Point well taken, and it always really bothers me when he gives Ron's more
intelligent lines to Hermione just to show us how smart she is.  OTOH, I did
like how they used her in PoA to verbalize what Harry was thinking in the book.
 I'm referring to the scene near the end where Harry is waiting for his dad to
come and save the day.  They could have done that with a dorky voiceover, or he
could have been talking to himself, but I think it worked well having Hermione
there.  The dialogue between the two of them mimics Harry's thought process
from the book without being contrived.  This is one of those things you can do
in a book, but it doesn't work so well in a film.

The script excerpt from GoF looks similar.  In the book, Harry is very
introspective here, so film Hermione can play the same role she did by the lake
in PoA.  Meanwhile, they've also compressed a few different plot lines into a
short time - hinting at Hermione/Krum, Rita Skeeter's article about
Harry/Hermione, a bit of exposition about Barty Crouch's past.  It sounds like
a fun scene, loaded with clues.  In any case, the dragon fight itself should be
stunning!

Is there a new JKR biography on on Monday? I have something

I searched the Biography and A&E sites and couldn't find a thing. 
Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Thanks anyone

The other thing to remember is that Harry and Ron aren't talking to 
each other at this point in the story.  So obviously Hermione would 
be there and not Ron.

Valerie, 



Nope, she's not.  That's a movie thing.
 
Movies change so much of what's in books, it's just amazing.   I just 
discovered my Palm Pilot has two books stored in it (it came that way),  one of which 
is "The Wizard of Oz" which I've never read.  So I've started  reading it 
when I have to be in a waiting room somewhere, or something.   Dorothy had SILVER 
SHOES not ruby slippers, and the beautiful witch who started  her on the 
yellow brick road was an old woman, not a beautiful young woman (and  not named 
"Glinda").  So many differences already.  "Aunt Em" not  "Auntie Em" -- etc.  
Interesting, especially when I know the "Wizard" movie  so well.  It would be 
nice to know why screen writers come up with some of  the changes they do -- I 
think most of the time it's to keep the movie more  visually interesting.  Ruby 
slippers are much prettier (and more exotic)  than silver shoes, for 
instance.  Can't wait to see GoF!!

I want to say first, I love the casting they've done so far for GoF,
both unknowns and established actors.  They always do such a good 
job of casting these films.  I remember reading in one post that 
Katie Leung (Cho Chang) was lovely.  I can't find a picture of her, 
does anyone know a site that has one?

Also, I really love the pick of Brendan Gleeson for Moody.  That's 
one of my favorite characters and I think they will do a good job of
 makeup for him and I just can't wait to see it.  Also, Rita Skeeter 
is another favorite character (absolutely hilarious) and I love the 
pick for her as well.  ALso love Ralph Fiennes as VM, he played a 
bad guy in Red Dragon, I think he will be great.

  MAE (praying they include the Yule Ball. Ron and Harry are such
typical 15 year-old boys in it.

Becki;
I am at a disadvantage because I am American and am not as familier 
with many of your British actors, but, I thought Jeremy Irons would 
have made a perfect Lord Voldemort.  Actually, not taking away from 
Alan Rickman, but he would have made a good Snape as well.

(I think Mugglenet had some shots of Leung, but they wern't very 
good.  They looked like someone used their phone camera on the 
streets. Perhaps do an archive search)

That wasn't my point.  Obviously, the champions are in the tent alone 
in the book... but if you're going to have someone in the tent with 
him to sort of speak his emotions, as someone else mentioned... you 
couldn't use Ron at this point in the story.

I assume you've seen The Red Dragon? The character he played in that, 
while a bad guy (and played very well), was quite different from 
Voldemort. Is he normally that muscular? Because in The Red Dragon he 
physically looked and sounded nothing like Voldemort. I guess I'll 
have to wait to see the movie, but I know when I see the final scene 
I'm going to be distracted by the words 'I am the Dragon' popping

Yeah, mine too. Strange that he happened to be in a movie where he 
was dressed up like that, makes it easy to see him as Voldemort 
(reminds me of Alan Rickman in the beginning of Robin Hood, very 
Death-Eaterish). I was sort of hoping for Jeremy Irons, he seems to 
fit better. Oh well, hopefully it'll work out in the film, I haven't 
been disappointed with a casting decision yet, so there must be a 
reason they chose him.

Now Sheryll:

Ralph Fiennes is just too good looking, IMO, for the
role. I'll echo Kelley's choise of Bill Nighy. I've
seen in 2-3 movie lately and think he'd have been the
perfect choice.

As someone who's seen almost all of Ralph's film
roles, trust me on this: Ralph will have absolutely NO
problem playing Voldemort. He's a shape-shifter in
terms of the roles he plays (much like Johnny Depp
who, while extremely handsome, can sink completely
into the strangest of roles). From the pot-bellied,
cold-eyed Amon Goeth in "Schindler's List" to the
druggie in "Strange Days", to the burned and
disfigured de Almasy in "The English Patient" - Ralph
can play good or evil, handsome or homely (and
everything in between) with ease. He's a really
terrific actor. I was far more worried about how Gary
Oldman would do as Sirius, and I thought he was great.
I was so thrilled when Ralph was cast, because I have
absolutely no fears about how he'll do. And besides -
as for his being handsome... film make-up can do some
pretty amazing things.

That could BE Lord Voldemort!!! Wonder if he was considered at all for the
part? Does anyone know who might have been up for it? I always wonder how
much of it is "who you know", and how good your agent is.
I must say the choice of Gary Oldman as Sirius still somewhat bugs me.
A) He's a bit too old, though I guess the other Marauders, and Snape, are as
well)
B) I've seen images of him from other films where he has LONG black hair
that would've satisfied me a bit more, in terms of character identity.
But then again, I'm a serious Sirius fanatic, so I suppose I just had a
mental image of this tall, gaunt, scraggly, but still devilishly handsome
guy! >;-)

I'm also a big Fiennes fan. I first saw him in Shindler's List, and though
his character was absolutely dispicable, even in black & white, I was
transfixed by his gorgeous eyes! Maybe that's why I can't (or don't want to)
picture him as an evil, creepy monster with red slits for eyes!!
Jeremy Irons...yes, another good choice.

Message-ID: <6AE200DC.7F0DE2CD.0004E520@aol.com>

While Ralph Fiennes is quite nice looking, and has incredible eyes, none of that really matters. As someone said, makeup can do incredible things. And contacts will render Ralph's eye color a completely moot point. What matters is his acting, and I expect he can play coldly evil as well as anyone, IMO, given some of his previous roles.

I also had hoped for Jeremy Irons to be cast as Voldemort, for a few 
reasons. With the dark-haired Tom Riddle in CoS, the transition to 
Jeremy Irons would be a lot easier to see. Also, I love Jeremy's 
acting and his smooth menacing charisma. 

But the major reason was to see the brothers from the Die Hard series 
reunited (or actually paired together). Alan Rickman was Hans in the 
first Die Hard, and Jeremy Irons was his blonde brother in Die Hard 
with a Vengeance, targetting Bruce Willis for killing his brother. 
Now how sweet would that be for Alan/Severus to bow down to 
his "brother" Jeremy/Voldemort. Plus, I miss seeing Jeremy in the 
movies...I do cherish the makeup commercials his does the voiceover 
for.

Sassy....if only I was casting director...

Personally, I always thought Bill Nighy would be very good for Lupin--very
lined but still youthful looking face, the right age to be compatible with
Rickman's Snape, the ability to express understated and/or awkward
sentiment.

But, since the casting directors have chosen to ignore me on this (as on
Peter O'Toole for Dumbledore), surely Nighy is talented enough to do
Voldemort as well. Without the problem of being *attractive* in the
role--Nighy would have managed to be sensual but repulsive, and I don't know
that Fiennes can do that.

always pictured, well something like I see every morning for her 
hair. I was truly grossed out by Stan's pimples... they were so 
horrible. I also picked up a wand in the gift shop outside the 
theatre. Overall it was a great day, especially because it is only 
showing at the zoo and I got HP and baby tigers in one day.

Mandy here:
I agree on Bill Nighy, he would have been a truly fantastic 
Voldemort.  Did you see him in Shawn of the Dead? 

Sensual and Repulsive. Very difficult to pull off, especially as 
they both, like beauty, exist in the eye of the beholder.  But 
combining two of Ralph Finnes's roles from his remarkable body of 
work; those of Oscar in Oscar & Lucinda and Goth in Shindler's List 
I can see an interesting Voldemort. Definitely both sensual and 
repulsive.

Me, too!  All I could say was "WOW!!"  and my husband just didn't 
get it.  So many details I had missed when seeing it at the regular 
theatre, it was just so exciting to finally see it "UP BIG and 
CLOSE."  Loved it!  And, yes, Stan's pimples were really 
disgusting :D  I just wish I could see it ten more times in IMAX!

He can certainly do barking mad, coldly evil - see Schindler's List. 
Also you can see from Schindler's List, where he was decadently 
porky, and Red Dragon, where he was muscled up, that he can change 
his appearance for a role. The only thing that occurred to me is that 
he has quite a prominent nose, whereas Voldemort doesn't have one at 
all. I wonder how make-up are going to deal with that one.

Cut it off?

Okay, not so feasible to do that.  The
nose will probably go under the visual
effects budget to have it replaced by
computer, or just be ignored.  Noses
aren't really that big of a concern to
the overall "look" and if prosthesis
don't work, they'll probably pretend
there's not a problem.

In this and many of the replies, I see the same focus issues, some
people had when Gary Oldman was cast as Sirius.

I would hope, he's proved more than capable in that role, despite his
 non-traditional (a.k.a. in no way shape or form, vanilla) sexiness.

Personally, I see talent and not looks as the pivotal deciding factor
in my casting fantasy world. Though they can be a factor depending on
their importance in the role...But in this one, sure to be requiring
heavy make-up?? 

Um, I think not.

He's played everything from villian to leading man, with equal ease. I
see no reason why he should be hindered here.

Ralph Fiennes is more than capable of filling the evil shoes of
Voldemort, good-looking or not...Especially considering the
disfiguring prosthetics, sure to used, in his make-up.

P.S. I will admit however, that I too, orginally pictured Jeremy Irons
in the role.

Well, actually, I don't find him good-looking at all. I think his 
basic body shape and his voice don't fit for Voldemort. That, and 
I've seen The Red Dragon too many times, so I'm going to be 
disctracted by that when I see the movie. I wish they had chosen an 
unknown actor to play Voldemort, he's too mysterious of a character 
to be played by an actor that can be associated with other roles. 
(just my opinion though). 

Despite all that, I still have faith in the casting department, 
because I have yet to disagree with them. Could any of the Fiennes 
fans point me toward some of his movies?

I think you misheard something! If JKR was going to make an exception
and cast an American in a role, it would at least be someone who is very
highly regarded as an actor. For instance, Kathy Bates--who I can totally 
see as Umbridge. It certainly would not be David Hasselhoff.

[from Valerie]
The best recommendation I've heard is that tiny lady that's played in some
scary movies in the 80's like Poltergeist, and comedies like Pretty in Pink.
'Course she's American, but she's peculiar looking (frog-like) like I
picture Umbridge. But I believe someone also mentioned that she had passed
away. :-(
IMO Cathy Bates is too tall. I picture Umbridge as short, squatty, bustling
around Hogwarts. I hope they find someone who's able to portray the evil
insideousness of that character. AND I hope they don't dilute her/cut alot
out, in the film.
There must be some great British actress that comes to mind...?

akh: I'm also American and so have somewhat limited access to the pantheon of British actresses, but one that comes to mind in terms of stature and age-appropriate is Imelda Staunton.  I haven't seen her most recent movie, which is out currently (and whose name I don't remember), but I thought she was delightfully annoying in "Sense and Sensibility," and she demonstrated a wide vocal range, so I think she could handle the high-pitched voice.  Plus, she's worked with Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman, so it would be old home week!

most recent movie, which is out currently (and whose name I don't 
remember), but I thought she was delightfully annoying in "Sense and 
Sensibility," and she demonstrated a wide vocal range, so I think she 
could handle the high-pitched voice.  Plus, she's worked with Emma 
Thompson and Alan Rickman, so it would be old home week!

and Sensibility and Shakespeare in Love (she was the nurse). She has 
such a sweet face I don't know that I would have thought of Umbridge 
but her voice was certainly somewhat perfect if you watch the 
animated film Chicken Run - she did the voice for Bunty and that I 
can imagine sounding like Umbridge. I can still hear Bunty saying 'we 
mustn't panic' in that film. Still she seems too cute for Umbridge so 
they would need a good makeup person.

It hadn't occurred to me but, YES!
How could she pass up that opportunity?  Perhaps there could be a 
birthday on Halloween, Snape perhaps?  He seems to be a good 
candidate for that.  Hopefully more than just a birthday, how about 
a release date?

Becki (who knows that is just to much to hope for but...)

Rught. No birthday updates. We need a BIG Halloween surprise. 
Like... maybe more of the book? Another paragraph even! Uh... yes, I 
think hoping for a release date is too much to ask for. I remember 
before OOTP, I was totally and completely convinced they were 
secretly publishing it and about two weeks before Christmas they 
would surprise us all and say, "Surprise! The book will be in stores 
THIS weekend!" I was totally bummed when it didn't happen.

LOL  I love this.  I'm counting on some kind of significant piece of 
info on Halloween.  I like the idea of Snape's bday, but how about 
Tom?  hehe  Alas, it'll probably just say Happy Deathday Sir Nicholas!

There was a rumor in Wizard News about David Hasselhoff (as absurd as
it seems)...

Probably just an unfounded rumor

Seeing it in IMAX is incredible.  I saw it again the last weekend 
before it left the IMAX theater in Seattle.  This was a month ago or 
so.  I enjoyed seeing it so much (the third time at IMAX for me) 
that I didn't even get upset over a $25 parking ticket I got for my 
parking slip expiring while I was in the theater.  I had misread the 
parking instructions and thought I had purchased enough time.  Guess 
I was wrong.  :P
The movie had just started when the large family in the row in front 
of us got kicked out of the theater by the staff.  From what I 
overheard, this family of six or seven purchased only two or three 
tickets and snuck in the rest of their family through the side 
door.  They got caught because a mom and her two kids asked if 
they'd move down a few seats so they could sit together, but the 
large family ignored her and wouldn't move down.  When the woman 
went and got the staff to help her, the staff realized this family 
had not bought that many tickets at the door.  She asked them to 
show her their tickets, and they couldn't do is so out the door they 
went.  This was all happening as Aunt Marge was inflating on the 
screen.  It was a bit distracting.
It was the last weekend after the movie had been playing for months 
and months yet the theater was still full, which amazed me.

I think that's the press running away with themselves, frankly.  
Visiting the set does not equal getting a part in the movie.  We'd 
probably be suprised at how many celebrities finagle themselves an 
invite to the set of movies they like or their kids like.  

If I was a celebrity, I'd finagle myself an invite to the Harry 
Potter movie sets for certain.  :D

If he played anyone, it would have to be Gilderoy Lockhart, then he
wouldn't have to act, just be himself.  (snicker)

Hey Sassy!  I am an HP meetup organizer too.  I was browsing the 
groups and noticed the photo.  Are you in it, or did you take it?

It's so nice to finally see some of the other groups get active for a 
change!

Hey Marci - guilty as the photographer - I may have a picture from 
work to post soon - the municipality I work for had a best costume 
contest, so I went as a Slytherin student - I love my job!

Yes, it is nice to have a group that is actually meeting up to 
discuss HP. We decided meeting every 6 weeks would be better than 
every month - I send out invites if something else pops up before 
then. 
Next summer I would like to stage a HP scavenger hunt in the city - 
so as people are sorted teams are formed. Now that is a house cup one 
can be proud of!
I will check out your group site asap..ciao Sassy
