he wore
full latex and contacts, but kept his own lower-half-of-body ;D

Hey, just wondering, but did anyone else think "young Tom Hanks" 
when they saw that pic of Christian?  Or maybe even "vague 
resemblence to Colin Hanks"?  Maybe its just me...

Those Nimbus 2001's are awesome! Kudos to the people that designed 
it...I honestly didn't see them that way after reading the 
description in the book, but what's wrong with a little artistic 
licence every now and then?

Someone else on the list suggested an Irish Wolfhound. Having been at dog 
shows and coursing events and seen this breed up close, they are very tall, 
and do look a little bulky, but some of that is just the coat, although 
they seem to have a good rib spring, as do most sight hounds (greyhounds, 
russian wolfhounds, whippets, aghans, saluki, etc.).

Perhaps the smaller "cousin", the Scottish deerhound, could be considered. 
They have a rough coat like the Irish Wolfhound, and do come in a nice dark 
blue-grey colour. As a smaller dog than the IW, they usually have better 
movement.

Here's the offical breed site in the US:

http://www.deerhound.org/

On the other hand, IW do come in the black coat. Here's the US breed standard:

Thanks for the info, corgi. <g> I rechecked my tapes afterwards. <g>

Okay, everybody take a deep breath.  There.  You may now resume your
regularly scheduled drooling. :)  Anyway, one thing that amazed me was how
Lucius and Draco have almost exactly the same smirk in those pictures!
Definitely a father and son. :)

Okay, I am apparently way out of touch with reality here, can somebody find
me a picture of Jason Carter on B5?  I can't place him and it's really
bothering me!  Perhaps there is a hole in my mind . . . ;)

Richelle, I've got a bunch of Jason Carter links on the campaign page,
including his official fan club site; I'd recommend 'The Ladies
Who...' page especially.

I also just found 'Jason Carter's Crew' as a Yahoo group, and a cheery
bunch of fans they are. :)  They've got some pix as well.

Okay, the loud "klunk" you just heard was me falling off my chair.  You
should've warned me that Sirius Black would be staring at me if I went to
that site!!  Okay, in a manner of speaking you did. :)  All right, I didn't
really fall off my chair, just almost.  I do remember him now, Marcus, dear
Marcus.  <sigh>  It seems there was a hole in my mind, but it's fixed now.
:)  Okay, I've got the link saved, I'll write letters.  What do I say?!?
While I'm at it I'm writing to insist Daniel Radcliffe remain forever more
Harry Potter, so long as he wants to.  Anyone joining me?

Richelle

P.S. Is there a Warner Bros address to write to?  I didn't see one on the
list.

Hmmm... OK, I'll post a sketchy letter format under separate cover.

No, I don't have one.  Who at Warner corporate would be that closely
involved with casting?  (At least, that was my thought process.)  If
you can think of somebody who should reasonably be petitioned about
this, I'll go digging, certainly. :)

I also don't have the casting director, but that's because they
haven't chosen their new one yet.  Karen Lindsay-Stewart, poor thing,
got dumped after two whole movies-worth of work for them <shrug>.

Subject: Cast Jason Carter campaign - sample letter
Message-ID: <ale5rt+qpb4@eGroups.com>

Here's a rough idea of how to write to Misters Cuaron and Columbus
(remember to write out in full all abbreviations, eh?):

Dear Mr. [name],

I would like to suggest an actor whom I feel would be excellent
casting in 'HP and PoA'. Jason Carter is {'rant' on about Jason,
playing up his Britishness, range, major character in major TV series,
etc.}.

In my opinion, he would be perfect as 'Sirius Black' in the upcoming
Harry Potter production. Jason Carter looks just like how I visualise
the character; many of my friends who have also read the book think
the same.

Jason is represented in the United States by:
 Mitchell K. Stubbs
 8675 West Washington Boulevard, Suite 203 
 Culver City, CA 90232
 Telephone: (310) 838 1200
 Fax: (310) 838 1245

Sincerely (or whatever your fav. closing is),

<signature>
<typed name>
-----
Now, this is just to give you a vague idea. I'm sure you can do
better. :D Just like in writing a network to try to get a show
renewed, the important things are to be sober, polite, GRAMMATICAL,
and businesslike. SPELLING COUNTS. :)

And please, either send copies to Mitchell Stubbs, or write a separate
letter to him -- he doesn't need to be convinced, but he DOES need to
know how much support there is out there.

Thanks!

Yes, I read that also.  She said she's given some of the actors some
background information on their characters that hadn't been revealed yet,
and specifically mentioned Robbie Coltrane and Alan Rickman.  I'm not sure
if this was before or after Book 4 was published, though.  Anyone know for
certain?  If not, she may have just told them the basic info we know from
that, Hagrid being a giant and so on, and Snape having been a death eater.
But if it was after, boy would I like to know what she shared. :)

I beleive the article was in TIME Magazine and appeared before the

published.

5'7" at 13. So it could have been a lot worse :-)

2) Dumbledore says specifically in CoS: When Lord V.
resurfaced after his years in the wilderness, very few
people connected him with the *handsome Head Boy* Tom
Riddle. So, Tom's cute, clean looks fit him perfectly
well - and he has exactly the sort of looks that we
can expect Dan to grow into ...

I'm sure most of you have heard about this already, but I haven't seen
anything about it on-list, so I thought I'd post it.  On Thursday night,
the WB's new series with Tim Curry is premiering, "Family Affair". 
Sometime in the middle, they'll be showing a new COS trailer with
never-before-seen footage!  Check your local listings for showing times.

That was my immediate thought also, but my husband told me not to 
panic and pointed out to me that the pictures in Vanity Fair weren't 
true scenes taken from the film, but simply groups of the actors 
posed for the Vanity Fair photographer to give us a good impression 
of the sets, costumes, props etc, and how things are going to look in 
the film.  I hope he's right.

However, as far as the other pictures go, I think the mandrake looks 
really good, and I spent quite a while trying to read the titles on 
some of the books in Flourish & Blotts.  The sign for "Elf and 
Safety" made me laugh.

Katy, they don't even have the production office open yet -- not until
late October at the earliest. :)  They have no casting director at
last check, which means they haven't cast several parts, like...

[several group members know what's coming]

...SIRIUS BLACK, who really really needs to be played by Jason Carter!
(Katy, wanna help write letters?)

So the short answer is 'no'.  I think they start in the early spring.

Since this is a publicity shot, and most likely not an actual scene 
from the film, my instinct is that it doesn't.  It just looks odd for 
those of us who know the story.

Various posts have mentioned Vanity Fair's pictures and I think someone else has asked too.  Is the magazine out?  Which issue is it?  Is it current? If so, I will send my other half off on a Harry hunt through central London tomorrow, so any information would be greatly appreciated.

Ref: The Leaky Cauldron site, I rather liked the pictures in Flourish & Blotts, although I think Branagh does not suit light blue at all, strange for a blonde!  But, having heard Fry read Gilderoy Lockhart I can imagine his pseud's tones even now.  Ah well, at least we can count the days to CoS opening :-)

I suspect that with the casting of the characters for PoA, for which an impresive number of men have been put forward, I suppose we are going to have to adopt the stoical attitude of those in the HPfGU *book* department and simply sit on our hands, (unless you are Corgi and are busy, pen in hand....) and wait and wait.  Although I read a rumour at Ananova about Bloomsbury announcing the publication date this week, and it is only Monday....

Sophia, they don't - as far as I know - have a new casting director, 
nor plan on hiring one until the production office actually opens up 
in late October or thereabouts.

Depending on what you're writing about (Jason, maybe? Please??), you 
can get some relevant contact info from 
http://www.SFF.net/people/Corgi/JasonCarter/addresses.htm .

I'll be posting the production office/casting director info both in 
the Jason campaign page and here when they're open 
for ... 'pestering'. ;) (joking, honest, no pestering intended)

I was just at the Leaky Cauldron and they announced that this 
Thursday, the WB channel will show the second Harry Potter CoS 
trailer!

Please go to:  http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/  to read all about 
it.

I'll be watching (even though I wish it was a different show) with 
VCR remote control in hand!

PS - this is where a West Coaster will beg the East Coasters to give 
us a heads up on the approx time they show this - so we can be extra 
prepared and not use any commercial breaks to use the restroom, go 
to the fridge, etc!  Puh-leeeese? ;)

Hi everyone,

I'm brand new to the list and have been trying to play
catch-up via the message archives. I came to the Potter
books after seeing the movie, so for me the actors are
pretty dead on in terms of my picturing them when reading. 

I think the big exceptions will be with CoS after just
seeing the latest pictures on the Leaky Cauldron site. Does
anyone else think the Tom Riddle character looks too "nice"
to become Voldemort?

It was a thrill hearing that Jason Isaacs would be Lucius
Malfoy since he was so deliciously evil in "The Patriot"
but who on earth decided on that long blond hair? Blond
maybe, but the slicked back long style in that picture is
godawful. Hopefully it will look better on screen once he's
doing his dastardly stuff.

Hmm...before the Mods send me a Howler, let me
clarify that this is a legitimate offering
sanctioned by Warner Home Video.  Forgot to
mention that in my last post, didn't I?  My
apologies.

This is the first time Warner Bros. has made its
films available for download to users' PC's but
supposedly, it won't be the last.  Another
video-on-demand service named Movielink will
probably get to distribute WHV movies too but no
one seem sure when that service is going live.

<snip>I'm sure most of you have heard about this already, but I haven't seen 
anything about it on-list, so I thought I'd post it.  On Thursday night, the 
WB's new series with Tim Curry is premiering, "Family Affair". Sometime in 
the middle, they'll be showing a new COS trailer with never-before-seen 
footage!  Check your local listings for showing times.<end snip>


I remember when they did this with "Reba" last year, and they showed it at 
the final commercial break...my apologies to those of you who enjoy the 
show, but thank heavens it is only a 1/2 hour show..."Family Affair" is 
scheduled to be 1 hour long *sigh* as much as I like Tim Curry *sigh*...for 
those of you with sattelites, the Leaky Cauldron has posted the co-ordinates 
for the feed...


back to lurkdom I go :)

Welcome Barbara.  I think I work on the premise that nice looking people can't possibly turn into mass!serial!megalomanical wizarding killers. however, in this case it seems he does!!  Ah well.

Secondly, I have been racking my brains for days (yest it takes that long) to remember who Lucius Malfoy, the splendidly and evilly blonde Jason Isaacs, reminds of then I remembered - Rik Mayall - in this case in smug, smooth and bleached blonde mode.  Maybe I am alone in this, ah well, never mind.

  Hi everyone,

  I'm brand new to the list and have been trying to play
  catch-up via the message archives. I came to the Potter
  books after seeing the movie, so for me the actors are
  pretty dead on in terms of my picturing them when reading. 

  I think the big exceptions will be with CoS after just
  seeing the latest pictures on the Leaky Cauldron site. Does
  anyone else think the Tom Riddle character looks too "nice"
  to become Voldemort?

  It was a thrill hearing that Jason Isaacs would be Lucius
  Malfoy since he was so deliciously evil in "The Patriot"
  but who on earth decided on that long blond hair? Blond
  maybe, but the slicked back long style in that picture is
  godawful. Hopefully it will look better on screen once he's
  doing his dastardly stuff.

<sigh> Rik Mayall... so excellently twisted. <sigh>  They should hire 
him for... something.  Somebody.  But not Moody, Moody really MUST be 
Billy Connolly.

So!  Do I have any takers to pitch Michael Praed as Remus Lupin, with

Corgi! <raises eyebrows in utter astonishment> 

Is Michael Praed still around then?  I had never thought of him as a possible!  Not sure where I thought he had gone though (maybe Azkaban.....?) ;-)

I think Mayall would be be very very good Moody material, however, myth and legend has it that he was down as the voice of Peeves the *extinguished from the film on grounds of cost* poltergeist, so would that rule him out????? 

Billy Connolly lacks the sinister element that I am sure your average auror has and which Mayall could definitely conjure up, but that's just a personal thing so no-one get upset OK?.  No, I'm not saying his is not a fine actor.  After all your average auror rubs shoulders with the weirdest people in the course of a day's work and paranoia cannot have been the only thing to have rubbed off so Mayall could do a splendid sinister, with a dash of the humane when necessary.

I haven't seen him in ages and ages but if memory serves he
doesn't seem the Lupin type. Sirius maybe, Severus for sure
(if Rickman hadn't turned into the Ultimate Snape)

 > Billy Connolly lacks the sinister element that I am sure
> your average auror has>>

For me Connolly has a bit of the sinister in him, but I
think a most excellent Moody would be found in Donald
Sutherland.  He's got the look and he does such wonders
with characters who are seriously skirting the realms of
control and sanity. 
 Christopher Walken comes to mind as another with that
speciality.

And I would _love_ to see Jeremy Irons as someone, anyone,
preferably a nasty type. (yes I do have a thing for "bad
boys" <grin>)

Hmm, well, I kind of like a deliciously cute killer.  Wait, I do't actually
like any killer.  Don't get me wrong.  But if there's a killer, well, never
mind.  Though I must say, Tom Riddle looks way older than sixteen.  Of
course, since he's 23, I guess so.

Also, have y'all seen the promo poster/background with Harry and Draco and
their broomsticks?  Tom Felton hasn't grown an inch, he's starting to look
short. :)

Try this one:

http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Heights/8116/

Next question, have y'all downloaded the "new" trailer on IRC?  It looks, as
The Leaky Cauldron comments, like a TV spot, but does have a couple of
different scenes.  Shown so briefly, of course, one has no clue what they're
seeing.  There is one very fast part where Harry is in a red sweater and
crawling out from under something (maybe, it's hard to tell), reaching his
hand out, someone is reaching toward him with their hand.  I can't place
what on Earth this could be.  Anybody have an idea?  It's driving me nuts!

Thanks, Richelle!  You know, he might be okay...I'll need to see

Richelle, that looks like the part in the book where Ron, Fred and 
George are trying to rescue Harry from the Dursley house.  Doesn't 
it?  I saw Harry reaching his hand out and it looked like he was in 
a window....or somewhere.  Heh, I need to watch it again!

OhDearGod YES, quite around!  After the tragedy of 'Dynasty', he did
some American TV movies, a bad SF movie, a couple of stage musicals,
then... [reverent music swells up] 'The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne'.

Mmmmm... Donald. :)  Only problem -- Donald's Canadian (or
naturalised American, I'm not sure which) and Walken is definitely
American.  But you're right about the type, certainly.

Ditto, lighten his hair, even though it's naturally very pewtery
at this point.  He's been singing since he was just a child ;), so
he's got a wonderful, /shaped/ voice, resonant, baritone, and lovely
to listen to.  It's his musical instrument, so he knows how to play
it very well.

Z'par servu, Alora.  Michael Praed image links coming up.

start from:
http://www.michaelpraed.org/chm/ncar.htm ...
(there's several pages previous to this, but a lot is from when he was
a good bit younger, and, while desperately decorative, aren't relevant
to our discussion) 
...paying especial attention to the nice, casual B&Ws on
http://www.michaelpraed.org/chm/npup.htm, and the images of him as
Phileas Fogg (his most recent genre work) starting with
http://www.michaelpraed.org/chm/np1.htm.

Thank you for the Michael Praed links. I stand corrected in
my earlier opinion of htinkign he wouldn't "fit" as a
contemporary of Rickman's Snape. The pics of him as Phileas
make him look very much the way I pictured Lupin.

On the Jeremy Irons as someone, anyone subject--There has
to be a part for him. I just can't think of any specific
characters he would be perfect as.

Man, I love it when my fandoms collide.  I, too, am a huge SAJV 
fan.  I can't believe Michael didn't occur to me, but now that he's 
been mentioned I'm going to be so disappointed if he isn't Lupin!

We might get an even better response to these links if we mention 
that the "chm" in the address stands for CHEST-HAIR MOMENTS, and 
Michael is thus in various stages of undress in most of them, up to 
and including starkers (though with the usual clever camera angles 
to avoid actually showing anything naughty).

Ewan and Jason and Michael, oh my!

Moody does have to have his moments of extremity and now I vacillate as I have also seen Billy Connolly in Mrs Brown where he was the acme of sensitivity.  I'm just glad Rickman is Snape, everyone else comes a (very) close third.

  Man, I love it when my fandoms collide.  I, too, am a huge SAJV 
  fan.  I can't believe Michael didn't occur to me, but now that he's 
  been mentioned I'm going to be so disappointed if he isn't Lupin!

  We might get an even better response to these links if we mention 
  that the "chm" in the address stands for CHEST-HAIR MOMENTS, and 
  Michael is thus in various stages of undress in most of them, up to 
  and including starkers (though with the usual clever camera angles 
  to avoid actually showing anything naughty).

Goodness, I can't believe that no one has mentioned the first thing I ever 
saw MP in, which was that Robin Hood series. <g> Here in the USA, it was on 
Showtime in the mid 80s. At one time, some of the eppies were released on 
video. Years later, when I saw him in the Sci-Fi channel's Jules Verne 
show, I almost didn't recognize him at first.

He might do as Lupin, as I haven't got any better ideas at the moment, but 
I see Lupin as more of a small, brown, self-effacing sort of person. Not 
sure that the book really says anything like this, it's just more of a 
personality impression.

I recently started reading "Midnight's Children" by Salman Rushdie
for a second time, and was a little surprised to come across two
familiar names: Padma and Parvati.  Now, these characters are not
related, nor are the last names similar to the ones we know from
Hogwarts. They're just two fairly important minor characters.

So does anyone know where JKR got the idea for the names of these two
characters? "Midnight's Children" is not Rushdie's most famous work
(that would be "Satanic Verses", for which some people tried to kill
him), but it is certainly possible that she has read the book. Or
maybe Padma and Parvati are just two interesting Indian names that
JKR liked? Any ideas?

I almost forgot: what makes this more interesting is that Parvati, in "Midnight's Children" is a witch; a real one who can do magic. She is usually referred to as "Parvati-the-witch".  No such luck with Padma, though.

I'm puzzled, did anyone think otherwise at any stage?  Knowing HPfGU they probably did but maybe if it had been a chap she would have called him Sinistro or something (apolgies to those Italian speakers present).  I cannot imagine Moody dancing with a chap, not at Hogwarts!

This is one of the hotter topics over at the regular HPfGU currently 
(or at least the last time I looked). :)  I think the LOON position 
was that there is no canonical proof one way or the other, but most 
people go w/ the childrens-book-conservative position.

Well, of course it had to be on the LAST bloody break of that wretched
show, but the new HP trailer is really, really spiffy looking!  I recorded
it and will be rewatching several times, but a few quick observations.

-The Quidditch match between Harry and Draco looks FABULOUS.

-I ADORE the Howler!  The way it hovers in front of Ron's face and shouts
like a real mouth -- hysterical!

-Lucius sent absolute *shivers* down my spine.  Oh yes, I LIKE this actor.
 He's perfect.

Everything looks just fabulous.  I'm really impressed. :)  More ravings to

I just watched and taped it too.  It does look alot sharper than the
Sorcerer's Stone previews looked.  My sister and I are hoping the howler is
a little bit more booming in the movie theatre; we thought it was going to a
lot louder, but we'll see...its not like its going to ruin the movie for us
or anything. :-)  The only thing I don't like about Lucius is the hair, he
looks too pretty or something.

But the new trailer definitely makes me even more anxious for the movie!  I
can't believe its only 2 months away.

Andrea!  Don't stop there!!  Tell everything, absolutely everything!!!  I
must know!  I've had it recorded, but it'll be several days before it
arrives from Florida, seeing as WB is not available here.  <grr>  So I must
know, must know.  Do they show the phoenix?  I'm just dying to see the
phoenix.  I doubt they'll let that one get out, though.

In other things, anyone know when a real poster comes out?  I know there are
the banners of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, and Dumbledore, and then
there's the teaser poster of Dobby, surely there's another to come?  When?

No, I didn't spot Fawkes anywhere.  They DID show the Polyjuice Potion (I
don't know HOW Harry & Ron swallowed it -- ugh!!) and the transformation
into Crabbe and Goyle.  VERY amusing.

They obviously took a lot of liberties with the Flying Ford Anglia, but
Harry dangling by one arm over the Hogwarts Express IS a pretty cool shot.
 And acromantula claws ripping into it over the boys' heads is another
amazing one!  

All in all, I'm just amazingly impressed with the whole thing.  I don't
really care for Dobby, but that's just a personal preference.  And I don't
think Colin looks scrawny enough, or is that just my mental image? 
Anyway, it's a great trailer, and makes me look forward to the movie even
MORE!  Can I live until November?  We'll see. :)

Do you mean the acromantula claws ripping into the ford?  I thought it was the Whomping Willow beating the car, but I guess it's not absolutely clear since both might happen in the movie(I don't remember Aragog destroying the car).

No, you're right, it's the Whomping Willow.  It's a very dark scene, so I
didn't quite catch it until I looked very closely.  Mea culpa!

I thought the preview was great, too, although I liked the first one 
better (even though I could only see it on my computer screen!).

Lockhart is going to be hilarious!

Where is the snow scene with the horse-drawn carriages in the book?

Lucius doesn't look anything like I pictured him, and my 6 year old 
son said the same thing even before I had mentioned this to him.

I had also expected a much larger snake appearing from Malfoy's wand 
in the duelling club.

One of the pictures on the Leaky Cauldron website has me confused - 
it shows Colin, Harry, Ron and Madam Pomfrey standing around a bed on 
which a petrified Hermione is laying.  Wasn't Colin the first human 
to be petrified in the book?  Did they change the petrification 
sequence in the movie (there is another picture of Colin petrified, 
so I don't think this got dropped)?

Well, I just got to see it today, downloaded it this morning. I LOVE IT!!!!  
Okay, the flying car scene has obviously been altered, but it still looks 
really neat when Harry goes flying out of the car and is hanging over Hogwarts 
Express.  But how on Earth does he get back in?  I guess he climbs back up, 
must be stronger than he looks. 

> Lockhart is going to be hilarious!

Amen.

> Where is the snow scene with the horse-drawn carriages in the book?

I don't know, but it sure is pretty. :)

I think they made his hair too light.  White blond, more than blonde.  But he 
sounds vicious enough "Let us hope Mr. Potter will always be around to save the 
day." :)  Though I must say I LOVE Harry's comeback.  "Don't worry, I will 
be."  Hope it stays that way in the movie.

> I had also expected a much larger snake appearing from Malfoy's wand

That one was about what I'd pictured.  Once he raises up to strike I imagine 
he'll be big enough.

That picture is from a Vanity Fair photo shoot.  So I don't think it's in the 
movie like that.  Those pictures were taken July 19th, and I think they just 
arranged characters on sets to get an general overview.  And just threw Colin 
in there cause he's such a cutie.  (I do LOVE that little boy!  Though I never 
pictured Colin quite that cute.  I just want to pinch his cheeks!)

Anyway, last year's Vanity Fair had photos that weren't from movie scenes, like

I thought the preview was great, too, although I liked the first one 
better (even though I could only see it on my computer screen!).

Lockhart is going to be hilarious!

Where is the snow scene with the horse-drawn carriages in the book?

Lucius doesn't look anything like I pictured him, and my 6 year old 
son said the same thing even before I had mentioned this to him.

I had also expected a much larger snake appearing from Malfoy's wand 
in the duelling club.

One of the pictures on the Leaky Cauldron website has me confused - 
it shows Colin, Harry, Ron and Madam Pomfrey standing around a bed on 
which a petrified Hermione is laying.  Wasn't Colin the first human 
to be petrified in the book?  Did they change the petrification 
sequence in the movie (there is another picture of Colin petrified, 
so I don't think this got dropped)?

I agree completely - it's gorgeous!  Perhaps it's showing the 
departure or return of students to Hogwarts to/from the Christmas 
holidays?

CoS describes Lucius as having "sleek gray hair" (at least in the US 
edition; the UK edition doesn't have this reference) so I had 
pictured a businessman rather than a rock star.  Although I saw a 
picture of the actor who will be playing Fudge, and he looks 
*exactly* as I had pictured Fudge!

Thanks for the clarification on the photo shoot - that makes sense.

As the Ford Anglia rescues Ron and Harry near the end when Aragog has returned to his lair, I would probably have thought the same thing.  

However, I shall await the availability of a download, living in the UK this is one of the very few times I regret I do not have access to more than a handful of terrestrial channels, OK so I never watch them anyway.... ;-) but never mind.....

No, you're right, it's the Whomping Willow.  It's a very dark scene, so I
didn't quite catch it until I looked very closely.  Mea culpa!

Given the song and dance that rose when Daniel's voice broke, why isn't everyone wringing their hands because Rupert Grint's voice obviously has too, and it does sound rather nice.

I too must confess that I'm surprised the snake is not much much bigger, canon says nothing about size, but I would have thought a large snake would have been more *fun* maybe the CG budget ran out!!

Finally, I'm glad Lucius Malfoy is not down as greying in the UK edition he would run the risk of being a real city type here in the UK

Come come Rachel, get a grip, WHY do you hate dear little Draco's hair QUITE so much?

I had him down as a brunette originally, in spite of *wot JKR wrote* and still can't get rid of the image.  Still I cannot match your vehemence against the poor chaps hair!  One thing did occur to me though, is Tom Felton's hair naturaly blond or did it come from a bottle.  It does look unnaturally pristine (even I can't get it mine colour...) so I have often wondered if it is natural, as the only people I ahve met with such *interestingly* coloured hair are Scandanavians.  Does any one know?

Not that it will help Rachel..................;-)

Subject: The "hairy" situation....and the Whomping Willow
Message-ID: <D9406D790C@lincoln.treasurer.ohio-state.edu>

It just looks....stupid.  Tom is such an adorable kid and 
his facial expressions can do Draco right without that 
slicked back hair.  It looks ridiculous.  Like....he's not 
wealthy enough to own or smart enough to operate a hair 
dryer.  It looks like it needs to be washed.  The only time 
in SS that it looked OK was when he was in McG's office 
chuckling to Harry, Ron and Hermione losing 50 points each. 
 
But this slicked back like a pimp is just.... *sigh*  

He is a blondie but not THAT blonde.  I don't think it was 
that blonde in Anna and the King.

I don't know...am I missing something in the books?  Does 
it say somewhere that Draco has oil drenched hair?  I 
always pictured it short on the bottom but rather longish 
in the front so it's in his eyes a bit.  HA! Like Tom's 
REAL hair, I guess!

So...that's my complaint.  It's held over from seeing the 
trailer for the first movie over a year ago.  It's just 
festered into today's "Let's whine about...." subject.

And yes, "my" whomping willow was MUCH fuller and the 
branches reached the ground.  I was picturing a butched up 
Weeping Willow, I guess.

Now me:

Perhaps I'm too much of a purist to be participating in this list, 
but I did *not* like this interchange, primarily because it's nowhere 
to be found in the text of CoS and it's something Lucius would 
*never* say in the true Potterverse.  Plus, Harry *isn't* always able 
to save the day - he couldn't stop Voldemort from recorporating 
himself in GoF or Wormtail from killing Cedric.  This makes me wonder 
if they're not planning any more movies after PoA (since Harry *does* 
save the day in PoA).

I suppose the scriptwriters needs to come up with new lines to earn 
their paychecks, but IMO the best lines in the first movie were those 
that came right from the text (the scene in Ollivander's wand shop 
comes immediately to mind).  JKR's dialogue is superb - why mess with 
it?

Just MHO.

I noticed that, too, and I like the way both Daniel and Rupert's

me again:

I think it's a combination of the snake's diminutive (IMO) size and 
the way it just seems to flop on the ground that's disappointing me.  
I had imagined a large snake uncoiling itself from the end of Draco's 
wand in Harry's direction.  The snip from the movie makes it look 
like a prop person just threw a rubber snake onto the ground!

Thanks for the clarification - it was hard to tell who that was, but 
it's consistent with the text if Snape blasts Lockhart.

I know I'm a bit late on this, but in the first trailer doesn't 
Malfoy make Harry do a backwards cartwheel during the duelling club 
scene?  It was hard for me to tell since I was watching it on my

Ah, right, OK  <thinks hard - reverberations are heard in New York City.........)  

For City Type read suit!shirt!tie, company executive, in Lucius' case read CEO, smart business type, sophisticated street savvy New Yorker with multo mucho extra oomph (believe me Lucius has it in spades, hearts and diamonds..........).  Things clearer now??? <raises hopeful eyebrow....>

A second thought, on the greasy hair front of *fair Draco*.  The fashion with a lot of young English boys at a friend's grandson's school is for dress down Friday clothes AND hair, this often means slicked back locks for everyone, with would fit in with Draco's current slithery Slytherin look.

I think he just blasts him backwards, he'snot THAT clever.  After all he was prompted to use the snake spell by Severus. 

I know canon has Lockhart bested comprehensively by Severus Snape, which has me in fits of laughter.  Much as it goes against my upbringing to laugh at the suffering of others the tumble is quite spectacular and I wonder if it was enhanced with special effects or simply a stunt man.

Subject: Tom Felton's hair
Message-ID: <alti2g+otn7@eGroups.com>

Someone was asking about the natural color of Tom Felton's hair.  I 
watched "Anna and the King"  a while back, where he portrays Jodie 
Foster's son, Louis.  In that movie he has what looks to be 
strawberry blonde hair.  As always, he's adorable (closet Draco fan 
here) :D.  Also, in the pictures of him in "The Borrowers", he also 
has that strawberry blondish hair.  Anyway, I thought I would 
mention that.  I can't wait for NOVEMBER!


Alora

Wouldn't it be cool to get a  howler, even if it is for a not so 
good reason?  I want one! :D

Has anyone been able to confirm if there will be a behind-the-scenes 
tonight on Access Hollywood?  That would be awesome!  I can't wait 
until the cast start doing the Talk Show circuits! :)

Very excited,

Now me again:

I just watched this part several times in slow motion and I don't 
think Snape is doing the blasting, because his hands are down while 
the person in front of him is spinning in mid-air (his hands go up as 
the person is about to hit the ground).  My guess is that this scene 
is showing Harry blasting Draco Malfoy with an Expelliarmus.  In the 
snake-throwing scene, Draco is in front of Snape, with Harry on the 
other side.

Which would make me very happy, especially if Draco is shown blasting 
Harry (contrary to what *really* happened in CoS!).

Felicia butts in <again>

It's amazing what ou find out about Quick Time I have downloaded trailer 2 and blown it up to full screen (17 ins)and managed to freeze frame it when the figure is spinning in the air.  It has fair hair so must be Lockhart and Snape's hands are for a moment up in front of him before he puts them down, after all he would not want to be seen to be trying too hard, and crucially there is no-one stodd beside him.

only too pleased to see dear Severus on screen again......

The spinning guy is Draco. He's spinning *toward* Snape, if Snape is 
blasting Lockhart why would he be spinning that way?! (I've seen 
another footage before that shows Snape blasting Lockhart, Lockhart 
fly backward and spin differently). 
I check frame by frame and it is indeed Draco who's spinning (his 
clothes are dark, while Lockhart's clothes are light color).
so definitely it's Harry's spell, NOT Snape.

It's funny I have checked the film and can't see anyone stood beside Snape, its really strange.

I know when Draco gets Harry with the spell it's as though Harry is hit in the stomach with a heavy weight and he shoots backwards, not spinning, at least it is in trailer one on my hard disk.......

If it is Draco being as the victim of Harry's Expelliarmus spell, can be take this as revenge for his being a *slicked back* Slytherin.  Just think what it must be doing for hair products at the junior end of the market!!!  

Love his dad though, fast forward through the clip just to get to that bit!!

No it isn't just you.  I do not see Harry being that defiant until
GoF.  However, let's not forget that this is the trailer.  Film
companies tend to take a piece here and a piece there and merge them
together as if they belong together, but in actuality, they don't.

We will just have to go to the movie in TWO MONTHS(!) and see for
ourselves.  ;-)

I teach at a school that has a fairly large Indian and Pakistani 
population, and Padma is a fairly common girl's name there.  Parvati 
was probably chosen because it went with it, as the names are 
mythologically related.

That doesn't, of course, mean that Rowling _hasn't_ read Rushdie's 
book - just that it probably wasn't the primary inspiration . . .

Has anyone been able to figure out what is breaking out of the statue 
of Slytherin's face?  I think this was in the first trailer, and it 
also appears right before WB aired the preview last Thursday night.  
Someone asked whether Fawkes was in the trailer - do you think Fawkes 
arrives on the scene by breaking through the statute?  I tried 
playing this in slow-motion and I still can't tell what's breaking 
out of there.

Felton is himself blonde, but not *that* blonde - as Draco, his hair 
is seriously frosted.  IIRC, his hair color in _Anna and the King_ is 
his natural color, sort of sandy.

However, the frosted white-gold is _exactly_ the color I imagined it 
to be from JKR's description, even if I hadn't pictured it quite that 
slicked-back (he looks like Dracula, Jr. that way), so I'm not 
complaining.

Who ever mention that there is someone standing besides Snape?
There should be four people on the platform: Snape-Draco vs. Harry-
Lockhart. And what we've shown on that "spinning" sequence, it is 
from Harry's POV looking at Draco (being hit and spinning in the air 
backward--thus toward Snape) with Snape behind him.
I've uploaded a screenshot in the "Photo" section 
named "01_spinning.jpg". I think this is the shot that you guys are 
takling about. It's pretty clear and obvious that the spinning figure 
is Draco, with his black student rope, black grey-ish students 
uniform and blonde hair. 
I'm not sure if you have seen the previous screenshots from HPIRC (a 
mysterious trailer NOT officially released by WB). Lockhart and Snape 
seem to have their "rope" taken off beforehand when they demonstrate 
the spell. Lockhart was in white shirt, golden vest and brown pants.

Okay. Enough. I felt a psychic call to go through my email, this must have
been it--my inner L.O.O.N. alerting me.

<Binns mode>
Harry does not cast Expelliarmus in the duelling scene. Snape casts it at
Lockhart and blasts him against the wall. Harry doesn't cast this until he
uses it on Lockhart, when he and Ron go to confront him before going down
into the pipes (on p. 220, and at that point Harry confirms they learned it
from Snape--here.)

After the students are all paired off, here's the order of Harry's/Draco's
spells:
--Malfoy starts on "two" and hits Harry; it doesn't say what spell it was,
but it "his spell hit Harry so hard he felt as though he'd been hit over the
head with a saucepan." (p. 143).
--Harry casts Rictusempra at Malfoy, which shoots silver light at him and
hits him in the stomach and doubles him over, "wheezing"; this is identified
as a Tickling Charm on the next page. Harry hangs back, "with a vague
feeling it would be unsporting to bewitch Malfoy while he was on the floor."
Wrong.
--Malfoy manages to get Tarantallegra out, which makes Harry dance.
At this point the room in in chaos, Hermione and Millicent are fighting,
Ron's broken wand has done something awful to Seamus, Snape casts Finite
Incantatem, and the first exchange is over.

Then Lockhart decides to teach the students how to block spells, and wants a
volunteer pair, and Snape suggests Harry and Draco. This is where Draco asks
Harry if he's scared. Harry does not cast anything in this; Draco casts
Serpensotia very quickly, and then we have the interchange with the snake.
</Binns mode>

Okay, as for the movie. I really think they have to leave a lot of this in,
or manage to work it in at other points. This whole scene is very important
for plot points:
--this is where Harry, Ron, and Hermione *learn* Expelliarmus, even if they
don't cast it; they picked it up from Snape, here. So I think we'll see
Snape blasting Lockhart with Expelliarmus, because the usage of that spell
is important in subsequent scenes in this and other books.
--this is where Hermione picks up Millicent's cat hair. Unless the movie
makers have it be a random cat hair, and not Millicent's; or perhaps
Hermione and Millicent will interact differently. Point is, the cat hair is
also very important to the story, and whatever form the getting of it takes,
it will likely happen here.
--this is where the readers are alerted to how serious the problems with
Ron's wand are. We already know it doesn't work; now we see it can be a
danger. This is a significant instance in the drumbeat of "Ron's wand is
unreliable," in that it presages its backfiring on Lockhart later. Unless
they work this in somewhere else too, we ought to see some malfunction of
Ron's wand here.

My prediction: I hope I'm wrong, but I'm betting they'll cut the first
exchange with the many students paired off, and have first Snape/Lockhart
and then Harry/Draco up on that little runway thing. Especially since, from
what we've seen, it seems there's a lot more Harry/Draco spells happening up
on the runway than occur in the second exchange in the book. The cat hair
and Ron's wand can doubtless be worked in or reinforced some other way. I
think the main points that come out of that scene are (1) Expelliarmus and
(2) Harry is a parselmouth, and they can cover those even if the first
exchanges are left out.

I also am really hoping that they leave Snape/Lockhart in to establish that
Snape doesn't like Lockhart, to lay the groundwork for the staffroom scene,
one of my very favorites. Please o please o please let them have that one in
there, too!

Anyway.

Phyllis -

I re-watched the first trailer in slo-mo and it doesn't appear that 
something breaks out of the statue but parts of it does break off. 
When the stone breaks there isn't a hole underneath so I'm don't 
think Fawkes could have broken through.  Also, Harry is holding the 
sword so Fawkes must be around there somewhere.  I'm like you! I'm 
wondering how Fawkes made it down there and I'm really anxious to 
see what he looks like.

Excited,

Thanks - I had not noticed that Harry had the sword at that point. 
Perhaps they're adding something in the movie that's not in the book 
that makes the statute break, like Riddle throwing a curse?

Hopefully they'll have Fawkes appearing in a burst of flame as in the 
book.

I also hope they have the sword come out of the hat - the first 
trailer has Harry getting it from on top of a rock.  It's very 
important to me that the sword come out of the hat, since it's 
Gryffindor's sword and the Sorting Hat was once Gryffindor's hat.

Glad to know I'm not alone.  It wasn't Harry's defiance that bothered 
me, though - I see him as fairly defiant in CoS (especially when he 
returns the mutilated diary to Lucius and sets Dobby free in the 
process).  It was Lucius' sarcasm that bothered me, because IIRC, 
he's never sarcastic in any of the books.  Draco is often sarcastic, 
but Lucius isn't.  It also bothered me that Harry was so sure he'd 
always be able to save the day when he doesn't save the day in GoF 
and we still have 3 books to go in which we don't yet know whether or 
not he'll save the day (after all, JKR has intimated she may kill him 
off in the end).

Your point about the trailer showing pieces of the film out of 
context is a good one - perhaps this scene won't seem so strange once 
we see it in the movie.

Now me:

I think your prediction is right, based on what we've seen in the 
first two trailers - in the first trailer, Harry's being blasted 
backward and in the second trailer, Draco is spinning in mid-air.  I 
think Harry's casting an Expelliarmus at Draco and Draco is casting 
one back at Harry in the movie.

What I don't like about this change is that the only way Draco can 
get a good spell off on Harry is when he thinks Harry isn't going to 
cast a spell (after Draco's hit with the Tickling Charm) or when he 
starts on the count of two rather than waiting until three.  I'm 
going to be *most* annoyed if they show Draco getting a good spell 
off on Harry fair and square.

I'm also going to be quite disappointed if Rickman doesn't say "Time 
to split up the dream team" to Daniel and Rupert - I just *love* that 
line!

Amanda again:

I think one of the pictures shows Snape blasting Lockhart, so I think 
this will be in there.

Perhaps the ever-clever Hermione will visit the school laundry?

I think we see Ron's malfunctioning wand when he belches slugs in the 
beginning of the book.  Perhaps this will cover it (although I'm 
*most* interested to see how they handle the slugs <evil grin.).

Me again:

I love that scene, too, and I think they'll have to leave it in (or 
at least do a variation), because it's when the teachers tell 
Lockhart to go handle the Chamber monster that sends him packing, and 
I can't see how they can leave that out, since it's what prompts 
Harry and Ron to take Lockhart with them to the Chamber.

I don't think it's supposed to be a prophetic utterance on Harry's part, so
I don't think it has anything to do with whether they will or won't make
more movies after PoA.  Anyway, I think we have to wait and see the context.
Personally, I picture this interchange happening after Harry "tricks" Lucius
into freeing Dobby.  And Harry has saved the day once again.  :)
Considering that Lucius' voice is DRIPPING with sarcasm, I can imagine him
saying it.  And as for Harry's "Don't worry, I will be." It didn't come
across as defiant to me.  It came across more as Harry starting to believe
in himself.  Sort of summing up everything into a single line, as best can
be done.  And IMO, Harry *will* always be around to save the day.  No, he
didn't save Cedric, but he did aid the grief process on the part of his
parents by risking his life to bring back Cedric's body.  And he didn't stop
Voldemort from being reborn, but he was reborn in such a way that he is
alive, not immortal, and can be destroyed.

Well, whoever it is, he is spinning toward Snape.  I think Lockhart should
be moving away from Snape, and I definitely want him to slam into a wall. :)
If that was Lockhart spinning through the air, he's no where near a wall.
And I want the slamming into the wall part!  It's important! :)

Anyway, if Draco blasts Harry enough to send him flying into a double back
somersault in a full layout position, I do hope Harry gets to blast Draco.
Since Harry didn't fly back in the book, Draco might as well get blasted in
the movie, if he gets to blast Harry.

Since in the book the sword actually fell on Harry's head and nearly knocked
him out, I've imagined they'll change it a bit.  Perhaps something like
Fawkes dropping the hat, and the sword falling out onto the rock as Harry
grabs it, then Harry can lunge at it on the rock.  Or something like that.
I just don't think the sword falling onto Harry's head from the hat where
you can't even see what's going on will be kept.  It's not very cinematic.

That's what I'm thinking.  I never pictured Harry being up so high 
on a statue before, not did I ever imagine the lake there.  I guess 
it will help with the suspense element? ;)

I know, I feel the same way.  Plus, the hat is something that Riddle 
laughs at "This is what Dumbledore sends his defender!  A songbird 
and an old hat!"  Let's hope they keep it in!

There is something I can't figure out from the first trailer.  When 
Harry grabs the sword - maybe it was about to fall over in to the 
lake so he grabs it?  But then he thrusts the sword up in the air - 
what is that for?  < hee hee >

Hmmm.  I often felt Lucius was sarcastic.  Remember the scene where 
Fudge comes to take Hagrid to Azkaban and Mr. Malfoy shows up?  He 
tells Dumbledore, "...there'll be no Muggle-borns left at Hogwarts, 
and we all know what an awful loss that would be to the school"  And 
after Dumbledore said the important line (that better be in the 
movie!:) ) "You will find that I will only truly have left this 
school when none here are loyal to me" Mr. Malfoy replies back 
with, "We shall miss your -er - highly individual way of running 
things, Albus, and only hope that your successor will manage to 
prevent any - ah - killins'" <- a mock on the way Hagrid's accent.

Okay, is it my imagination, or is that Slytherin beater actually trying to hit Harry over the head with his bat? (or whatever that thing is called, I've forgotten if it has an official name)  I've watched it over and over, he's swinging it dangerously close to Harry's head, it misses because Harry ducks, and there's no bludger in sight to be swinging at.  How rude.  Isn't that illegal?!  Like Slytherins care.

Second, the more I watch it, the more convinced I am that it is Malfoy flying through the air, not Lockhart.  As the flash of light happens, you can see that Snape's hands are still folded in front of him.  He only moves them as Malfoy begins to flip through the air toward him.  That, and Snape's standing in the exact place that he is when Malfoy sends the snake flying at Harry.  I think he's be up more in the center if he were dueling.

Not sure whether this is a serious question or not, but just in case it is -

I'm pretty sure that's Harry stabbing the basilisk in the mouth.  It 
looks like he's stabbing the air because they haven't CG'ed the 
basilisk in yet (wouldn't want to give _that_ away in the trailer). 
They just thought Radcliffe looked so cool doing it, they put it in 
as a "drama" shot for the trailer . . .

bboy_mn:
As someone else pointed out in another thread, it appears to be Draco.
If you slow motion through that part, it's clear that who ever it is,
is wearing dark robes, has very white blond hair, and is standing a
sort distance in front of Snape. So, my vote is for Draco, or at least
Tom Felton's stunt double.

Hagrid the not so very big giant-

I really think they are falling down on the job in their potrayal of
Hagrid as a half-giant. He is suppose to be 8 to 10 feet tall (2.4M to
3.0Meters; 1 meter=40 inches). That was easy to do when Dan and Rupert
were 11 yrs. old and only came up to Robby Coltrane's waist but now
Dan comes up to Robby/Hagrids shoulder and he hasn't stopped growing. 

It's a shame when you look at what a great job they did in Lord of the
Rings at creating the illusion of tall and short. Even without the
special effects, they could make Hagrid look taller by having him
stand on a box when he stands next to people, and when he walks along
side them, he could walk on a raised platform. How much would that
have cost? The would have only had to use special effects in the
rarest of shots. 

In PoA, they are going to have a hard time maintaining our belief that
Robby/Hagrid is anything but a big but ordinary guy. Also, it somewhat
corrupts the illusion, if in the fourth movie where Hagrid being a
giant is important to the story, he is suddenly 4 feet taller. 

The very ungiant spiders-

Then there are the ridiculously small spiders in the trailer. Maybe we
haven't seen the really big ones yet, but there is one short scene in
the trailer where a spider is crawling toward them and I assume that
this is Aragog. However, this spider isn't even 3 feet tall, and the
spiders that get run over by the car are roughly the same size. These
spiders are suppose to be able to pick Harry and Ron up and carry
them.  These puny spiders don't look up to the task.

In GoF, a spider is suppose to pick Harry up, puncture his leg then
drop him twelve feet so he sprains his ankle. These spider CERTAINLY
aren't up to that job.

Very short sighted on all fronts if you ask me.

Steve asked...
"Sorry, I can only make out part of what Lucius Malfoy says to Harry at
the end of the second/latest trailer. Something about Harry being
around to save the day, but I can't quite catch it all. Is there
someone with better speakers and better hearing that can give me the
full quote?

Not important; just curious.

Thanks for giving me an excuse to watch it again. :) At the end of the
trailer, Lucius Malfoy in all his long-haired glory says, "Let us hope Mr.
Potter will always be around to save the day." To which Harry replies,
"Don't worry, I will be."

Actually, I don't think Dan and Rupert were ever that short.  Not while filming 
HP SS/PS.  The premier pictures from last year show Daniel almost up to 
Robbie's shoulder then.  I personally thought they did a great job with 
Hagrid.  Robbie Coltrane's not exceptionally tall, at 6'1".  Tall, but not THAT 
tall. If Dan and Rupert had been up to his waist they'd have been what, 4 feet 
tall?

I tended to think that the spider in the maze had been, oh, altered a bit.  :)  
And for my purposes, the spider in the clip from the trailer was way bigger 
than anything I want to meet in a dark forest. :)

> Very short sighted on all fronts if you ask me.

If you ask me, the most short sighted, or perhaps purely overlooked thing is 
Harry's lack of green eyes.  I understand if Daniel can't wear contacts, but 
why not edit them green?  It can't be that hard, compared to everything else 
they edit in.  When it becomes important that he has his mother's eyes, will 
they suddenly become green?  Or will they change Lily's eyes to blue? <gasp>

Message-ID: <am4p47+ae3o@eGroups.com>

I agree with bboy that the spiders are much too small.  Even before I 
read the maze scene in GoF, I had imagined much larger spiders in 
CoS.  Based primarily on what CoS tells us in Ch. 15:  "Spiders the 
size of carthorses, eight-eyed, eight-legged, black, hairy, 
*gigantic.*  The *massive* specimen that was carrying Harry..." (my 
emphases).

May I say again that the Serpensortia snake is also much too small 
(and it should be black, not brown/green!).  It needs to bare its 
fangs at Harry and Justin - this snake isn't big enough to have fangs!

Thanks to c (kesa) for pointing out other examples of Lucius' 
sarcasm.  I still don't like the Lucius-Harry exchange at the end of 
the trailer, but I now don't have a rational explanation for it - 
it's just my gut reaction!

I also agree with those who have said the Howler isn't loud enough.  
CoS says "Mrs. Weasley's yells, a *hundred* times louder than usual, 
made the plates and spoons rattle on the table, and schoed 
deafeningly off the stone walls" (Ch. 6).  There's nothing deafening 
about the Howler in the trailer!

I also agree with Richelle about the unfortunate lack of Harry's 
green eyes in the movie.  IIRC, no one mentions how Harry looks like 
his father and has his mother's eyes in the first movie, and I think 
this is a real oversight given how the plot unfolds in PoA.

Someone asked about the Slytherin beater - I'll have to watch the 
trailer again, but I thought that was Fred or George trying to get 
the rogue bludger away from Harry.

On Hagrid's size - I think the first movie was very inconsistent on 
this.  In some scenes, Coltrane towers over others (I'm thinking of 
when Hagrid and Harry are walking through London on their way to 
Diagon Alley and when they are in the train station) while in other 
scenes (primarily at Hogwarts) Coltrane looks almost normal-size. I 
agree with bboy that they could be doing a much better job with this.

My thoughts are still that they are trying to sum up in a single line Harry's 
perceptions.  In the first *movie* for example, Harry scarcely even touches his 
wand. Now he's joined the dueling club, he's not afraid any more to get out 
there and try something.  He believes in himself, and the rest will come.

I sincerely hope they just turned the volume down in the trailer.  Or else Mrs. 
Weasley could yell that loud herself. :)  Maybe louder!

Hagrid is the first to say that Harry looks like his father and has his 
mother's eyes, when he first sees Harry, but in the movie he just says "Well, 
of course you are." But since JKR keeps insisting that there's something 
special about his eyes, I can't understand them leaving it out.  Unless, of 
course, it's special that he has his mother's eyes, not that he has his 
mother's *green* eyes, in which case they could change everybody's eyes to 
blue.  But I wish they'd quit messing with Rupert/Ron's eyes.  What color *are* 
they?  In most pictures they're blue, then I find them grey, which is possible, 
they could change, but then they go and turn them brown! Good grief!

That was me that asked.  I watched it again, and it's definitely a Sytherin.  
There are four Slytherins headed right at Harry and one swings the bat at what 
appears to be Harry's head.  Unless they forgot to edit in a bludger. :)

Ah, well, enough of that.  For now. :)

 He has been a warlock and a forlorn tormented vampire.  Why not a

Alan's age.  He can be soft spoken, as I see Lupin. The golden hair 
would have to go :-)  He is slim, so he could appear gaunt if 
needed.  I don't know how much he has worked with children, but 
as "Nick" in Rose Red he was quite charming and took up for the young

I was thinking that as well, yet I imagined the spiders to be of all 
different shapes and sizes, some a lot larger than others.  I'm sure 
Aragog and some of the other spider-leaders (for lack of a better 
word) will be larger, at least I hope they are.  I have mixed 
emotions about these scenes because,just as Ron is, I'm scared of 
spiders! So maybe my hands will be over my eyes during this scene, 
and I'll have to read a spoiler/review from this group to see if 
they're really that big or not.  < hee- bee- jee- bees shudder >

When I read this portion of the book, I imagined the snake to be 
bigger as well, similar to the one Harry saw at the zoo.  Maybe, 
though, because Draco is still a young Wizard in Training, he 
couldn't produce a large snake yet?  ( just a thought )  And, 
snakes, regardless of size can still be fast and deadly.  I'd freak 
out too, if it came crawling towards me.   I did like the way the 
snake shot out of the wand, though, along with Draco's little spell-
pose choreography. What will be really 
interesting is to hear how Harry speaks to the snake.  Will we hear 
English? Or 
hissing!?

Except they should be six feet tall <falters........> and even Ron won't be afraid unless they are substantially larger than so far seen.

I tend (or hope) towards the feeling that *dear* Lucius is being supercilious more than sarcastic, although I doubt that the exchange takes place, as has been suggested, after Harry has set Dobby free as Lucius would be wildly dishevelled having fallen down a flight or two of stairs as Dobby zaps him for want of a better wordwhen he tries to attack Harry (which is what I Think happens at that time)

Well, actually I picture the exchange to happen right after Dobby is freed and 
before Dobby sends Lucius merrily on his way, tumbling down the stairs.  Which 
MUST be in the movie as well. :)  Anyhow, I just had a thought.  In the book 
there's a line right in the middle of Dobby being freed (as in he's freed, but 
Lucius hasn't yet realized it) where Lucius says "You'll meet the same sticky 
end as your parents one of these days, Harry Potter.  They were meddlesome 
fools, too."

It always struck me as odd for Harry not to respond to that.  That's generally 
the best way to get a rise out of Harry, say something negative about his 
parents.  But in the book, he says nothing.  Lucius turns to go, calls Dobby to 
follow him, he doesn't as he caught the sock, etc.  Perhaps they used this 
parent line in there as well?  To give Harry a reason to make a reaction?  
<sigh> must wait, must wait.

Now me:

I've been trying to figure out why I don't like this scene, and I 
think this might be part of it:  I don't see Harry having the self 
confidence to say this to Lucius.  Despite all of his talents and 
achievements, Harry is extremely lacking in the confidence department 
(IMO, one of the side-effects of 10 years of emotional abuse at the 
hands of the Dursleys).  It's most pronounced at the beginning of 
PS/SS (when he's afraid he'll be at the bottom of the class, when 
he's afraid the Sorting Hat won't put him in a house), but it 
continues throughout all 4 books (he can't cast an effective Expecto 
Patronum spell until he realizes he's already done it in PoA; he's 
concerned about making a fool of himself when he's chosen as 
Triwizard champion in GoF).  IMO, this is deliberate on JKR's part - 
through the experiences he has in each book, we see his confidence 
slowly building, so that by Book 7, he'll have the confidence to 
(hopefully!) do away with Voldemort once and for all.  

But this confidence is *not* there yet in CoS.  Harry doesn't 
originally plan on taking on the Basilisk himself - he goes to 
Lockhart's office to give him helpful information, and when he finds 
out Lockhart isn't going to do anything to help his best friend's 
sister, he realizes he'll have to do it himself.  But he takes 
Lockhart along for reinforcement (why he thought the inept Lockhart 
would be able to help has always been a bit of a mystery to me!).  As 
it says in one of the books, Harry doesn't go looking for trouble - 
trouble finds him (another one of my favorite lines!).

Harry's lack of self confidence also explains (IMO) Richelle's other 
question - it's why Harry doesn't respond when Lucius makes 
his "you'll meet the same sticky end as your parents" comment.

Now me:

I've also been wondering about this.  In the first movie (and the 
first book), when Harry talks to the snake at the zoo, there's no 
reference to hissing.  In CoS the book, the voice Harry hears through 
the walls is speaking English.  It's only once he finds out that he's 
a Parselmouth that there's any reference to hissing.  So I'm guessing 
English with a hissing accent, but only after the duelling club scene!

Me again:

Well put!  JKR doesn't tend to use a lot of descriptors, so I think 
there is probably a wide range of highly individual perceptions of 
what the characters look and act like.  So the movie makers can't 
possibly please everyone!

Woah! I'm new here, hello. I find the new trailer impressive, like 
most of you seem to do. But I won't write much now since I haven't 
read the archives yet ;) I was wondering if anyone is planning to go 
to the London premiere of CoS? I'm going with at least two other 
people (whom I've never met before) and would not say no to meeting 
one of you fine people either!

I'm happy too that Daniel seems to act better than in the first film. 
And not only that... He's the most gorgeous 13-year-old I've seen in 
my life... utterly delicious...

Almost makes me wish I was a teeny bopper again! There were
no gorgeous young men like that around when I was 13. I've
often wondered what Daniel's father looks like. Does anyone
know of any online photos of him/them together?
 
On a related note: There's a kid who takes the same bus I
get after work in the morning who is a dead ringer for a
teenaged Severus Snape. Have any of you seen the interview
portion on the dvd? There's a very quick part where Alan
Rickman is walking towards the director and he's smiling. 
The bus kid looked exactly like that this a.m. when
grinning at something the bus driver said to him as he
boarded. 

I have this uncontrollabel urge to tell the kid to stop
wearing normal kid clothes and put on a high necked black
suit and robes. <g>

Oh, to be twenty five years younger.....

Excellent point! I read in interview that Daniel Radcliffe is suppose
to wear glasses in real life, but he keeps losing them or breaking
them, so I just assumed he wore contacts instead.

Now that you've brought up, the point of eye color that is extremely
short sighted of them. It appears that eye color is going to become
very important in future books, so it would seem like a detail they
should be paying close attention to. 

They spend multi-millions of dollars on this movie, would it really
kill them to spend $100 more and get Daniel some green contacts?

Yes indeed, very short sighted of them.

True Harry doesn't have much internal self-confidence, but externally
he can be very stubborn and defiant. He feels weak but he doesn't like
to admit it. 

So, I could see Harry saying this to Lucius not because he believes
it, but because he understands that Lucius really means the exact
opposite of what he is saying, and Harry with his stubborn defiance is
not going  to let Lucius get away with trying to intimidate him. 


Let me add these thoughts on the subject of movie trailer-

Let's remember that frequently there are things in the movie trailers
that are NOT in the movie. Sometimes these are things that were left
on the cutting room floor but frequently they are short clips created
especailly for the trailer and were never intended to be in the movie.

Just want to make the point that you can't always trust what you see
in the trailer.

Really?  Considering that every interview or photo op with Daniel is him
without glasses, I assumed (combined with the next point I'll make) that
he has not need of vision correction.

What I heard was that they attempted to put green contacts on Daniel, but
he couldn't tolerate the contacts.  Then they considered doing some sort
of CG to make his eyes green, but it was found to be either impossible or
too costly or both.

I don't know if I've heard wrong or what.  But I do find it very
disappointing that Daniel's eyes aren't green.  :/

Well, I can see Harry's lack of self confidence in one way, but not in
another.  For example, he doesn't hesitate to scream "LIAR!" at Voldemort
himself when he insults his parents.  But doesn't say a word to Lucius.  Is
Harry more confident around Voldemort than Lucius?

Very true.  While Harry may not think he's the one to always save the day,
he's not going to let Lucius have the last word in either.   Now another
thought I had is that perhaps with the "Don't worry, I will be" line they
are trying to bridge the gap between the so called "timid, quiet" Harry of
SS/PS and CoS and the often blatently defiant one of PoA.  For example, when
Snape substitutes for Lupin.  Harry practically interrogates him and nearly
gets himself in BIG trouble for it.

No, no, no!  I LIKE that line!  I WANT it in the movie! :)

I heard that they tried green contacts and he couldn't wear them.  Which
considering he was barely eleven at the time is highly likely.  I wonder
though, if now that he's a couple of years older they won't try again for
PoA.   In "real life" I've seen just one picture of Daniel with glasses and
he's reading at the time, so maybe he just needs them to read.  Though they
were incredibly thick, for a twelve year old.

I've never seen him before, but I looked on IMDB and he does look rather
gentle.  Lupin needs to be gentle.  That's my number one requirement.  Oh,
and nice eyes would be good. :)

Which makes me wonder if they aren't even trying too hard for the green eye
thing.  Daniel's gorgeous blue eyes are incredible.  Give that kid five
years and he'll be a heart breaker!

<sigh> I wish!  But alas, no.  When is it?  I hadn't heard a date announced,
but based on last year's premiere shouldn't it be in about six weeks?
You'll have to take lots of pictures and keep us informed!

Hi all!  I joined this group too because, apparently,
I was not obsessed enough with HP when I was just on
the book group.  :)

Anyway, I'm not familiar with Julian Sands so I can't
comment on this choice.  I heard a rumor that Ewan
McGregor was being considered for the role.  I would
be *very* happy if they cast him.  I just love Ewan
McGregor and I think he'd be great as Lupin.  I can
hardly wait until Lupin is cast but I'm even more
anxious to see who will be cast as Sirius as I've got
a crush on Sirius.  Whoever they pick, I hope he's as
dead sexy as I think canon Sirius is!

I just don't understand this thing everyone's got about the snake being bigger! Correct me if I'm wrong, but the book doesn't actually say that the snake is huge, does it?? If it does, then why have I always imagined it being normal size? I think the one in the trailer is *exactly* as I saw it when reading the book. I would certainly be scared of it, and it's fangs. 
Oh, and it looked black to me, all four times I watched it, not brown/green. Maybe I'm going crazy.

another HP shot which showed different scenes from trailer #2. I'm

Well, I thought the snake was just fine.  The book says, and I quote "Harry
watched, aghast, as a long black snake shot out of it, fell heavily onto the
floor between them, and raised itself, ready to strike."

Now, the snake in the film is brown, not black, but does that really matter?
Anyway, it is long enough to qualify as long, and since the book doesn't
actually say "big" it doesn't have to be big.  And it does fall heavily on
the floor between them, and of course it cuts away before we get to see it
raise up to strike.

That's ironic!  My daughter and I also were the ones watching Rose 
Red and discussing Julian.  Must be a mother/daughter movie :-)

Ewan has been discussed on this MB also.  I think we agreed that he'd 
be a good Lupin, but his busy movie schedule and younger age may work

Despite recent comments about the snake's size not being mentioned in the books, when I read CoS I thought of a much larger snake, something like the one in the first film, not a gargantuan snake, just something with more visual ooomph.

being normal size? I think the one in the trailer is *exactly* as I saw it
when reading the book. I would certainly be scared of it, and it's fangs.
> Oh, and it looked black to me, all four times I watched it, not
brown/green. Maybe I'm going crazy.

Well, I thought the snake was just fine.  The book says, and I quote "Harry
watched, aghast, as a long black snake shot out of it, fell heavily onto the
floor between them, and raised itself, ready to strike."

Now, the snake in the film is brown, not black, but does that really matter?
Anyway, it is long enough to qualify as long, and since the book doesn't
actually say "big" it doesn't have to be big.  And it does fall heavily on
the floor between them, and of course it cuts away before we get to see it
raise up to strike.

I think if it was going to be incredibly important to the story, JKR would have said something...how often was she on the set, and how much influence did she have?  Also, I don't understand how it can be so difficult to CGI eye colour.  Who knows, maybe the post-production people just couldn't bring themselves to do it :D.

I think he's got a running start on it already.  Danny's one beautiful young man. Very sweet and intelligent as well, from what I've seen.

I think Daniel is a very bright, sensitive boy, from what I saw in 
last year's interviews.  Yes, he's got a head start on 
the "heartbreaker" thing.  Does he ever.  If you ask me (and no one 
did), he looks very much like his mother, Marcia.  Same coloring and 
facial features.  

I also happen to think Rupert Grint is adorable.  Have you ever seen 
such a cute ginger-haired boy?  Someone else on here said his voice 
had turned out nice, and I have to agree.  It sounds very mellow.  I 
find myself wondering what the rest of his brothers and sisters look 
like.   

Anyway, just my two cent worth.

Apart from the fact that they didn't bother to put green contacts on

Firstly, I have had a closer look at the miniscule snippet of Ron, Harry and the Ford Angular (sorry) Anglia near the end of T2, Chez Aragog.  It is very very dark relative to the most of the trailer but the car appears to be escaping through a group of spiders, one of which is rearing up into the glare of the headlight, which I think gives a good idea of it's size.   I have posted two pictures in the group HPfGU Movie Photos folder "Spiders" to show what I mean.

 

Now, I know how big FA's are, and I can see how big this spider is and, IMHO, that spider looks *enormous*.  Having brightened a frame to see what's going on, that spider is definitely at least two metres across from hairy toe to hairy toe  <<<< chill shiver runs down spine - if it can find one....>>>>.  If the car is knocking the spider out of the way, see attached, relatively speaking it's huge, so, even if the snake is definitely IMHO not big enough, the spiders, on review, most definitely look as though they are!

 

Secondly, has anyone worked out if the writing around Snape's windows means anything, apart from looking decorative?  It looks Italic/Gothic type script; all angular serifs*.  I have an idea or two not much though.  The shot in Entertainment Weekly, June 7, 2002 issue shows our hero Snape, sundry fascinating looking bottles, jars, furniture; and behind him arched windows (shades of Playschool.) 

 

Above the window the writing curves round, and * may* continue on either side, as seen in the shot of Severus from Trailer 2; part of a repeated sequence from Trailer 1 of Dumbledore, Snape, MacGonagall & Lockhart, minus Lockhart where, left of shot, more writing is visible.  It is a different window in the T2 shot from EW  i.e. different shape, different stuff on front of the window etc., (Snape does not strike me as being someone who moves his furniture much) so I would say the same room. Just wondering.

 

BTW Don't get me started on Snape's bowl of crisps...

She is VERY adorable, I agree.  Her hair isn't normally that thick, 
is it?  On the few interviews I have seen of her, her hair looks 
much thinner.  She strikes me as very smart, too.  Can you imagine 
the practical jokes she has to endure with all those mischievious 
boys around?!  :D

Okay, I have to say that I definitely think he has the
look of Sirius.  I never pictured Sirius with facial
hair but his hair color is perfect and he has a very
intense look about him.  Yes, I would definitely say
that he fits my picture of Sirius Black.  I would not
be disappointed to see him cast as Sirius.  I do think
he looks quite a bit younger than Alan Rickman but I
have to say that, as much as I love Rickman and think
he did a wonderful job, he looked a bit too old to be
Snape.  Although Snape does seem to be looking a bit
more youthful in the CoS trailer.  Anyway, I'm picture
Rickman and Carter in a stand off, sneering at each
other.  It has potential!!!

Oh, cool.  It looks like there are several different sizes of spiders in
there.  Which means Aragog (I almost called him Aragorn, oops) would
probably be the biggest.

Isn't that odd of us?  It makes perfect sense that he hadn't been able
to shave any sooner than get a haircut, but hardly anybody seems to
think 'beard'.

This will be, of course, up to the artsy types; but I think he looks
better bearded.

Well, one of the most interesting things about Carter is that if he
were a wizard himself, he (and Michael Praed as well), per
standardised fanon timeline, would have been in the same year as MWPP
-- they're both born in 1960.

In fact, Jason's birthday is Sept. 23 -- happy birthday, potential Sirius!

He's going to be making 2 appearances in Indianapolis this coming
Saturday -- AND I GET TO GO!!!  A friend at work gave up a vacation
day for me to be able to have the time to fly up there (I told him he
could give it to me as a birthday present, as mine's only a week after
Jason's).

I don't know how much access I'll get to him, but at least I can
spread around a few more flyers....

Corgi, hyped!

I absolutely adore Rupert Grint and I also think his
"new" voice sounds very nice.  I think he is just so
darn cute!  When I read PS/SS for the first time, I
liked the character of Ron but it is Rupert who has
made me absolutely love Ron.  I can hardly wait to see
CoS because I just love the way that Rupert plays Ron.
 He's so good at making those cute little faces and
making Ron seem so funny and so like an all-around
good friend.  My hubby has red hair so I think that I
sort of get little motherly pangs when I see Rupert. 
Aww, maybe some day I'll have a boy who looks like
him. :)

Where is that on the DVD?  Can anyone point me in the right direction, as 
I've found it one of the more difficult DVDs to navigate.
Thanks

Severus Snape is a closet crip muncher. After a hard day in the class room, a stack of books (not scrolls ) at the ready for some vituperative marking, a glass of Ogden's Old Fire Whisky in one hand crips at the ready.

Don't believe me?  What's that on his desk (see EW article...)on a tasteful plinth in a rather nice bowl.  Crisps.  Definitely wizarding crisps (and don't tell me wizards don't have crisps!!!  ** G **

Whew!  I'm glad you don't think I am pervy!! :D  I have those 
motherly pangs, too, because I have three sons myself (and one girl) 
and I think they are adorable, too.  I just feel that after three 
boys I know a cute one when I see one ;).  I can't tell you how many 
times I have wanted to dye my hair a dark auburn, but my husband 
begs me not to (spoil sport! heh).  One of these days I will get a 
wild hair (!) and do it, I expect.  


Alora, resident pervy mom :D

Katy,

I did that last year!  I went to the 11 am first showing of HP the 
day it opened and maybe ten other people were there.  It was great!  
I love going to the movies by myself - there are so few distractions 
and I don't have to share ANY of my food with the kids ;).  The 
little buggers eat everything in the first 10 minutes anyway.  I am 
planning on getting my ticket a week or so before it opens, and 
having a wonderful time ALONE.  Then, I'll get to see it all again 
with my kids (and everyone else's kids *sigh*) a day or so later.  I 
think I saw HP at the movies 6 times, so I know I will be going 
back, ALONE, again soon after.  I'm such an addict.

Good!  What a relief. I'm glad I'm not alone in lurking in the cinema to see Harry Potter.  Although I confess I don't want to mother anybody ;-) I'm a Snape fan through and through......

I do. They'd have to go frame by frame through the entire movie, isolate 
Daniel's eyes, and color them, making adjustments for lighting, 
reflections, shading, dilation, etc. All the while making sure it looks 
natural. For someone highly experienced, each frame would take, oh, 1-3 
minutes. Multiply that by the number of frames in a 2+ hour movie, divide 
by 60, then multiply by the amount the CGI people get paid hourly.

Felicia,

You're not alone!  I'm already planning a 1/2 day of work on the 
15th so I can see CoS. Alone.  And, I'll probably end up seeing it 
twice that day because I know I'll be too excited to "see 
everything" at the first go and will miss a lot of little things.  
My heart will be racing - so I'll want to catch it one more time to 
let it sink in and enjoy everything.  Then, if I love it (and I'm 
sure I will) I'll have to make my way back to the theater to see it 
a few more times before it ships off. ( Gosh, then the dreaded 
waiting for the DVD will begin - let's hope Warner Bros does it 
right this time!) 

Oh, and I cry a lot in movies too.  I *still* cry watching the DVD 
of S/S!  Three scenes in particular: Harry waking up on Christmas 
morning, "I got presents!?!", Harry when he sees his parents in the 
Mirror of Erised, and Neville when he is awarded 10 pts for standing 
up to his friends. (gets me everytime, even when I read it!)

Bring the hankies!

Yes, this is a great moment! I'm at work, so I 'm going on my rather 
fuzzy memory. 

>From the menu area that is a picture of the staff table in the Great 
Hall, you can select one of the objects to take you to an interview. 
I think the object to select is in the lower right area - check 
around. It's a longish interview, mostly with Chris Columbus, but 
also Heyman and others who worked on on the movie. Interspersed 
throughout are informal, behind-the-scenes or between-takes clips of 
the filming. The one with Alan Rickman is in that outdoor covered 
corridor that opens into the courtyard. Alan is a ways down the 
corridor and is walking toward the camera with a big smile on his 
face. Snapefans, prepare to be jolted! (I loved it!)

Oh, come on, ladies, we have no call to be complaining about Draco's 
snake size.  He's only 13, after all, and this is the first time he's 
conjured the serpent (so to speak).

*desperately tries to keep a straight face, fails, falls over laughing*

Remember, it's not the size of the snake, it's the skill of the Slytherin . . .

The instigator of the post heading would like to apologise for not enclosing a filk.  Having had to cope with the estimable Coriolan and Marinafrants as filker-s par excellence, to actually come up woth a filk would require me to remember the song in its entirety, which I can't do ;-)

The Harry on Christmas morning scene really game me the sniffles in the cinema.  I had read the book and thought, oh lovely, but *seeing* it on screen was so sad and made you realise the poor guy had never had a decent Christmas.  I mean can you imagine no presents for ten years?? I Really Love Presents and want a working DVD player for Christmas so my special PS DVD stops freezing when I look at my Snape bits grrrrrrrrrrr.  

Can I also wish Amanda Geist a happy 2.2th posting birthday...............

Felicia!  I know! I feel the same way - that is why that scene is so 
special to me.  I wish they showed Harry opening more of his 
presents, too, like the stuff from Hagrid, Mrs. W, and Hermione.  I 
think the scene, "I got presents" and Ron saying "yeah" was so well 
done.  I adored how Mrs. W sent presents to Harry.  It's the type of 
thing my mom would do!  (quick - where are my tissues? ) 


 I hope you wake up on the 12/25 w/a new DVD player under your tree 
( or by your bed )so you can watch your Snape bits over and over 
again ) 

On another note - I know this isn't the correct forum, but I just 
snuck off and read The Leaky Cauldron (I'm at work, mind) and am so 
excited about the mini JK Rowling interview, the courtcase, and the 
fact that Book #5 is going to be "GoF" length I can't concentrate on 
work! :-)

Nice to hear from you!  I confess I do Leaky  Caldron stuff as well, and had missed the mini interview so far.  I'm at home and have a few minutes before I put the duck in the oven, how prosaic ;-))

Yes I would have loved to see more of Harry's presents!!!!

I have reason to believe they filmed more of the Christmas scene than made it 
to the DVD.  For one thing, there's a picture on the Harry Potter daily 
calendar of Harry (Daniel, not artwork) in his pajamas with a wooden carved 
flute with a tag "To Harry, From Hagrid."  Now considering they also have 
pictures from deleted scenes on the DVD, such as the one with Harry in his 
Weasley sweater, I believe there are other deleted scenes not on the DVD.  
Which gives me hope for a future special edition DVD or some such thing.  
Especially since they deleted the scene showing Harry wearing his sweater, they 
may also have deleted the scene where he actually got the sweater, as it was 
nonvital information, and the film did get rather long for children.  Not for 
me, though!

Anyway, that's my take on the matter.

Felicia!  I know! I feel the same way - that is why that scene is so 
special to me.  I wish they showed Harry opening more of his 
presents, too, like the stuff from Hagrid, Mrs. W, and Hermione.  I 
think the scene, "I got presents" and Ron saying "yeah" was so well 
done.  I adored how Mrs. W sent presents to Harry.  It's the type of 
thing my mom would do!  (quick - where are my tissues? ) 


 I hope you wake up on the 12/25 w/a new DVD player under your tree 
( or by your bed )so you can watch your Snape bits over and over 
again ) 

On another note - I know this isn't the correct forum, but I just 
snuck off and read The Leaky Cauldron (I'm at work, mind) and am so 
excited about the mini JK Rowling interview, the courtcase, and the 
fact that Book #5 is going to be "GoF" length I can't concentrate on 
work! :-)

  So do I!  In the Cinefex magazine: 

"Harry makes his way toward the train, giving wide berth to fellow 
student Lee Jordan, who is carrying his own pet in a box - a giant 
tarantula with a ten-inch leg-span. bulit by Nick Dudman mechanic 
Tmzine Hanks."  Then it goes on to say how they controlled its 
movements.

Me too!  The part with "I got presents?" just makes me want to gather 
him up in my arms and hug him!  I always cry at that part.  The other 
parts you mentioned get to me too...I'm another that always cries at 
movies-the happy parts, and the sad parts.  Books too.

Yes, I believe they did that a few weeks ago. They also have the new 
trailer posted on there as well.  I think they're about to post ( 
can't remember in what section ) the Knockturn Alley section.  
However, they spelled it Knock Turn Alley.  tee hee.

Richelle,

I know you're right!  I can't remember where I saw a "behind the 
scenes" bit - I believe it was on the Katie Couric special last 
year.  In one quick scene I think Chris was filming the Weasley 
Twins at the station.  (Too bad they couldn't fit the whole part 
where Mrs. Weasley warns the twins to behave and if she gets one 
more Owl about them stealing a toilet seat... such a funny scene 
from the book!)

Let's just hope that Warner Bros eventually releases more "deleted" 
scenes and when the time comes to release CoS they'll learn from the 
mistakes of the first DVD and add better content!  I just picked up 
my Monsters, Inc DVD and it's loaded with cool stuff! Why oh why 
didn't WB release more cool stuff!?!?! (Ugh! I know, wrong forum and 
I shouldn't get all hot and bothered by it! <grin>)

Quick question for you on that Daily Calender.  Are they all photos 
from the movies? Or illustration based?  I want to order the 2003 
one, but only if it's photos of the actors and not the illustrations!

Different effect with the luminecent blue, than making a natural green. Not

Myself, I think we deserve a DVD that can be easily manipulated by adults
who don't actually have time to spend 10 minutes going to Gringott's, buying
wands, and getting through class to get to the deleted scenes every time
they want to see them! :)

The 2002 one is about 95% photos.  Most of the illustrations that are in it
are things like the crests, signs from Diagon Alley shops, etc.  But yes,
the vast majority is real photos.  I highly suspect that the whoever put the
thing together was handed a pile of photos/clips and told to have a nice
time assembling the calendar.  The comments they put by the pictures don't
always go with the scene, but if the movie hadn't been seen, I can
understand how they might get them wrong.  Still, I love it.  Although I
can't help but peek ahead.  But then if I didn't, how would I have known
about that picture of Harry with his flute from Hagrid?  It's not until Dec.
24th.  Oh, and both Ron and Harry are looking up, in the same spot, smiling.
At what?  Did someone come to the top of the stairs?  Another Weasley?  Did
Hagrid come in (in the movie) to give Harry the present?  Argh, I must know!

O.K. Having had confession time about my favourite sniffy bits, I have another confession to make.  I had to stop reading GoF when I reached the bit about Mad Eye Moody turning Draco Malfoy into a bouncing ferret.  Laughing out out is not the done thing on the London underground and I was in tears of hysteria at that point.  Knuckle chewing, deep breathing exercises, all to no avail, sorry I wa sin hysterics.  It is beautifully written and I can't wait or GoF to hit the screen to see if it's as funny in *real life*!!  

Having said that, I fail to keep a stiff upper lip at the end when Harry leaves Hogwarts for the summer, it's pathetic, I haven't seen the finishing shot of Hogwarts and the train pulling out without my mascara running and my hanky being wringing wet.  I have to get out my postcard of my hero (Snape) and my collection of pictures, ably contributed to by several dedicated fans... Ta Ba!, to cheer myself up!  <soppy grin>

Especially with the news that JKR now has other things on her mind, with book five not out yet (although rumoured finished and being perfected.........) * sigh *

Shoot - I'll know I'll be wiping my eyes during CoS when Molly hugs 
Ginny! ( if they add that scene ) or if Harry says, "Please, Ginny, 
don't be dead, don't be dead Ginny" - Or Ron's face when he finds 
out Ginny is the one down in the Chamber.... Even Percy's sad face 
knowing that both Penelope (petrified) and Ginny (down in Chamber) 
is heart wretching. Waaaaaaaah!  (ok, okay! Get a grip!)

On a happy note - I'm looking forward to wiping my eyes with joyful 
tears - especially if the part where Harry gets the 
singing V-day gram is in the movie.  I hope it makes it into the 
movie, if not, I have my CoS Audio Book by Jim Dale.  The first time 
I heard him sing that song, I laughed so hard I nearly hit the car 
in front of me. I had to re-wind it a dozen times before I continued 
with the audio book.  As a matter of fact, listening to the audio 
tape of CoS put CoS as my second favorite HP book when it used to be 
my least.  Hmm. I wonder if pre-CoS movie-anxiety helped w/that 
decision as well?

How many more days until this movie comes out???

Hi!  I did see that picture as well.  He looks mean - so I'm 
assuming that is his  "fighting the basilisk face" look? :)  I never 
developed a strong character of what Fawkes looked like (in my mind) 
I'm trying to figure out how big he would be - he can't be too big 
if he can rest comfortably on Harry's shoulder; yet he has to be 
strong enough to carry four humans.  I guess I just have the image 
of Fawkes from the US book cover.  

Anyone else have ideas of what they imagined Fawkes to look like?

( thinking ahead... what will Buckbeak look like? )

Hmmm... okay - I must have missed the thread on this, but what are 
Snape Crisps???  :D  

That part of the book is funny.  I loved the part in GoF where Harry 
and Ron are making up their horoscopes.  That is something my 
girlfriend and I would have done - or did do at one point <grin> I 
have to re-read that scene a few times because it's so funny.

And you're right - the end of the movie is sniffy!  When Hagrid 
gives Harry the photo-album filled with pictures.  <sniff>  I think 
a part of me is sad because I know it'll be a year before the next 
movie comes out.  So, while I'm excited about CoS coming out - 
knowing it'll be another year+ before PoA comes out and the waiting 
begins....  Well, it'll 
give us lots to talk about though, won't it?  More speculations and 
more debates "That's not what a flubberworm is suppose to look 
like!" will make the wait enjoyable.

Oh, and on another happy note... Yesterday was really a Harry Potter 
day!  Not only was there the good news about JK Rowlings win in the 
lawsuit, book #5, and her pregnancy - I got my UK Adult Edition 
Paperbacks in the mail!

Hi! I'm a lurker who is just delurking from India.

"Padma" means "Lotus". 
http://www.indiaexpress.com/specials/babynames/girl-p.html

"Parvati" is an Indian female name, possibly derived from the 
word, "Parvat", which means Mountain.

Just a follow up to my original post on the meanings of the names 
Parvati and Padma:

PADMA   m,f   Indian
"lotus" (Sanskrit). In Hindu myth this was another name of both the 
hero Rama and the goddess Lakshmi. 

PARVATI   f   Indian, Hindu Mythology
"daughter of the mountain" (Sanskrit). In Hindu mythology Parvati is 
one of the many names of the wife of Shiva.

And just a note to Corgi on this--my letters are in the mail!  I strongly
agree with the "Jason Carter for Sirius Black" campaign.  Also, I don't know
for certain about Julian Sands, as I've never seen anything with him, but
he's more the image I get for Lupin.  Ewan McGregor I like, but I don't
know.  Something doesn't quite fit. Not sure what.

In other things, I have just (yes, just) realized I had never watched the
entire interview from the DVD of SS/PS!  What an idiot I've been!  I started
it once, long ago right after the DVD came out, and ran out of time and
never finished!  So now I've seen it all the way through.  It did answer one
question I'd been wondering about--how long the younger actors can work--4
to 4 1/2 hours a day.  That's not much!

Also, I loved the behind the scenes clips of Daniel, Emma, and Rupert.
There's one right after they cut during the scene where they all run up to
McGonagall's desk and say "We've got to see Professor
Dumbledore--immediately!"  Anyway, they're all giggling and Daniel says
something like "We were a bit too eager that time!" and Maggie Smith says
"Yes, I was terrified."  It's hilarious.  They don't show it, but I'm
imagining they nearly knocked the table over or something.

Then there's another part where Emma is picking up something off a desk and
the top comes off and falls to the side.  Daniel picks it up, sticks it back
on, then glances around as if to see if anyone saw it.  Too funny, and very
much like an eleven year old.

And I loved the part with Alan Rickman walking along, hands in pockets with
a big smile on his face.  In full Snape costume of course!  I loved it.

I did notice that in every between scenes clip, Daniel had the glasses off
and in his hand.  It's no wonder he was always breaking his real glasses!

Well, I've rambled on enough!

To be honest I'm not sure how i feel about the Fawkes pic.  The 
colors look really great, but his face makes me think of a vulture or 
something.  Now of course since a phoenix is a fictional bird there's 
really no specifications for what it should look like exactly, but I 
always pictured him with a sleeker, more beautiful face. Hopefully 
the poster is in fact his "fighting the basilisk" face and he will 
look more beautiful when we can see the rest of him.  I guess I just 
always thought of Fawkes as being such a powerful, yet gentle 
creature, I didn't think he would have to look mean to be taken 
seriously.  

just my 2 knuts....

Ah! Another person of discernment and taste, Snape grinning os not what most people expect and first time around it was rather startling :-)

As for Daniel's glasses, be thankful he doesn't have the new rimless ones, they are so light you forget you have them on, or if you carry them forget them and nearly break them in to several large pieces an expensive pieces!!

I reallly like the interview as it sheds a lot of light on behind the scenes stuff, and the kids seem to have a really great time.  I just *wish* the several rumoured cuts not seen had been included, some of them sound really good from what I have read of previous posts.

Good Morning!  Happy Sunday!

I re-watched the interview segment last night and liked the behind 
the scenes stuff.  Chris Columbus seems like a cheerful kind of guy 
and according to Daniel Radcliffe (WB Q&A) a funny man.  They really 
seemed excited about CoS and the new CoS characters (Lockhart, the 
car, Ginny) I just wish they showed scenes from that too!  Oh well, 
can't have everything.

I wonder if there will be any TV specials like "behind the scenes 
with Harry Potter and the CoS".  I wonder if there will be any full 
hour specials like last years Rosie show?  

On a lighter note, I had to curse at the DVD again because I 
couldn't remember how to jump to the deleted scenes section. After 
ten minutes I finally remembered.

Is there a way to jump to the deleted scenes?  I can't get there without
going to Gringott's, buying a wand, and going into the classes.  Is there an
easier way?

Also, on the note of Fawkes, I think his face looks very much like an emu.
My uncle used to raise them, so I've had many up close and personal
encounters. At first you think they're ugly.  Then you notice how
intelligent and friendly (usually!) the eyes are, and before long you think
they're adorable.  Perhaps it will be that way with Fawkes as well.

Hi!

Yes there is a way to cut to the deleted scenes.  It used to be up 
on the official Harry Potter site, but I can't find it. (anyone, 
anyone?)

You still need to go in to Diagon Alley and get your money and buy 
your wand.  Then you can go to the class section and the listing of 
four courses will pop up.  In the middle there is that statue-
thingy - you need to move your DVD remote so that part is high-
lighted then press enter.  From there you have to get past Fluffy by 
hightlighting the flute - then you'll need to catch the key.  I 
believe you use your remote to go up twice and once over the right 
and then enter. After that you choose the yellow round potions 
bottle and can get to the Mirror of Erised.

If anyone can check my directions and verify, please do! :)

Oh my! I agree! What is with these games?! I can play the Trivia 
Game, but I know I'm not playing it correctly. Haven't tried the 
second one yet. Now, the Mystery at Hogwarts game is FAIRLY easy. 
Much like Clue. Still, I never know when to play certain cards. 
However, the WORST possible game they have come out with has to be 
the Quidditch card game. My friend and I tried for hours to figure 
it out. I was thinking, "If two tweny somethings with college 
degrees cannot figure out this card game, how are kids supposed 
to?!" I was talking about it later with a younger girl and she said 
one of her friends (she's ten) figured it out. I said, "But, my 
friend and I couldn't figure it out! She replied, "Yes, but this 
girl is the smartest girl in my class." Outdone by a fifth grader. 

On a separate note, I got two kittens from the Humane Society 
yesterday. Named one Fawkes. :-) Still deciding about the other 
name. I mean, she's white, so Hedwig would be perfect. However, my 
other choice - Scully - suits her better. And, if you're an X-Files 
fan, you'll see the irony in "Scully and Fawkes." hee hee.

OH yes, those instructions are impossible.  we were very confused and
just a bit frustrated.
and then we saw that the side of the box says "8+."     *humph*  we're
23 and 24, respectively. :)
And oh yeah -- we kept forgetting which player was which (those colorful
dots on the players arent helpful at all).  we couldnt figure out which
question to ask when.  hehe  Trivia was good though. :)  
get a piece of dark paper and hold it against the card so you cant see
but the questions.
My fave was "how does Ginny know Colin Creevey?"  I think the answer
said something about them sitting together in Herbology.  *humph*   who
would know that?  *grin*

Subject: Jason Carter as Sirius - Indianapolis appearances
Message-ID: <amnpqm+ir7k@eGroups.com>

I am now even more convinced than before (if that's possible) that 
Jason Carter is the PERFECT Sirius Black.  The Poets Alliance of Indy 
and Slidezone Productions brought him to Indianapolis, not for a B5 
thing, but as a poet, for a guest appearance at one of their regular 
public reading sessions this past Saturday.

I was lucky enough to be able to attend due to a series of 
circumstances, almost circumVENTED by the tornadoes hitting my quasi-
sister's neighborhood Friday afternoon!

Jason Carter is a smart, witty, expressive and intelligent person, 
who understands his craft and art and insists on 'finding the truth 
in the lie'.  He's reviewed the excerpts from the books (reposted on 
the campaign website, 
http://www.SFF.net/people/Corgi/JasonCarter/excerpts.htm ) and agreed 
this is a character he could do, and find interesting.

And, on a more trivial level, his hair -is- actually black (and 
gorgeous, but that's IMHO).  His eyes, incidentally, since they have 
been discussed previously, are green -- but a very unusual and subtle 
shade which could easily be mistaken for something else depending on 
the lighting (or lack thereof).  Not terribly relevant ;) but kind of 
interesting.

I know for sure there's at least one of the poetry attendees who 
spoke up with that familiar fanatic 'gleam' in his voice when he 
asked Jason what he would bring to the role of Sirius Black -- 
another True Believer has been born!

It's kind of silly, but I wish you all could have been there.  At the 
very least, you would have been entertained; at the most, you'd 
understand why I =have= to do this. :)

Last night, Mark Williams appeared on the Johnny Vaughan Show on BBC1 
here in good ol' Blighty. 

He was there to talk about another project (the Fast Show going on 
tour around the UK) but they also touched on his appearance as Arthur 
Weasley in CoS. I made an MP3 of the HP part of the interview, which 
has been added to http://plum.cream.org/HP/misc/index.htm (I've also 
explained a couple of things about the interview on that page which 
may or may not be self-evident). 

He didn't say anything earth-shatteringly new; I suspect that the 
main interest in this interview will be for people who've never 
seen/heard Williams in any of his other roles and wonder what he 
sounds like. :-)

Thank you, Gulplum!

Excellent!  I had never heard him speak before, and I am SO looking 
forward to the movie even more so, now!  November won't come fast 
enough.  :D

There is an "awwww" moment while looking at the pic where Harry is 
hugging Hagrid.  I'm assuming this is after Hagrid has come back from 
Azkaban.

There are pics of Fawkes in Dumbledores office.  One of his "burning" 
and then as "new".  He looks a lot smaller than I had expected!

I've heard the media say that there wouldn't be as much anticipation 
for COS...well they sure haven't asked ME!  I'm just as or even MORE 
excited about seeing COS. 

In one pic I saw the beautiful dessert that will, hopefully, end up 
all over Harry.  I'm bad ;-P  BTW, I thought Daniel looked much older 
in that pic!

Saw a 30 second trailer on WB last night that looked
new. It consisted of a very quick series of pictures
(aimed at the young MTV audience) with the fast 'chess
game' music in the background. The only notable new
scene (that I could make out in the whirr) looked like
Harry in front of the basilisk head, which looked as
big as a house.

Boy, they sure do love to show Harry hugging Hagrid.  Did Harry *ever*
really hug Hagrid?  In any book?  I can't remember it.  Not a very Harry
thing to do.  However, I guess they felt the urgent "he needs a hug" thing
and supply one per movie. :)

He was smaller than I pictured.  Of course, as Harry says, he's not an
ordinary bird.

Oh, and that dessert is to die for!  Is that what a pudding is?!?!  I
certainly hope it does end up all over Harry, Daniel would be too cute
dripping with pudding.  That I want to see, and the singing dwarf.  I will
be very upset if the singing dwarf is not in the movie.

Richelle! For the longest time I had no idea that puddings meant 
dessert!  All I could pictue was Bill Cosby holding up those little 
plastic jell-o cups.  Hee hee.  So when I first read CoS I was 
confused about the pudding with violet sugars... Duh! Now it makes 
sense!  It must be a cake!  :)

Now me:


I believe that over in England the term pudding refers to desserts in general.  My apologies to all the Brits if I am mistaken. I think I read it though on a British based website that clarified terminologies.

Wow, great pics!  And is it just me, or is Daniel Radcliffe looking a 
lot more...intense then he did in the last film?  Kid's starting to 
develop some serious acting chops, I'd say (not that he was bad 
before)...

Fawkes has a kind of Brian Froud-ish look to him, I think (Cf. "The 
Dark Crystal" and "Labyrinth").  Not what I expected, but not bad at 
all.

Looks kinda like a parrot, if you ask me.  Well, I figure to be able to dive 
down and poke out a basilisk's eyes without getting munched, you'd have to 
be pretty small and agile.

I hate to admit it, but ye gods! *Both* Alan Rickman and Kenneth Branagh 
look *so* hot in the dueling scene...I just needed to say that!  Can't wait 
to see Snape blow Lockhart across the scene in a blur of lilac!

They haven't consulted me either.  I'm pretty much
beside myself with excitement.  I jumped up and down
like a six-year-old (and I'll be 26 by the time the
movie comes out :) ) after I saw that second CoS
trailer on the WB.  My husband thinks I'm an obsessive
nut.  :)  

Thank you so much, Gina, for posting this link!  I
love, love, love these pictures and they made me even
more excited for the movie.  Is it November yet??

There are so many great pics in the bunch that I don't
even know where to start.  I *love* the one of the
expression on Ron's face as he's looking at the quiz. 
I think Rupert Grint is about the cutest thing in the
world!  The Draco and Harry dueling pics are great
too.  I had to laugh at the expressions on their
faces.  Reminds me of my brother at that age when he
used to look at a boy he didn't like.  :)  What a hoot
the Lockhart dueling pic is!  I really love Kenneth
Branagh as an actor and I can hardly wait to see what
he'll do with this character.  I think he's going to
be excellent in the role.  The Snape dueling pic is
also really cool.  Oh, and the good shot of Tom
Riddle.  Yeow!  Too bad he turned out so evil!  :) 
How cool is Dumbledore's office??  And the Harry
hugging Hagrid pic is definitely an awww moment. 
Ginny is a pretty girl!!  Now I definitely think Harry
will have to develop a crush on her in later books. :)
 *Love* Lucius Malfoy.  He looks fabulous!  

Okay, I'm giddy and I'm going to have to download all
of these pics.  :)  

My one complaint is that I think Hermione's hair is
too neat.  I would have liked to see it as bushy as it
was in the first movie.

I'm with Richelle, the singing dwarf has to be in the
movie.  That is probably my favorite part of the book!
 I will be so disappointed if that scene is not in the
movie!!

Oh, God, yes. Alan looks incredible in his dueling costume. Very Sexy!Snape.

And the kids don't look quite like kids anymore. They're little adults now.
It seems like they grew up in about five minutes.

Wow, that's GREAT!!  I can't wait to hear about your experience :-) 

I'll be running around the house screaming if I can just order first 
day tickets!  I've never gone to a movie on opening day, but I think 
I'm going to try and fight the crowd this time.  Are first showings 
also in the day or just night?  I'm clueless :-)

Darn!  I'm never going to see these other trailers! I don't get WB :(

Why can't they start showing them on Nickelodeon?  My girls love Nick 
and if they are shooting for the kids that is the place to show the 
trailers.

If you have a marcus theater by you, they have a website where you can order
tickets online. I'm sure the other big theater chains have similiar advanced
buying tickets systems too.

I've calmed down a bit now, although I did wake up at 1.30 in the 
morning thinking about it.  It all happened rather suddenly.  I'd 
been casually flicking through the local paper that arrived yesterday 
evening and when I turned to the page that shows local cinema times, 
there it was - now booking for Harry Potter - advance showings on 
8th, 9th November.  This is with Cineworld, who are a UK cinema 
chain.  When I looked on their website, they're going to have up to 
27 showings per day, although on the first day the first showing 
won't be starting until 4pm.  Unfortunately I can't go to the first 
showing as I'll still be at work and can't get the day off, so I've 
booked for the 5.50pm showing.  The guy I spoke to at the box office 
thought it was quite funny that I was booking for 2 adults and no 
children.  By the way, it will be my 33rd birthday and my long 
suffering husband will be accompanying me.

I've heard that they're going to begin casting for POA in November. 
Well, that is casting for all the extras - I've got a friend whose

Oh I'm echoing that sentiment. And isn't it a pity you
can't freeze frame and replay things in a theater *vbg*
Wouldn't it be grand to have a special showing for those of
us who are mad about the Hogwarts staff (and select
platinum haired Dark Wizards)where they'd do much frame
freezing and replaying of favorite scenes? 

What do you all think of the pic of Draco and Harry's
dueling stances? Draco's is a bit showy but rather nifty. I
wonder where he learned it from--Snape or Lucius? And
what's the deal with Harry making the fist? Of course his
"coach" is Lockhart so...

Actually, I was wondering why his wand was back so far.  What's he going to
do, jab it through Harry's heart? Or karate chop him with the non wand hand?
I thought the wand was supposed to be out in front, like a sword?  I guess
he's trying to be vicious to make up for the girlie voice.  I'm sorry,
really.  I must be more considerate of others.  I guess it's just that it
wasn't noticable before, but now that Daniel, Rupert, etc's voices have
changed Tom's sounds more high pitched!

> what's the deal with Harry making the fist? Of course his

After all, Lockhart did show him how to drop his wand. :)  I wonder if that
made the movie?  Anyway, it does make him look rather dramatic and menacing.
Okay, as dramatic and menacing as a twelve year old can possibly look!

I think that's great, which I stated in another post, but it got me 
to wondering if the sneak previews would hurt opening day sales?  I 
know its not about sales, but the media has turned sales into a 
fricken measuring stick.  Of course, you know who is 
HP's "competition" supposedly is, but I guess TT will have sneak 
previews too?  Forgive me for being so biased, but I've seen too many 
LOTR "diehards" HARSHLY/CRUDELY critizing HP and I'm afraid I have 
let it bother me.

I have just been reading the posts, but I am so happy to hear I am not the only one who is suffering through her husbands sighs when I get excited over HP.  Since I have had to work with his Star Trek obsession for 12 years.  
I am taking the day off of work to see the movie and bringing my mom, since my children are too young for Harry Potter.

Please don't leave us in suspense! What pictures are in it?
Do they show Snape? Lucius Malfoy? Tom Riddle? Lockhart even?

I purchased a storyboard for COs from a UK movie memorabilia dealer- 
just hought I'd share!


!!!!!!!!!!!Super spoiler alert!!!!!!


It covers the scenes from the opening owl-in thru Harry Getting the 
letter from the ministry of magic.


So
If yo don't want to know how WB planned on handling these scenes, 
then don't look!

I am so glad to have found these HP groups!  I have
yet to make any of my friends or family as obssessed
with HP as I am so it's so nice to have a place to go
where I can chatter endlessly about HP with others who
*want* to chatter about it endlessly.  :)  I'm
definitely going at some point during opening day and
it'll be interesting to see what kinds of looks my
husband and I get as we buy tickets for ourselves and
no children.  :)  Last year I saw SS/PS several times
in the theater and I went by myself once and was
surrounded by mothers with their children.  :)  

I just have to declare that I found both Lockhart and
Snape quite sexy in the pics of the dueling scene. 
Yes, I actually found Snape attractive, miracle of all
miracles!!  I'm really impressed with Kenneth Branagh,
though.  I thought he was a handsome man but he looks
drop-dead gorgeous in the CoS photos!

I recently read LOTR for the first time and I'm a huge
fan of the FOTR movie.  I have found some LOTR fans
who are, for lack of a better word, snobs.  Yes,
Tolkien's work is masterful but so is JKR's.  I like
them both for different reasons but I find it
insulting when people describe HP as "cute" and
denigrate it compared to LOTR.  Obviously they have
not really read and understood the subtle imagery and
the brilliant turns of phrase that JKR uses.  HP is
written in a different style than LOTR but I do not
find it any less brilliant.  I think that JKR is a
masterful writer and I would love to be able to write
half as well as she does.  I proudly declare that I
love both HP and LOTR!

Corgi, I have to tell you, after seeing your photos of
Jason Carter, I am now convinced more than ever that
he *must* be cast as Sirius.  He *is* Sirius!  I found
his pics so appealing that I think my huge crush on
Orlando Bloom/Legolas might be seriously threatened if
Jason Carter is cast in PoA.  :)  If that does happen,
guess I'll just have to alternate between daydreams of
elves and daydreams of wizards.

~Nicole

I believe it's the same one that Richelle a few weeks ago. You all should try 
to get it. I got it through my sister's book club, so, grab a tot and order 
it! LoL. The pictures are sooooooooooooo great. They have a lot of the Trio, 
obviously, but there is also Snape, Lockhart, Draco, Crabbe and Goyle, 
McGonagall, Dumbledore, and Hagrid. OH! Susan Bones is in a few, too. (ya

I gave my daughter the book order,(for two!) and she forgot to give 
it to the teacher!  Now we have to wait until the next one goes out 
in OCTOBER.  At least I know the teacher has our order so that it 
will be sent out this time.

Okay, since we're all sharing our Potterholic tendancies, I must admit that I jumped and squealed like a school-girl when the trailer was on TV.  I recorded it and my 2 kids and I watched it about 10 times in a row before I realized I should get them to bed because it was 10 o'clock.  Then, that night when I couldn't sleep, I watched it a bunch more times alone, giggling the whole time.  My husband is amused with my addiction.  He figures there are worse things I could be addicted to.  And I just turned 31.  But here's a justification for my addiction:  I don't feel a day over 15 because the HP books keep me young.  Yeah, that's why I read the books and watch the movies!
So, Nicole et al, you're not alone!  We probably should start a support group or something, but we don't want to stop, so it wouldn't do any good anyway!

LOL!  Well, the elf doesn't need letters written for him, Nicole --
he's already got the job!

This has just GOT to work; how could Cuaron and Columbus, and whomever
else getting dragged into the decision process, not see what we're
seeing?  I don't just mean the straight-woman/gay-man drool-object
type of thing, although that can definitely help sell and actor, eh? 
But Jason's got the right STYLE to play the part!

Did you see the casting office address?  I must needs investigate
postage to the U.K. now, 'cause I'm gonna bust their mailbox.

Hello!

The Leaky Cauldron as yet more shots of CoS, including one of Ron 
and Harry at Kings Cross station.  I always wondered what Harry's 
trunk would look like.  Do you think he has to magically shrink his 
Nimbus in order for it to fit?  

As for all you adults out there who are doing the Happy Dance 
whenever you see the trailer - I'm right there in the circle!!  
Eeee!  

Oh Richelle!!  I ordered the 2002 Daily calendar and it arrived 
yesterday so thanks for telling me about that. I looked at 
the "Christmas Flute" photo.  Look at the 11/25 date - Harry has 
green eyes in that picture, hee hee. I can't wait for the 2003 one 
to arrive!!!

Happy sigh!

Lilac and Nicole, you're not alone!  I am 35 and I adore HP!  My 
oldest son introduced it to me, and that was all it took.  Within 
weeks I was a full blown addict, collecting as many magazines with 
movie pictures in it as I could.  And, Lilac, once you pass 30, for 
some reason, you literally RACE to 35.  I'm not sure how I got here, 
but here I am! It does feel weird.  For the first time in my life, I 
feel like the older generation.  But you are right!  HP keeps us 
young!! :D

Sorry about the bandwidth problems- that's geocities!
If The Leaky Cauldron adds the scans to their files, then there will 
be no problem for people downloading them.
the things that caught my attention were;
1. The garden scene is missing- No sweaty Harry doing yardwork and 
taunting Dudley.
2. Harry gets the Pudding right in the face, and yes, ends up 
covered in Pudding.

It will be interesting to see how exactly they keep to the board in 
the final cut of the movie.  The picture of Petunia, Dudley and the 
Puydding is set up <very> similarly to the sketch in the board.
I can Hardly Wait!

Matt - me neither! It's going to be awesome!  I sort of figured 
they'd leave the garden scene but I would still love to hear Harry 
say, "You finally figured out which day of the week it is" <-- not 
direct quote, but you know...  after Dudley was teasing him with 
his, "I know what day it is...".  I wonder if we'll be able to tell 
how hurt Harry is by not receiving mail from his friends.

Anyway - thanks!

With all the kafuffle about Daniel Radcliffe "going up 6 inches," 
have you noticed that Rupert Grint has outgrown him by a good three?
I think all the media attention to the children's growth is overdone 
and just plain silly.  I don't know many 13-year-olds who have not 
had growth spurts. If anyone looks out of place it's that little 
squeaker, Tom Felton, whose voice still hasn't broken. But maybe it 
will give us a laugh.  Small men do tend to try and overcompensate 
with all their swaggering, don't they?  I certainly hope they aren't 
seriously thinking of replacing the Trio after PoA, though.  From 
the trailers, the children seem to be doing so well in their 
portrayals.

Yep, that's the one.  The Leaky Cauldron has the images back up now that
their CoS gallery is working again.  I actually have three now. :)  Two to
tear apart, one to keep together.

You know, in the first trailer when Harry opens his door to walk into his
room, sees Dobby, and says "Who are you?" he's out of breath.  If they left
out the garden scene, why?!?

Thank you, thank you very much.  No one seems to have noticed that Rupert
Grint must be close to 5'7 or 5'8 now.  Which I see nothing wrong with, it's
just been ignored.  But heaven forbid Daniel grow a few inches.  I think
they're both utterly adorable. :)

I get the biggest laugh every time I watch the first trailer and the duel
scene.  What with 14 year old Tom's "Scared Potter?" sounds so squeaky after
12 year old Daniel's baritone "You wish." comes out!  Hee, hee, love it.

me:  It's probably a time issue.  When he says, "Who are you" he 
doesn't look too sweaty or look as if he's been sun-baked or 
anything.  Hmm.  Guess we'll just have to wait and see!! (can't 
wait, can't wait!!!!! eeeeee!)

It's perfect for a Draco character - but remember Tom Felton is a 
human being and will grow when his body decides too! :)  Besides, I 
heard he is a singer?  If so - he probably doesn't want his voice to 
change as fast as Daniel's as he'll need time to adjust.

Dang. I can't wait much longer for the press releases, TV talk show 
circuits, the movie... let the games begin!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!  :)

I got such a laugh over this. It's true, though. And to add insult to
injury, didn't Tom just have his 15th birthday last week or right around
there?

But the kids are cute regardless. And Emma looks as though she's going to be
a real beauty when she's older.

I see no reason for them to replace the actors, they're growing right along
with their characters. As long as they don't spread the films out too much,
the actors won't look at all out of place.

I just wish the trailers showed a bit of Tom Riddle. Pretty AND of legal
age.

I agree, wholeheartedly, Nia.  I think they should grow, as Harry 
and all his friends do in the books.  I had also noticed that Rupert 
and Daniel had grown, and it looks as though Tom Felton has some 
catching up to do ;).  But, as kids grow, he could spurt up over a 
couple of months and catch him! Hehe.  I will horribly disappointed 
if they replace the actors.  Just seeing the trailer has shown me 
that they are getting much better at acting, and I don't think I 
could accept new kids in the roles!  Well, okay, I could, but I 
don't want to :P.  Anyway, just wanted to say I agree with you!

I couldn't agree more with you Olivia. reading this article yesterday
(link courtesy of leaky of course):
http://www.couriermail.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5936,5180419%255E7642,00.html

made me so angry! Yes, Dan doesn't have the black hair or green eyes,
but his hair is looking a lot messier in the second film from what
I've seen, and I couldn't imagine anyone else playing Harry. I think
he was very well casted indeed, as David Heyman said, he has that 'old
soul quality' which Harry needs.

And Harry must grow up gradually in the books, perhaps it's just a bit
more noticeable in the films because apart from a few references to
robes getting too short, correct me if I'm wrong, canon doesn't really
mention that much about Harry growing older until book 4 (feelings for
Cho etc, or are his feeling for Cho mentioned in book 3?), but with
kiddies these days his voice most probably has broken well before book
4 anyway.

long live the current cast, (and apologies if I'm repeating things
which have been said before, I'm new.)

She does, a little bit <g>.

There is a picture of all three linked from the Leaky
Cauldron, where Rupert and Emma look really nice (no hint of
evil from Emma, and Rupert actually doesn't look goofy, but
smiles really nicely), but Dan looks a bit off in it.

It's listed as "The Trio" under September 28th.

I was looking at the CoS pictures from the Leaky Cauldron and, being the

sitting in his office) above his head is an arch with writing on it.  I 
can't seem to make out what it says?  Anybody has any clue?  To me it looks 
like "City of.." something...I don't know.  Is it Latin?

me:  Naaaaah! Be a bad girl! ;)  I know what you're saying! :) 

I think Harry will be fine in year three - as a 13 year old.  
Remember, Fred and George were tall and had deep voices in SS and 
they were in their third year....  Lee Jordan on the other hand 
didn't have the deepest of voices.

Hey, speaking of Fred/George and the third years, are A.Johnson, 
Katie Bell, and the other chaser (forgot name) third (now 4th year) 
too?  What a young quidditch team!  You'd think there would be more 
6th and 7th year students on the team!  I like the team picture of 
the Quidditch team - I wonder if the girls will have speaking parts 
now?  I wonder if we'll ever meet Lavender Brown and the Pavati 
Patil...

I wonder what would happen if Emma had a growing spurt and grew 
taller than the boys? Wouldn't that be something? <<tee hee, I'm

across the face really cool! ;)

Hang on!  I thought that Gay!Sirius was just a fan-fic invention!  Is Jason Carter a homosexual?  Or does he just play one on TV?  Now, I don't know about other people, but the hot factor goes way down for me if the male is gay.  I had some very good looking male friends in High school who were also gay, and they made the best friends ever, but I wasn't attracted to them because they were gay.  I don't think that Sirius is a gay character in canon.  I really hope not, especially for Nicole's sake...that just might douse her raging crush big-time.  She'd just have to settle for all Legolas, all the time (but I don't think she would complain...).

You know, I just had the funniest thought.  At least I thought it was funny.  
Remember in SS/PS (the book, not movie) when Harry and Draco were supposed to 
duel how Ron told Harry if nothing happened to throw away his wand and punch 
Draco in the nose?  And in the dueling pictures from CoS Harry has that fist 
clinched?  Maybe that's the backup plan! :)  With Lockhart "helping" you, who 
knows.

I agree with you, Lilac.  I have to at least have
the *illusion* that if I ever met the actor I'd have a
chance with him and if he's homosexual that pretty
much negates that chance right there.  :)  Sirius
can't be homosexual because I am going to marry
him!!!  <Ahem>  Sorry, forget myself there for a
moment. Not to mention the fact that we're talking
about a *fictional* character.  I can differentiate
between reality and fantasy, I really can!  :) 
Anyway,
there's just nothing more lamentable for a lady than a
man who is good looking, has a wonderful personality,
and is homosexual.  What woman wants to be out of the
running for a man like that??
 
Of course, if I had to make the supreme sacrifice of
having a full-time crush on Orlando Bloom/Legolas
rather than having a part-time crush on him and a
part-time crush on Sirius, I guess I could handle
it. ;)  Coincidentally, the casting director's name
that Corgi provided us with was also the casting
director for Orlando's two latest movies, Ned Kelly
and The Calcium Kid.  I know that I certainly wouldn't
mind
seeing some Orlando Bloom in an HP movie!!

Nicole, who is seriously (I almost typed siriously
again!) jealous of Lilac's Legolas figure and has
asked her hubby for one of her own for her upcoming
birthday.

The only people I see trying to make a case out of Daniel growing is 
the media.  That article was just a synopsis of cases with only ONE 
small input from Columbus.  In the latest pic of the trio Rupert is 
taller (finally getting canon, hehe) than Harry and I didn't see a 
fuss made about HIM.  As usual the media is try to make a mountain 
out of a mole hill.  The fans could care less!

Yes and no.  There's no canonical evidence for the character having a
single romantic relationship of any sort whatsoever. :)

Hmmmm... I don't -think- any of his roles have been gay, but I haven't
seen everything yet.

He's an ACTOR! :)  His private life, no matter what it is, is
irrelevant to his work.  Look at... well, Rock Hudson.

My point was, though, that the same actor straight women are going to
drool over is -likely- to also have a good bit of appeal for gay men.
 That's all, just a selling-the-product reference.

My oldest daughter (15) has a crush on Rupert and she just loves this 
pic of him.  She likes his "Weasley" smile, but she much prefers his 
natural one.  It looks like Daniel got caught in the middle of 
goofing off! :-D  Emma is a little beauty, isn't she?  There may be 
some little off-camera romances in the near future ;-)

Emma doesn't look evil, I don't think.  She's probably tired, the 
poor dear.  No telling how many pictures the children had to pose for 
before they decided to use this one.
Also, did you see the picture of Moaning Myrtle.  She's 35, the 
actress who plays her.  Isn't she a hoot?

I don't know if "evil" is the right word for it, although it could be 
construed as such...definitely a "don't mess with this!" look, though.

Is it just me, or does this poster have a "Lord of the Rings"-ish 
look to it?

The actress' name is Shirley Henderson. Bridget Jones fans should recognize
her from the movie as Jude, one of Bridget's best friends.

She was also in Trainspotting. :)

I'd just like to point out that the ONLY way to know anyone's sexual
orientation is if they tell someone reputable or show evidence of a
relationship.  There are likely many people in Hollywood in the closet,
and that doesn't make them either better or worse than their peers in
their profession.

And I know that you guys have been playful with it and aren't meaning to
sound negative, but I had to chime in with the voice of reason. :)  I'm
sure the last thing this list wants is to start rumor-mongering!

Queerly yours,
Vicki

Thanks, I completely forgot her name.  She does have a youthful face, 
doesn't she -- but its going to be interesting how she portrays this 
character.  I wonder how it would feel, being done up in pony tails

Actually I thought it kinda looked like one of those fake smiles from Daniel.  
A sort of "I've been smiling all day, do we have to do this any more?" smile.  
Of course, at least he gets to spend part of his time looking brave and 
dramatic with the sword.  Poor Rupert just has to look silly in most of them!  
Cute silly, don't get me wrong. And Emma, she has to look intelligent and a 
little snobbish.  Ah, I just think they're all adorable. 

I'm still wanting to see more pictures of Colin--he's such a cutie I just want 
to pinch those little cheeks.

I haven't heard about the London one.  I'm assuming it is a few days before,

I think that it's the 3rd November. Then there are previews on 8/9 
and 10th before it goes on general release on the 15th. I've got

Are they going to do a Los Angeles/Hollywood Premier this time?
Is the west coast going to get ignored again?  *sniff sniff*
