The recent "Battlestar Galactica" miniseries is a good example: adequate enough on its own merits, but it made very little effort to honor the source material, so much so that it might have been better off trying to be an original story than attempting (and failing) to leverage the good will of the original.>> I agree... I read "White Oleander", and I finally watched it on HBO. I was very disappointed in the movie! I thought the actors were fine, and if I didn't read the book, I would have liked it. However, reading the book first, the movie took out half of her foster homes (they showed 3 yrs vs the 6 yrs she was in) and she met the boy eariler in the movie than in the book. :-( I was disappointed and bored with the movie. Now I did see the 1st HP movie before reading the book, and even though I see the changes, for the most part, I think CC caught the essesance of the book. I did read COS before seeing the movie though, and the changes to the movie did not bother me (well, maybe some minor things did). I am excited about POA though. I think this one will be more true to the book, but also add some fun to it too (like Draco's visual treatment of Harry, and the singing choir). I am real excited about the 4th film though. Since they are filming that shortly after wrap up of POA, I hope the 4th one comes out quickly after the 3rd film. I have to say reading all 5 books a couple of times (and I am sure again over and over between each film), the 4th book is still my favorite book of them all, even though the 5th answer a lot of questions.

The first time I saw RoTK, it wasn't playing. I went to see it a second time in a different theater and they showed it. I'm not sure if it's just what showing or what theater. I know Destinta in North Versailles didn't show it, but Wynnsong (Carmike Cinema) in Delmont did (These are places in PA).

There's just no possible way to put everything that was in the book (there's too much thought, description and stuff) into a movie. And yet, I still go see all the adaptations. Some do a pretty good job of getting the meat of the story out there. I have noticed that some of the best SK adaptations are when they do a movie from one of his novellas, not the novels. (The Body/Stand By Me for example). "The Stand" is my absolute favorite book, but it's over 1500 pages long and even with making it a mini series, they still had to leave a LOT out, but other than the horrible miscasting of Molly Ringwald (gag) as Fran, I really enjoyed it. I guess my point is to not expect an exact replica of the book - it's just not possible in the medium. Rae From anmsmom333 at cox.net Fri Jan 2 08:54:04 2004 From: anmsmom333 at cox.net (Theresa) Date: Fri, 02 Jan 2004 08:54:04 -0000 Subject: POA trailer / Movie adaptions of books In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Actually after seeing the trailer in the theaters, I am excited about the prospect of seeing the full link film and can hardly wait until June 4th. BTW - I didn't see it when we saw Looney Tunes but did with LOTR. I asked the gentleman manning the customer service booth at the AMC theater I frequent while my sons played with the cool wanted poster display why I had heard it was with LT and it was not and he said it was at the discretion of the manager of the theater which movies to tag it with. He made the same suggestion as another list member - to just ask which movies are showing it and did say if I just wanted to peek at it and then go to my movie I could - of course my movie had ended but I still had my stub. I think most theaters are pretty amicable. As for deviations well, I never think the films are exactly like the books. I have just seen the third LOTR and had rewatched the first two twice prior to going, though all three were brilliant films, there are quite a few deviations from the books. I had just reread them as well. However, it was done in such a way that the storyline still made sense. As for the Stephen King movies, I agree with Rae about Molly - I thought she was a poor choice and I think one of the worst adaptations of his was Christine. It was almost comical on screen but the book had me looking twice at my car. I know there will be deviations from the books for the films with HP but I still have faith in the film makers and Steve Kloves that they will be enjoyable. I know Steve said in many interviews that he runs any deletions from the book past JK to see if it will hurt the storyline down the road and I bet she has given many secrets to him. She would have to so he would not create some continuity error from film to film. Anyway, as long as the films are not so grossly different from the books, the acting is good and it is all done in good taste, I will be satisfied. I remember all the fuss a few months back about Cuaron having the children in regular modern day clothes in many scenes and at first I thought whoa wait a minute that isn't 1990's clothing. But the films have never stated a year for anything so I guess that is alright. Of course that may prove to be a goof in POA if they say Harry's folks were killed Oct 31, 1981 or show the date on a Daily Prophet paper for when Sirius 'blew up the street'. Oh, well I will still hold faith in the film makers and believe they will turn out a brilliant film. And if I am wrong you may all throw e- tomatoes at me. ;o) Theresa PS: Hope all of you have a wonderful 2004!

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: I live in France, but go to Portugal regularly. I was there during December, and got a chance to finally see the POA poster!!! However, in Portugal, the date announced on the poster is May 2004. Not June. More: one of my friends is the guy who actually buys the films for this big multiplex company (both exhibit and distribution). He also told me the film is coming out in May. I tried to correct him, and said June 4th, but he just looked at me and repeated "May". And that was all I could get from him. The poster on his theater had no date. The date I saw was in another theater - that actually belongs to his company. Warner Bro's site sticks to June 4th. I don't think there's a possibility my friend is wrong... He has to organize at least his multiplex events, timeline, whatever... Premieres are on Fridays in Portugal. June 4th is a Friday. They are planning to advance premieres to Thursdays, but that would make it, in May, either the 27th or the 28th. Avant-premieres on Wednesdays or Tuesdays are not unheard of (his multiplex had TROK showing on a Tuesday, an exclusive in Portugal, when it was due to open the following Friday), but then the media gets to watch it some two weeks before the general public (like TROK). He wouldn't have been so "affirmative" if he was talking about the media show. So. Apparently, someone in Portugal is going to show POA, to the general public, the latest on May 31... This has obviously been negotiated with Warner Bros, it is public (there's an announcement of that date in one of the posters). I really can't imagine this is a world premiere, so there are other theatres, everywhere, with this planned... ??? *** Cristina Rebelo ?ngelo www.cangelo.novelcity.com / ICQ 106255886 / Yahoo Messenger cristina_angelo / Fax (USA) 001-425-920-0285 HPGCv1 a31 e++ x+ -- z+++ A27 Rhp HPa S+++ Mo HaP++ HG++ RW++ AD++ RH+++ VK& NhN& SB& DM--- O++ F sfD Any attached file not mentioned in the body of the message may be a virus; if present, delete it for the sake of your computer, and inform the sender.

I don't remember where I heard all of these rumors, but some examples are: 1) Trelawney on the stairs & smelling like alcohol? - definately OoP 2) Angry Harry - definately OoP [Although I admit Harry is much more assertive in PoA than SS(PS) or CoS.] 3) Harry in the park near Magnolia Crescent? - definately OoP Needed to vent, Andrea :) From rvotaw at i-55.com Wed Jan 7 01:38:40 2004 From: rvotaw at i-55.com (Richelle Votaw) Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2004 19:38:40 -0600 Subject: [HPFGU-Movie] Harry Potter Cast Lineup References: Message-ID: <017101c3d4be$fc772f90$61a2cdd1@RVotaw> > Does anyone know how long the main cast has been signed?

And Lets > not forget that they're supposed to be 12ft tall. These pics have been spread around the net for MONTHS. They ARE fakes. The "dementors" are actually an edited screenshot of ring wraiths from the Lord of the Rings. If you'll look here: http://www.mugglenet.com/movies/gallery1/fanpics/index.php? dir=anddemen&pic=1.jpg There's the picture of the "dementors" and the patronus. The site specifically says that it is a fan made creation. (linked from here: http://www.mugglenet.com/movies/gallery1/fanpics/index.php ) As for the picture of just the dementors, there was a site somewhere that had a side by side comparision of a shot from LotR and this manipulated picture. I can't find it anymore though. I'm sure it still exists. But anyway, the point is, yes, they are both FAKES. -Heather From sara1412au at yahoo.com Wed Jan 7 10:42:01 2004 From: sara1412au at yahoo.com (Sara_ELL) Date: Wed, 07 Jan 2004 10:42:01 -0000 Subject: Harry Potter Cast Lineup--Rumor In-Reply-To: <004401c3d4e7$3a5b4620$6401a8c0@sd.cox.net> Message-ID: --- In HPFGU-Movie at yahoogroups.com, "Heather Maffioli" wrote [SNIP] Rowan Atkinson will indeed be playing Voldemort. I hope this is not the case. Well, bowl me over and call me Susan! (sorry... Blackadder flashback just then). I would've thought that Rowan Atkinson would be better suited to be Mad Eye Moody but, if wipe the last 12 or so years of his acting career from your brain, and watch him as the decidedly nasty Lord Edmund Blackadder, it could work. Seriously though, IMO, his plastic features (AKA rubber face) and method of over exaggerated acting work fine in comedic characters such as Mr Bean however, the point of Voldemort in GOF is not to be a nasty hammy villain but a blood chilling apparition - hopefully he and the director will not overlook this.

Anyway, the article states the Rowan Atkinson has not been cast to play anyone yet in the next HP film. Here is the link to the article. http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/world/newsid_3376000/3376933.stm Personally, I think Rowan would be an interesting Ludo Bagman not a good Voldermort but someone more creepy needs to be Voldermort like maybe Sir Anthony Hopkins. He would be brilliant as Voldermort or Moody I think. He has a way with his facial expressions. I orginally only thought of him for Moody due to the way he can make his eyes look odd but then the other day I was at a video store and they had Hannibal playing (which I thought was inappropriate with all the kids running around checking out video games but what the hey). Anyway, I stopped and watched it for a few moments and he was holding a knife or some sharp object and talking to his victim and I thought it was so creepy that he would make a great Voldermort.

However, on route, several listies chimed in with interesting points. I'd like to add one. For me the really hard character to voice when I'm reading HP to Megan and William (my kids) is Volde. We know he's powerful, we know he's accomplished, we know he's evil, we know he's scary, and we know he has a high pitched voice. I can never seem to make the voice high pitched without sacrificing one of the other requirements. I don't find Stephen Fry's rendition convincing and I cannot remeber Jim Dale's.

I picture Lavender as looking a little bit like Hermione. (in fact, is she that long, wavy haired girl that shows up in the first 2 movies?) And Padma & Pavarti Patil certainly sounds Hindu. The only one I envisioned as "Asian" was Cho. Isn't it interesting how so many people read these books and so many have their own vision of the characters?

Excellent call on the Mad-Eye thing - I had never been able to picture anyone in Moody's role while reading the books (and some face normally springs to mind for everyone) but Rowan Atkinson would be perfect!

But I'm right, aren't I, that if you say "Asian" (as in the casting call) you (in Britain) are prompting people to think of Indians and their neighbors first and foremost? That's the usage I've seen without exception on TV in Britain, and presumably the casting directors thought the call for "Asian" girls was unambiguous, since they didn't add any qualifiers. What term would the casting directors have used if they wanted girls from the far east to apply? (Not trying to be combative here; I genuinely want to know.)

That's the usage I've seen without exception on TV in Britain, and You're right. For the record, I'm of Chinese origin, and I have had occasions when people said "Asian" and meant specifically from the Indian subcontinent. Those from the Far East (or have ethnicities orginating from there) would be Chinese, Japanese, Thai, etc. Things get v complicated when ethnic Chinese from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia etc are involved though.... In all my years, I have never been referred to as "Asian" or "Oriental"!!! Funny - oriental as applied to food, furnishings, etc is fine, but applied to people faintly brings up a very mild perceived racism. Which is why you don't call people "oriental". > presumably the casting directors thought the call for "Asian" girls was > unambiguous, since they didn't add any qualifiers.

I think I might have touched on it already. They would probably have asked for ethnic Chinese / Japanese etc, because the differences between the different groups is quite noticeable - and I must add, the "Chinese" face that would pop up in Brit minds would be a Hong Kong face, not a north Chinese face....

Tanya suggested that this image is a fake, and I agree. It's well done, but it can't be from PoA (ergo, it must be a fake) for one simple reason: Harry's hair. You've all noticed that his hair will be a lot shorter in HP3, particularly in the back. Harry's haircut in this picture however, looks very much like his haircut from CoS, or even PS.

I hope you all have a wonderful year 2004. Now me: Yes, Lupin is just straight out of the Shrieking Shack shot, only flipped. However, this Harry is not from COS, but SS. At first I thought is was him from the dueling scene, but it's not. His hair was different, shorter on top I believe. I think we can all agree that it's a fake, like that "Don't look behind you" Sirius poster with Gary Oldman and the dreadlocks.

Right now it's around 80-90 members. I'm subscribed in digest form, but it looks to be generating around 10-12 messages a day right now. We've also set it up with a 'circuit breaker'-if it gets too busy, a temporary hold will be placed on new mwmbers until things quiet down a bit.

At the same time, Cuar?n knew he was not at liberty to reimagine the film from the ground up. While he wasn't exactly constrained to paint by the numbers, much of his filmmaking canvas already had been sketched in. Even if he wanted to, for example, Cuar?n couldn't hire a new composer ? he was obligated to use John Williams, who provided the score for the first two "Harry Potter" films. Similarly, Cuar?n couldn't redesign Hogwarts, overhaul Diagon Alley, or recast any lead roles (outside of replacing Richard Harris, who played Hogwarts' head of school, Albus Dumbledore, in the first two films but died in October 2002). And finally, Columbus would be looking over Cuar?n's shoulder, as he remained in London as one of the film's executive producers. ... "The whole goal of taking a franchise in a new direction is what keeps them alive," Cuar?n says. "Jo Rowling said to me, 'Don't be literal. Just be faithful to the spirit.' You might have hits and misses. But it's always going to be fresh."

That plaque in the trophy room has the wrong position for James, as JKR said that he was a Chaser and not a Seeker. Also, not to totally bring mainlist stuff here, she has never officially said that James was in Gryffindor(though I think he was). They may have just used her name because it's one they knew and it's likely that she was in Gryffindor. But once again, I wouldn't take that as proof of anything seeing as that scene doesn't even happen in the book. In the book McGonagall says "You're father would have been proud. He was an excellent Quidditch player himself."(SS-152US PB) No mention of postion or House. ~Kathryn __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

That > was a mega-epicwhat with all the fight scenes.! > My guess as to why it will cost more than Return of the King is that since the LOTR movies were filmed simultaneously, they don't know exactly how much money each cost. I doubt all of the people from Weta workshop said "I worked this many hours on Fellowship and this many on Two Towers..." And alot of sets were used in all the movies, (for instance the cost of the Shire was probably all factored into the Fellowship budget) So, I'm sure that if the LOTR movies were made at seperate times and the sets changed and costumes changed as we have in the HP movies, it would have had a higher budget. ~Kathryn __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I'm with you, Marci. Let's keep our fingers crossed that Newell won't attempt to talk down to his audience in a sappy, altered "child-friendly" version of GoF and instead uses his enormous budget to simply create the best movie he can, builing on the growth and development of the young characters Cuaron has begun. I think if he takes this attitude, everyone will be happy.

This guy obviously isn't aware of how the Harry Potter series blurs the generational boundaries. Do you know how many adults I see reading the series on the metro, and such?

OOP and GOF can't be done at the same time. Maybe if Steve (or someone else) rushed with an OOP screenplay. But the action takes place in too many different places. In LOTR, just about everything could be used more than once. You film the beginning in Hobbiton and the end in Hobbiton, all the same set. blah blah blah. If in book 6, most of the action takes place again at 12GP (for some reason), simultaneous filming of OOP and HP6 would be possible. I personally think they should do it.

That leaves us to assume that he just took the snitch to play with cause it's cooler than a Quaffle. ~Katie __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

That would cause a few problems, since there are fast-growing teenagers in leading roles. If they were filming books 5 through 7 at the same time, it's logical that Harry and Ron, at least, and possibly Hermione as well, would get taller and perhaps fill out (get more adult musculature) during that time, but if they were filming all of those at the same time, you'd have 15-year-old size Harry in book 7 scenes, perhaps, which wouldn't work. Elijah Wood was 18 and therefore pretty much grown when they did LOTR, so he wasn't going to change a whole lot over the three years of filming. But you can see some changes in his facial structure in the second and third film, probably scenes they "picked up" (reshot) when they had the cast return to New Zealand a year or two after the filming was complete. There was one place in film 2 or 3 where Frodo's face had the softness of a teenager's face, then in a scene not long after that, his face was more angular, like an adult's (and he's in his 20's now, remember), then a later scene showed him with the younger, softer face again. That's why Moaning Myrtle, who's supposed to stay the same age throughout the books because she's a ghost, is played by an adult, who should stay looking about the same for quite a few years. I read somewhere recently that the producers or studio seem to think the kids will be too old to act in the movies past Goblet of Fire. I think that's ridiculous -- they're still very close in age to the ages in the books, and there are lots of movies with teenagers parts played by adults (look at "Smallville" on TV, for instance, where Clark Kent is played at the age of 16-17 by Tom Welling, who's 25 or so now -- that's just one example). I hope they keep the same actors through all the films, as long as the kids are willing to continue!

I think Emma and Dan will not be a problem with playing teens at an older age. I think that Rupert has the 'filling out early' potential though. Just a hunch. But it could still be pulled off. Just think of 21-Jump Street, 90210, The Lost Boys, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy and Emilio Estevez playing teens in The Breakfast Club, and possibly the best example of an adult playing a teen, Ralph Macchio in The Karate Kid. He was pushing 30 around part two. LOL Elijah Wood can still play a teen as well. Gabrielle Union was in her mid twenties playing a teen in Bring It On. See? No big deal, right?

Bookworm: Not to say that Professor McGonagall didn't play Quidditch, but she wouldn't have been on the same team as she is much older than James and friends. Back in 2000 (after GoF was released) JKR said (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.net/scholastic2.shtml)that "Professor McGonagall is a sprightly seventy."

Maybe if Steve (or someone else) rushed with an OOP screenplay. But the action takes place in too many different places. In LOTR, just about everything could be used more than once. You film the beginning in Hobbiton and the end in Hobbiton, all the same set. blah blah blah. If in book 6, most of the action takes place again at 12GP (for some reason), simultaneous filming of OOP and HP6 would be possible. I personally think they should do it.

Mandy here: The children have sighed on for GoF. OotP is still open. I wouldn't be too concerned about loosing the children. Even though most people seem to think they are getting too old, they aren't really. Think about it; it takes about 15-18 months to create one HP movie, so when PoA comes out in June every one will be thinking "Wow! Don't they look grown up" and will talk all about the fact that the 'current' age of the stars is 15-16 when the characters are only 13, and will forget that the stars were only 14 when they made the film, what will be a year ago. Currently the stars are running about a year older then their characters, which is perfectly acceptable. For GoF they will be 15/16 year olds playing 14 years olds, and for OotP they will be 16/17 year olds playing 15 year olds. (If they start filming OotP right away in 2005.) Even if production gets does get pushed back, I don't see a problem with a 19 or 20 year old playing a 17/18 year old in movie 7. The actor who played Tom Riddle in CoS was 21 I believe, playing a 17 year old boy! Which I thought worked well. The problem will be if JKR doesn't or can't get books 6 and 7 out within the next 3 years. Filming will hit a full stop. Warner Bros will be ready to start filming movie 6 in 2006, and movie 7 in 2007, hopefully we will have Books 6 and 7 by then. Not only for Warner Bros but for me too, the thought of waiting another 3 years for book 6 is stressful. ;-) Of course JKR is not writing for Warner Bros and no matter how much she might like her child movie stars, she is not going to rush her books out to keep Warner Bros happy. She writes at her own speed and good for her. And if I have to wait for 3 years for her to produce book 6, I'll wait, I want it to be as good as it can be.

Didn't Dan just turn 14 in July? And Emma is a year younger than Dan, I believe. So Dan will be filming PoA and GoF at the age of 14, so he pretty much would be right in sink with his character, Harry. I do agree that most of them can pull off teen through all the movies. The actor who portrayed Percy was in his 20's I think, and he played a teen very well. The problem will be if JKR doesn't or can't get books 6 and 7 out within the next 3 years.

It is one of the best that has been written since HP started. The interview with the trio is the best I have ever seen. You really get a feel for who these kids really are. They seem to be turning into their characters. Example the essay that the director had them write about their characters. Dan wrote about 4 pages, Rupert wrote a much shorter one and did not turn it in. While Emma wrote 40 pages. And what has been posted is just part of the total report. Reported to be in 4 segments.

Bill From CoyotesChild at charter.net Fri Jan 23 16:32:28 2004 From: CoyotesChild at charter.net (Iggy McSnurd) Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2004 10:32:28 -0600 Subject: Goofs in the second HP movie Message-ID: <000501c3e1ce$836da760$18667144@Einstein> Iggy here: And, here's the one I found for the second movie on the IMDB site... Iggy McSnurd Goofs for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) Continuity: When Harry breaks his right arm playing Quidditch, he takes great care to keep it held up as he rolls from side to side to avoid the bludger, but at one point he puts his weight on it without any apparent discomfort. In the next shot he is holding it across his stomach again. Revealing mistakes: When Harry and Hagrid hug (when Hagrid has just returned from Azkaban), the flames in the bowls hanging on the wall behind them burn backward briefly. Revealing mistakes: During the Quidditch match, the wire that attaches the broom to Harry is visible for several seconds. Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The students are able to carry on conversations and hear instructions while wearing the earmuffs that protect them from the screams of the mandrake roots. We assume the earmuffs to be enchanted to specifically block mandrake screams, but not other sounds. Despite what "it says in the book" there is nothing in the movie to suggest that this could not be the case. Continuity: Ron receives the "Howler" from his mother. After his owl, Errol crashes into the table, you can see that the red envelope is open, as Ron removes it from Errol's mouth. We then see Ron breaking the seal on this envelope so he can read it. Revealing mistakes: The Cornish pixies pick up Longbottom by the ears, pulling them up and out. But when the creatures let go, his ears are still being held up. Continuity: When Harry and Ron's car is caught by the tree, a limb smashes a hole in the rear window but the hole is missing in one shot when the car tips forward while falling out of the tree. Incorrectly regarded as goofs: At the beginning of the transfiguration lesson, the writing on the blackboard behind Professor McGonagall is reversed, and this has been reported as a flipped shot. However, further observation reveals that the right-hand board is, for undisclosed wizardy reasons, a mirror image of the left-hand board and so this is not an error. Continuity: After the car has ejected Harry and Ron, there is a distance shot of both boys getting to their feet as their luggage is thrown out. Two shots later, Harry is shown still laying on the ground, propped up on his elbows. Continuity: When Harry and Ron are in the Dark Forest and the spiders begin to attack, Hagrid's dog gets in the car twice. Continuity: During the scene when you first meet Moaning Myrtle and she is on top of the girls sink the cauldron is smoking but when she flies down into the toilet it is not smoking. Revealing mistakes: When Ron is on all fours beginning to cough up slugs, Harry says, "Let's take him to Hagrid's." Hermione mouths the lines with him. Revealing mistakes: When Harry and Ron find out Lockhart is a fraud, when Lockhart says, "My boy do you use your common sense? My books wouldn't have sold half as well if people didn't think I'd done all those things." Harry is mouthing his lines. Continuity: When Harry is chasing after Dobby in his house and they get to the downstairs hallway they both stop running. Harry stops and he has one leg in front of him. In the next shot, the other leg is in front of him instead. Revealing mistakes: In the scene where the Weasleys' enchanted car has ejected them and Ron and Harry are chasing the car, you can see the hand and silhouette of the driver Continuity: When Mr. Weasley first gets home, Fred and George are sitting in the two seats nearest the door. When he first talks to Harry the seat next to him is empty. When Errol flies in with the mail Fred and George are sitting next to him again.

Iggy McSnurd Goofs for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) Crew or equipment visible: The mechanism which makes the Quidditch box shake can be seen when the box falls over. Miscellaneous: As the three children run across the field to Hagrid's hut, Harry says a few lines ending with "...why didn't I see it before?" Hermione is mouthing Harry's lines with him. Factual Errors: The snake that Harry talks to blinks. Snakes don't have eyelids, making it impossible for them to blink. It is repeatedly pointed out that snakes can't talk, either, but in the context of the movie, this is acceptable while the snake's blink is a simple mistake. Continuity: When Harry is taking notes in Snape's class his handwriting is small and neat. When seen from Snape's point of view it is large and sloppy. Crew or equipment visible: When Harry, Ron, and Hermione are struggling in the Devil's Snare, a puppeteer can be seen on the left of the screen, working at least some of the masses of tendrils. Continuity: During the train journey, Ron's hair is parted in several different places. Crew or equipment visible: The shadows of a cameraman and a camera are visible on the wall in the Mirror of Erised scene. Continuity: Harry's glasses sometimes have lenses, and sometimes don't, as do Dumbledore's. Continuity: On the train scene, the same hill as well as lake (as seen by the waves in the middle of the water) are seen multiple times Audio/visual unsynchronised: Harry, Dudley, and Uncle Vernon during the flying letters sequence. Miscellaneous: When Harry receives his first letter, Uncle Vernon says "Your letter? Who would be writing to you?", Dudley is standing next to him and is seen mouthing Uncle Vernon's lines. Continuity: When Hermione runs across the field her bag switches arms. Revealing mistakes: In the scene with the flying keys, we can see the string holding up the broomstick just before Harry grabs it. Continuity: When Harry goes looking for a book on Nicolas Flamel in the restricted section he opens up the screaming book to the first page. When the book starts to scream he is in the middle of the book. Crew or equipment visible: When Harry, Ron, and Hermione just left Fluffy for the first time and walk into their dorm area, we see, under the painting, the feet of someone closing the painting. Continuity: The note that Hagrid gives to the teller in the bank is wrinkled in one shot, neat and clean in the next, and then back to wrinkled. Continuity: When Hagrid's cabin is shown the windows are so high up that even Hagrid can't see through them while standing on the ground. Later in the film, when Draco Malfoy spies on Hagrid through the window, the window appears to be at his eye level, and he turns and runs away, revealing that he wasn't standing on anything to make him tall enough to reach the window. Continuity: When Harry and Hagrid are walking down Diagon Alley, the same group of people walk past them, in the opposite direction, twice. Continuity: In Diagon Alley, Harry and Hagrid walk past the same cart and storefront three times. In the opening wide shot, they walk past the purple storefront with the yellow moving scissors and the cart of market goods in front of it. Three shots later, the storefront and cart are shown again in detail, as Harry and Hagrid pass. The next shot shows them passing the cart (with a stack of cauldrons in the background). Several shots later, after passing the store with the owls, they are seen once again passing the cart with the same stack of cauldrons in the background. Continuity: Just after passing Madam Malkin's shop and before the owl emporium in Diagon Alley, a woman dressed all in black and a man with a burgandy top hat and mutton chops pass on Harry's right walking in the opposite direction. In the next shot, as Harry looks to his left, the same pair can be seen standing and chatting in the doorway of the owl emporium. Continuity: In Diagon Alley, Harry and Hagrid pass many groups of people multiple times, though they appear to be walking continuously in one direction. Watch for the wizard with curly red hair, the man with a top hat and mutton chops, and the group of three girls who cross in the foreground of the opening shot. Continuity: When Ron gets drooled on by Fluffy and gets wet, but two shots later he's completely dry. Errors in geography: When Harry arrives at Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall announces that the Sorting Ceremony will begin "momentarily". In UK English, momentarily means "for a moment" (i.e. briefly), and a Scottish witch as pedantic and precise as McGonagall would never use the American meaning of the word ("in a moment" or "soon"), even though the American meaning might be well understood. Continuity: Harry appears older in the flashback of Voldemort killing his parents than he does when Hagrid brings him bundled up to the Dursleys' at the beginning. Continuity: When the first years climb the stairs and meet Professor McGonagall for the first time, Ron's robe is hanging partly open in one shot, but is closed in the next. Continuity: In Olivander's, Harry tries two wands, and puts each in the same place. But during Olivander's explanation, the camera shows the area where he put the wands, but only one is there. Audio/visual unsynchronised: When Harry and Ron are fighting the troll in the girl's toilet, they use a spell to lift the troll's club over its head and drop it. The club does hit the troll and makes an appropriate sound effect, but then the club falls to the floor, it makes no sound at all. Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Many viewers believe that the infant Harry in the flashback is wearing anachronistic Blue's Clues pajamas. The design on the sleeve is actually a rabbit. Crew or equipment visible: During the chess scene, the shadow of a figure can be seen covering a light shining on the chess board near the bottom of the screen. Continuity: When Harry is struggling with his broom in the first quidich game, he almost falls off and is hanging from it. Near the base of the handle a large wire bracket is clearly visible. Possibly to support the rider's feet while riding it. The bracket isn't visible on any of the other brooms, and it doesn't appear on Harry's broom at any other time in the movie.

He actually always comes across really nice and complimentary of everyone else. Thank God this kid isn't being raised in Hollywood! > They seem to be turning into their characters. Example the essay > that the director had them write about their characters. Dan wrote > about 4 pages, Rupert wrote a much shorter one and did not turn it > in. While Emma wrote 40 pages. That was quite funny. I think having them write essays was an excellent idea , to make them really think about where their characters minds are for this film. I also like that Dan said we are going to see more of book 5 angry Harry than the too passive (IMO) Harry we saw in the two previous films. I'm really looking forward to June.

Though I'm not sure if she looks like she could have had the remnants of beauty Rowling said Bellatrix had. One person I could think of, who might be too young, is Catherine Zeta Jones, and yes I know she might be TOO beautiful, but they can probably make her look really worn with make up and still beautiful.

She was utterly evil in 'Sleephollow' and 'Spider', totally insane as Queenie in 'Blackadder', not to mention the little girl voice as Queenie is perfect for Bella when she is making fun of Harry. Remember her in that black wig as the IRA assassin in 'The Crying Game?' And she made a great evil witch as Mab in 'Merlin.' Some of the pictures of her as Mab are perfect images of Bellatrix IMO. She is in her forties but I think that's the perfect age, Miranda is beautiful and she is not afraid to look ugly on screen as well.

I was going to say, "Two words; Miranda Richardson." I have cast her as Bellatrix in my dream cast. I thought of her because of Sleepy Hollow and The Crying Game. So far, two of my picks for characters have been cast (Branagh and Thompson). Next are Tracy Ullmann for Rita Skeeter, Richardson for Bellatrix, Ian Holm for Mundungus... Ok, I'll stop for now. LOL But Miranda for Bellatrix gets my vote.

LOL > > But Miranda for Bellatrix gets my vote. Now me (Mathilde): I totally agree with the both of you about Miranda Richardson (what a fantastic actress! Loved her in Sleepy Hollow -which reminds me... if only they had appointed my darling Tim Burton to direct GoF... [sigh]- and also, in a totally different register, in Stephen Daldry's The Hours). My own first choice for Bellatrix, though, would rather be Kristin Scott-Thomas -she's the one I was seeing in my head all the time as I was reading OotP. I think she could be amazing, she just has the right kind of cold beauty that can easily be spooky as well as fascinating, and with the right make-up she could easily look like she's spent the last thirteen years in Azkaban. But I won't mind at all if they do cast Richardson instead of Scott-Thomas. :) Anyway, talking about casting ideas, there has been so much discussing about various casting possibilities over the last few weeks, so I was thinking... Why not do again what we did last summer, and establish a list of our dream cast? The idea would be to make a list of the still to be cast characters, and each group member coming up with a new idea copy-paste the list in a post and add their own ideas... (do I make sense here?) Mathilde, who was very happy to read that Newell and co are really casting real french people for the BeauxBtons crowd... youpi! PS: about Mundungus... I know this must seem completely crazy, but I keep picturing him as... er... Peter Mullan! It's official: I'm loosing it... :) PS2: Has everyone read the latest PoA set report on The Leaky Cauldron? There's a very cool interview with the Trio, Dan and Emma are as adorable as usual! :) From HMaffioli at cox.net Sun Jan 25 15:46:53 2004 From: HMaffioli at cox.net (Heather Maffioli) Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2004 07:46:53 -0800 Subject: [HPFGU-Movie] Re: casting Bellatrix References: <1075019447.342.43372.m12@yahoogroups.com> <1075039755.4013ce0b7cd01@imp2-a.free.fr> Message-ID: <000901c3e35a$74876d20$6401a8c0@sd.cox.net> Mathilde: Anyway, talking about casting ideas, there has been so much discussing about various casting possibilities over the last few weeks, so I was thinking...

I have always thought of Kristin Scott-Thomas as Narcissa. She is so beautiful and can pull off the snob so well, I thought of her while reading Goblet of Fire as I had just seen 4 Weddings and a Funeral again. Then I confirmed my feelings when I saw her in Gosford Park. Wow was she a snob who knew she was beautiful just like Narcissa. As for Bellatrix, Miranda Richardson would work, however, also in Gosford Park was Natasha Wightman and she has dark hair and is rather pale. She also has an aristocratic look to her and in one scene even had an almost evil look. For those of you who haven't seen Gosford Park it is a wonderful mystery film that has a mainly British cast and shows the differences between aristocrats and their 'staff' at their manors. It also has Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon, Geraldine Somerville (aka Lily Potter), Stephen Fry (he is the one who reads the HP books in the British versions of the audio books) and a host of other wonderful actors. I had seen the film before but bought the DVD as I liked it plus I wanted to see the interaction between Michael Gambon and Maggie Smith to prepare me for him as Dumbledore. He is very good in this film. Anyway, I watched it just before read book 5 and so I kept thinking of Kristin Scott-Thomas as Narcissa and Natasha Wightman as Bellatrix. Back to lurking...

I like Billy Connolly for Mad-Eye. If he weren't so BIG physically, I would've loved to see Liam Neeson as Lupin -- his face is the one I've seen when reading the books -- he has kind of a sad nobility to his face that I see in my mental image of Lupin. I do hope you guys who know the Brit actors and come up with ideas for them will be able to include pics of them -- that would be great!

Several of the new items were based on the 3rd movie and so they won't be shipped until June, but I got to see the pictures! Available in June will be a tartan hat (with ear flaps) just like McGonagall's cap in the movies (seen in CoS, I believe). Also new is the small round hat with tassel worn by Dumbledore in the 3rd movie. A new wizard hat for Dumbledore -very cool! Another new hat for McGonagall -I don't have the catalog yet, so I can't remember exactly what it looks like. And finally, a pair of googles, as in flying goggles, for Harry! Since the reps hadn't seen the movie, of course, but had read the books, we speculated that the goggles must be for the Quidditch scenes. That's going to be something new! As for the other items, which have been available for a while, I also ordered the Sorting Hat (movie version), McGonagalls' green witch hat with feather, Flitwick's hat, Madame Hooch's hat plus Harry Potter's glasses, Dumbledore's glasses and McGonagall's glasses.

However, when the man? turns and faces away from the shut door, a second later the door is blown in. Now if that was LV backing up to the door, who shot who? I could get into all sorts of wild theories here, but will leave it for now. The man, was also standing with his back to the wall at right angles to the door looking into the room as Lily was slamming the door. He didn't turn right around, I mean he didn't turn 360 degrees. Then we have Lily screaming as she slowly falls bending backwards almost. Now, maybe they had to do something in the movie, but that posture and duration seems to be more Crucio than AK. I understood the AK was instant and super quick. u8t in the sequence, she didn't have much time to put harry in the crib after the door was blown in.
