This is very noticeable.  Has anyone ever paid attention to the 
number of kids sitting at each House table?  And remember the 
description in the book of about 200 Slytherins at a Quidditch 
match.  There are definitely more than 70 kids per House.  Right?

Becki joins the movie talks!

Hello everyone.  
I will jump right in since I was very impressed by this part of the 
film.  I actually liked the film explaination better than the book 
on this one.  To me, it made more sense for Harry to see Peter on 
the map.  And I thought Lupin in the "shack" was too cryptic.  It 
seemed to take him forever to get to his point.  He kept saying 
(paraphrasing), "there were two of you", (speaking of Ron and 
Peter/Scabbers).  The trio had no idea what he was talking about.  
I was a bit disapointed that they didn't do the full scene with 
Snape getting insulted by the map.  That had to be my favorite part 
in the book.  Oh well. At least part of it got in.

Becki: who only got to see the movie twice and  can't wait for the 
DVD!

Subject: Harry's wand
Message-ID: <155.3e18e265.2e6a77dc@aol.com>

In the first two movies, Harry had a rather plain looking wand, and  
according to canon, it was 11 inches, holly, phoenix feather core (as we all  know).  
The point here is the 11 inches, and the fact that the initial wand  was quite 
plain, just a turned handle and a smooth shaft (I guess you'd call  it).  I 
noticed in PoA the wands were much more ornate (very pretty, where  the ones in 
the first two films were plain and "workmanlike" not fancy), with  vines 
carved down the length of the wands, and fancier handles.  I just  followed a link 
that was on Leaky (here's the URL to the wand I'm talking  about:  
_http://www.noblecollection.com/catalog/product.cfm?id=NN7005&catid=21_ 
(http://www.noblecollection.com/catalog/product.cfm?id=NN7005&catid=21)  )  and not only are 
the wands more ornate (they have copies of Hermione's and Ron's  wands for sale 
too), but they say this wand is 14 inches long -- that's the  length of 
Voldemort's wand (according to canon -- I've been re-reading  Sorceror's Stone 
lately).  I just found that interesting in all kinds of  ways, for some reason.  
I'm tossing it out here in case anyone wants to  speculate on why (in Harry's 
world) his wand might have "grown" with him.   I think the filmmakers just 
wanted the wands to be bigger because the kids are  bigger, most likely.  I 
wondered if anyone had any other interesting ideas  on the subject.

Sassy here - I got the feeling with the last film that time/seasons 
were not really passing, despite the whomping willow shots. Like when 
Buckbeak is to be executed that is following there exams, which in 
the film it did not - it was closer to Easter when Hermione walks out 
of class, but then in the film Harry hears the prediction from 
Trelawney. But if it was a regular class day, where the heck were all 
the other students on the school grounds? 

It would make more sense around exam time there would be less 
students out and about. One thing I truly liked about the first 2 
films was feeling the school year actually progressing - but through 
the kids more than anything.

Also, with Harry just flying off on his Firebolt, where was the 
ending? How many of you sat in the theatre expecting a little bit 
more to the end...although the credits were awesome. 

I think Cuaron should have been with the first film but as a 
cinematographer. He would have captured a beautiful look that would 
have stayed with all the films and not have glaring inconsistencies 
that even a child commented on.

I think you make a couple really good points. Cuaron as

Also, I absolutely cringe when I see that ending. Everone around me 
was like, "What the heck?" when it ended. Not the feeling you want

I also agree with you that the credits were great!

I third the opinion on the ending.  I had the feeling Cuaron thought,
"oops, this movie is running too long, how can I end it quickly"

To Darby: Obviously Cuaron did not take into account the other 2 
films were 10 minutes longer and nobody complained about that length -
 I am sure a lot of us would have sat there longer if need be. I know 
after seeing them with a couple children, these kids did not even 
twitch during the any of the films, and we all know the books are 
leading down a more adult subject matter.

The credits were styled after the Maruader's map, there was no extra 
scene like in CoS. But it was interesting to see all the places on 
the map and the footprints (including canine and fowl) paths. But 
then the Marauder's map was beautifully delivered in the film.

The credits are so cool!  Somebody already explained that they are modeled
after the Marauder's Map, and there are human, dog, and bird footprints (I
think they're supposed to be owls, since they're near the owlery, and there's a
cat chasing one of them).  I wanted to add that there are many other
recognizeable things going on in the footprints - two people slow dancing, kids
jumping over the words as if they were fences, and somebody tapping their foot
to the Knight Bus theme, to name a few.  They also have dog prints turning into
human prints, which was cute even if it was a mistake (during the film,
Wormtail shows up as human prints - or maybe he was wearing little rat shoes?
;-P).  You'll just have to watch them when the DVD comes out and you can let
your kids wander off.  My daughter loves the credits as much as I do, but my
son was chomping at the bit to get going, so I can relate.
 
Darby again:

Yeah, someone should have told him that there's no such thing as "too long"
when it comes to Harry Potter.  I understand why they left out the whole
Firebolt/Hermione subplot, but I would have been happier if they hadn't even
bothered to show us the Firebolt until GoF.  At least it shows that Sirius
intends to keep in touch, but I think his last scene in the courtyard showed
this well enough.

I, personally, think that somebody (JKR maybe) told them that the 
Firebolt had to be delivered in this film... because it certainly did 
feel like it was just tacked on.

tekay now:

Hmm...I suspect the filmmakers made the wands bigger to make them more visible to the audience. 11 inches really isn't very long -- the length of a piece of printer paper. I realize that 14 inches isn't much bigger, but it may be enough for visual impact, especially on a movie screen.

I don't think we're supposed to read anything into it, but I could be wrong.

Interesting observation, though!

This one still bugs me.  I know that there was a good
deal of discussion that the "distinguishing features"
of a werewolf that Snape told them to learn refered to
the characteristics of the _human_ form of the
werewolf, but I don't buy that, based on book-canon. 
In OOTP, in Snape's memory in the pensieve, Wormtail
is fretting about the distinguishing characteristics
of the werewolf
P. 643 (American hard-cound edition) "I got the snout
shape, the pupils of the eyes, and the tufted
tail,"... One might argue that the human phase would
have a change to the pupils (though that would make
detecting them incredibly easy), but somehow, I don't
see either snout or tail as something the
non-transformed werewolf would have, and if I saw
something that looked like the creature in the movie,
I would not be worrying about needing to see the
pupils of its eyes to know that it wasn't a normal
wolf!

I just loved Lupin's answer to Sirius, BTW -
paraphrasing: He's sitting in my chair, he's wearing
my clothes, his name is Remus Lupin ...

****************

And no one has picked up on the homophobia of the person who objected 
to Curaon's comment? When he said that Lupin was everyone's favorite 
gay uncle...when the poster said s/he objected to "letting the real 
world in", equating drugs and sloppiness and disrespect with being 
gay?

Being gay does not mean the kids were engaging in constant sex, 
anymore than the assumption of heterosexuality of all the characters 
means that the kids are engaging in heterosexual sex.

Hello,

I was one of the people who commented on letting the real world in. 
And, yes, that quote from Cuaron was what started the conversation. 
(That along with the much discussed uniform, etc.) The gay part 
didn't bother me, I didn't care for the 'smack' comment. (Which is 
certainly my right.) Not sure why I feel the need to defend my 
opinion here, but, my best friend is gay and never would I think the 
things that were written below. I thought Lupin was cool. An uncle 
who does drugs isn't cool. That was and is my opinion. :-)

I think Cuaron was being symbolic here. I took it to mean he was equating 
Lupin's 'condition' with like someone who is dependent on drugs.   I don't  
think he meant it as a literal drug addict, but rather as someone who has a 
physical need for a substance - in Lupin's case, it's the wolfsbane potion to 
counteract the transformation. He comes across as a sickly person, ie., a drug 
addict.
Anyway, that's how I read it - just using our terminology to make a 
connection to a character.
But that's just me ;-)

Diana L. chimes in:

The director's quote was also commenting about Lupin's attitude 
towards things.  In addition to the symbolism Cindy cited, the "does 
smack" comment suggests a person who does not do things by the 
rules - a someone who does dangerous things without thinking about 
the consequences - a someone who is outside of everyday normality.  
This character trait directly relates to Lupin's running around 
Hogsmead as a werewolf when he was a student at Hogwarts.  As for 
the "gay uncle" comment, I do think the director was directly 
relating Lupin's werewolf condition and his subsequent ostracism by 
mainstream society because of that condition to the plight of gay 
people and how they are treated by society in general.  Drug addicts 
are also self-destructive, which Lupin certainly seems to be during 
his time as a wolf.  He's always covered in scratches after each 
ordeal in the movie.  
As a sidenote, I also found David Thewlis's portrayal of Lupin to be 
a tad ambiguous on the "gay" front and I would imagine that Curaon 
would have picked up on that actor's take on the character while 
directing him.

I just got the new Noble Collection catalog today, and they now have a Harry
Potter section! Included are all kinds of nifty, high-quality merchandise
such as wands, wizard coins, the chess set from SS/PS, the Mirror of Erised,
and the Time-Turner! It's all rather pricey (particularly the chess set) but
still cheaper than some of their other movie-related sets such as Lord of

I bought a timeturner from Japan on E-bay and paid too much.  Oh well, it is
lovely!  I also have the coins, which I also bought on E-bay from England, and
were about the same price.  I really must stay away from E-bay.  Hermione's
wand is awesome!  I do wonder why its box is lined in green though :-)  And
Ron's is lined in blue.  It will take a tremendous amount of willpower (which I
clearly don't have) not to buy Hermione's wand!

Pity the timeturners don't work!

As a long-time member, I'd like to respectfully ask that we not get 
into labeling and name-calling other posters.  There's always bound 
to be a variety of opinions on all the HPfGU lists, and that's what 
makes the discussions interesting.  If people begin to be fearful 
that they will be personally attacked for expressing an opinion it 
tends to have a rather chilling effect on the conversation and 
well... it just kind of sucks the fun out of things, IMO.

That's an interesting view. Didn't think of it that way. I thought Cuaron was 
just implying that Lupin looked a bit effeminate (though I don't really see

Well, I would say that would be no he is not, as he lives with his 
partner the lovely Anna Friel. They were both in Timeline except he 
was a bad guy and she was Lady Claire. She also can be seen with him 
at the London POA premiere. She is quite pretty. As for Cuaron's 
comments I took it to mean "the uncle who is a little odd and has a 
secret no one really wants to speak about."(the don't ask don't tell 
motto) I think Cuaron just words things a tad differently sometimes. 
I mean he told Daniel to think of a scantily clad Cameron Diaz to get 
a desired expression on his face.

Hello all,
   While perusing my favorite website www.fark.com, I came across a link that said a two-legged dog that could walk on its hind legs had been contacted for a possible role in the upcoming Harry Potter film, "The Goblet of Fire."  The story was from the BBCt, so one would have to give them the benefit of the doubt.   The link is  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3641338.stm and the story is called "Potter Film Hope for Disabled Dog."  The reason I'm writing is to ask what role this dog could possibly fill?  You can read the article for the details, but I'm scanning my brain right now and can't think of anywhere the dog would fit.  
 
Thanks for your input,
Siriusly Stumped Samantha

    That is very much how I took the comment.  Also I saw the 'gay' 
word also used symbolicily for someone that is treated as an 
outsider because of something in their life, something that they had 
no choice about.  Being an outsider often makes a person more 
perceptive, compassionate, wise, and a little bit sad, all of which 
describes Lupin.

The article does say this:
"Faith's owners in Oklahoma City in the US believe the part could involve her
appearing as the result of a spell."

That's just the owners' speculation, but I suppose a spell gone awry could fit
in many places, probably Transfiguration class.  I can also see lots of
possibilities for animal rights activists getting upset if they don't realize
that the dog was born like this (or even if they do realize it), which would be
a shame because the owners must be really dedicated to try to give this dog a
decent quality of life.  I do hope it doesn't come off as exploitative.

I read on Leaky that they've cast two girls to be Padma and Parvati  Patil, 
but they aren't twin sisters or even sisters!  So why aren't they  using the 
twins who were in PoA?  They were beautiful girls and could  easily be 
considered "the prettiest girls in school" as it says in canon.   I thought Cuaron 
giving them so much screen time was leading up to them being  Harry's and Ron's 
dates for the Yule Ball.  Anyone know anything about  this?

I have wondered the same thing since seeing the information on Leaky. 
I thought the young lady who played Parvati in POA was quite pretty 
and she did actually speak in the boggart scene (of course it was 
only to say the spell but she spoke). I thought it was neat they were 
using actual twins as with James and Oliver playing Fred and George. 
Maybe these girls were not available for GoF or there was some other 
conflict with the studio. It is a shame though as they really would 
look like the prettiest girls in their year. Of course Emma is 
gorgeous too so already filmwise that would seem to be an odd comment 
for the boys to make but I guess because she is a brainy girl who is 
not giggley like Parvati the boys pay her no mind. I am glad that the 
film makers kept the Yule Ball though. Cannot wait to see who they 
pick to be the Weird Sisters.

Oh, why start being consistant now? ;-) Shame, though. I thought 
that's why they were prominant too.

I never took them to be identical at all. Not sure why, though. It's 
true that they do seem to always want to be the center of attention. 
At least, that's the way I took it.

Well, Hermione does mention that they are identical.
In GOF, here's the quote:
**********************************************************
"Brothers and sisters usually go in the same Houses, don't they?"   he said.  
 He was judging by the Weasleys, all seven of whom had been put into 
Gryffindor.

"Oh no, not necessarily," said Hermione.   "Parvati Patil's twin's in 
Ravenclaw, and they're identical. You'd think they'd be together, wouldn't you?"

I thought those girls looked a bit young/small too. Just my opinion.  
Has anyone seen pictures of the girls that were cast?  Perhaps they 
actually look alike.  There are enough celebrities out there who are 
not related but look enough alike to pull off siblings/relatives. 
(Justin Timberlake/Ryan Phillipe, Angelina Jolie/Charlize Theron, Ed 
Harris/Viggo Mortenson, Christian Slater/Jack Nicholson - they can't 
play twins though LOL) Right??

With those two, it's just that sometimes, their looks are the same 
(in movies only though) but Jolie has definitely got the stronger 
looks.  My mom thinks they do.  LOL  I can't remember what we were 
watching when she said that.

Yes!  Keith and Russell, too.  Especially when they were younger.  
How about Lily Tomlin and Ellen Travolta??

Okay.  A few more names have come to me:

Paul "Pee Wee" Reubens/Alan Cummings
Ben Chaplin/Joaquin "Leaf" Phoenix
Leelee Sobieski/Helen Hunt
Maureen "Marsha Brady" McCormick/young Cybill Shephard
and how could I forget

Johnny Depp/Skeet Ulrich

Sometimes Jewel looks like Renee Zellwiger

Marci (who will probably think of more)

Of all those you mentioned, I really think Leelee Sobieski/Helen Hunt

Message-ID: <cinngc+agjh@eGroups.com>

Just wanted to extend the invite to the group - if you are in the 
neighbourhood stop by!!!

Sassy Snape, sent the following message to the members of CanUsa 
Potterphiles.

When: 
Saturday, September 25, 2004 at 7:00 PM

Where:
Holiday Inn Select - The Other Place restaurant PUB
1855 Huron Church Road 
Windsor, ON N9C 2L6 
519-250-3663


----------------------------------------------------------------
Simple directions for out-of-towners.
Take the bridge into Canada, after customs, (you should not 
have to declare your wands as a weapon :)) follow the road 
south (away from the bridge) - the exit from Customs merges 
into Huron Church Road. You will have to go past the shopping 
plazas, Holiday Inn will be on your right. You will have to 
turn onto Malden to get into the parking lot. I believe it is 
at the third or fourth light. 

For those who may be taking the 401 into Windsor - continue on 
the 401, it will merge into Huron Church, when the road curves. 
You will have to go under another expressway (EC Row) and about 
three lights until you reach Malden Rd. Also, watch out for the 
trucks - you will have to get into the left-hand lane.

The meeting will not be cancelled, so I hope everyone can 
attend. 

*********What would you like to experience at the first Windsor 
meetup??******** 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are interested in coming to Windsor earlier let me know and I 
am sure some of us could meet earlier. 

Also, if Prisoner of Azkaban is still playing in Windsor, is 
anybody interested in going to the showing? It is usually a 
noonish-1pm showing.  

Sassy

We don't get BBC 2 here "across the pond" -- at least not  on our cable

Didn't know that Brendon Gleeson had been given the Moody part. He's 
very good but to my mind there is only one actor who should have been 
given the part which is Nigel Davenport. For goodness sake he could 
have done it with hardly any makeup!

Not sisters. Clones! 

Loved a story a read the other day about a young Ian McShane (now 
starring in Deadwood). When a young man he played in a film as 
Richard Burton's gay lover. Apparently Burton said that he didn't 
mind kissing him as he looked like Elizabeth Taylor.

of the trio, Rupert Grint is far and away the best actor. Yes he can 
be a bit hammy, a bit too much gurning for my taste, but he does have 
genuine comic timing. I think that he will be the one to have a 
lasting career out of this.

There are no pictures that I know of, but she didn't look any 
different.

I just finished reading this and thought you all might find it interesting:

It is a first task excerpt from the GOF script. A few things flew (no pun
intended) out at me.
Let me know what you think!

Thought you might like to know that Cinefex, a technical journal for the
movie special effects industry, has a feature on PoA in its current issue,
number 99, dated October 2004. It's a fascinating article if you're
interested in knowing how those effects were achieved. Cinefex can be found
in the larger bookstores and newsstands and can also be ordered via their
website; www.cinefex.com

Some highlights;
The model of Hogwarts is 25 feet (8 metres) high

The full-sized Buckbeak was created using 30,000 feathers

'Blown-up' Aunt Marge was not a CG image; the actress Pam Ferris wore a
pneumatic fat suit which could be inflated wholly or partially as required
(remember the inflating finger?) and was hoisted around the set using
cranes to achieve the right effect.

Nick Dudman, the creature and makeup effects designer, took out an ad in
the same issue of Cinefex, thanking his team, as well as Pam Ferris,
Warwick Davis and David Thewlis. Sounds like he put them through hell!

Cheers,
Nicholas

Now, I only saw the movie twice so please don't ridicule me. Why wasWarwick
Davis especially thanked ?  We hardly saw him at all. As a matter of fact, I
didn't even recognize him. I thought they had replaced him. Please, I would
like to know what I missed so when the DVD comes out I know what to look
for. I tried the link, but I couldn't get the article.
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Leeann

I know Warwick Davis was Flitwick and the head teller in Gringott's  in SS, 
but what did he play in PoA?  Was he the little Hitler-looking guy  who led the 
choir?  Has there been any explanation at all of why they  changed his 
appearance so much?  Thanks in advance for any light you can  shed on this question, 
which has been plaguing me ever since I saw PoA the first  time.  I LOVED 
Flitwick the way he was in the first two movies, a perfect  "tiny little wizard" 
as he's described in canon.  This little  Hitler-looking guy was just creepy.  
I hope I can find that magazine!   Sounds really intersting.
