Casting

[TACtalk at adelanta.co.uk]

After all the talk about casting, can I come out and say that I really
don't care who is cast in PoA? The movies will always take second place to
the books for me, and no one can change my mental pictures of the
characters. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy the movies; you'll have
gathered from my posts that I have seen both of them many times; but how
the actor looks doesn't bother me. If he or she doesn't *act* the way the
character should, that to me is far more cause for concern.

Daniel Radcliffe doesn't look like *my* Harry (except in one brief shot),
but I enjoyed his performance right up until his 'Clint Eastwood' moment in
CoS, which was so out of character that I shuddered.

But DR's image isn't what I see in my mind when I read the books, and I'm
glad about that.

Regards,
Nicholas
