I didn't get a chance to see the pictures and now WB
has asked TLC, at least, to pull them. My curiosity is
eating away at me, though... Any chance anyone out
there saved one or more of them?

Thanks in advance, Isil

When found, make a note of. I haven't seen any either *disappointed 
whine* though I hope Mike Newell will let Sirius pick up a razor 
somewhere and appear clean-shaven in the fire.

I think Gary Oldman said somewhere that he would make a "brief
appearance" in GoF. So maybe there won't any promotional pictures,
after all he doesn't get much screen time in the book either. *Not
that I would object to a nice picture of a cleaned up Sirius. * ;-)

Hey, maybe we have something in common. <g> I think he looks much
better clean-shaven, though he seems to fancy beards.

Sorry about my extended absence from the list. Nothing much seems to have 
been happening lately anyway. ;-)

There was lots of discussion some time ago about the PoA DVDs and the 
difference between the fullscreen and widescreen versions, including some 
talk about my web site on which I did comparisons between the previous two 
movies.

After a long period offline, my web site is now up again so I've changed it 
a little, and added the nucleus of a PoA comparison. However, as no 
fullscreen DVD has been released here in the UK (and I have no intention of 
wasting money on importing a copy) I have had to limit my comments to 
suppositions about what the fullscreen version might look like. If anyone 
here owns a copy of the fullscreen DVD and is in a position to take screen 
captures, please get in touch.

In the meantime, take a look at http://plum.cream.org/HP/poa.htm (there are 
currently 39 pictures on the page so it may take a while to load).

Even if nobody can help out with screen captures, comments on what I wrote 
are welcome, as always. :-)

Not Richard, but I think some people had theorized that the other boy
was Theodore Nott.  I don't think he was, though, unless they're
disregarding what JKR has said about Theodore Nott; I have a feeling
he's just an extra random Slytherin.

I had a rather silly theory that Random Black Kid was, in fact, a
Legilimens Voldemort sent to Hogwarts to spy on Harry's year, and had
the rather bizarre image of McGonagall asking her House, "You mean you
haven't any idea what the boy's name is at *all?*  He gets top marks
in Transfiguration!", and Hermione muttering "Because he steals all of
my answers."

Again, I think this is a weird inexplicable filmmaker decision, but if
they *had* to give infodump lines to the wrong character, it ought to
have been Hermione, I think.  JKR has said that she uses Hermione or
Dumbledore for infodump, whereas the movies tend to give Hermione all
of the sensitive friendship lines, give Ron comic relief, and leave
plotty information to other people.

Hi GulPlum AKA Richard,

I'm a complete film/technical ignoramus and I visited your site
and 
found it a fascinating eye-opener into the difference between wide 
and full-screen shots. Thanks for taking the time to put together 
such an interesting and enlightening piece of info. I never realised 
how much of the top and bottom screen you lose just to get the wide-
screen version. I agree that widescreen is probably superior to full-
screen as it does show more screen area, but does it have to be at 
such expense to the top and bottom? 

I've always found widescreen to be somewhat bizarrely
proportioned, 
I mean who decided that we all want to go to the cinema and watch a 
film as though we were peering at it through a letterbox anyway? Why 
can't `full-screen' be just that - the wide-screen width,
plus the 
extra top and bottom of the full-screen? I mean if all four extreme 
edges have been captured on film, and all four are being used for 
either full or wide-screen, why doesn't someone invent a screen
that 
shows them all at the same time? It's not that strange a concept
is 
it? I'm probably being very na?ve here, it's only that I
just spent 
half an hour drooling over the prospect of seeing a bit more of 
those wonderful sets and props, and I almost feel cheated now to see 
what I've been missing! 

My attention was particularly drawn to the close-up of the picture 
of the Evening Prophet from COS at http://plum.cream.org/HP/cos.htm. 
My husband recently bought me what was supposed to be a photocopy of 
that original prop, but when we compared it to the one in the film, 
we could see it was clearly a fake. The full-screen shot on your 
site is the absolute proof of this. I can now see that what appears 
to be a rounded column of text at the foot of the page is actually 
heart-shaped, a detail that the forger was not smart enough to spot 
as he obviously based his forgery on the restricted view of the wide-
screen version and just interpreted the rest himself. Needless to 
say, my husband will be leaving some very colourful feedback under 
his Ebay profile, and demanding a refund under the trade 
descriptions act.

Anyway, if nothing else, it's given me the inspiration to create 
some replicas of my own. Not to sell on Ebay or anything, just 
because I love making my own Harry Potter things as I'm a
designer 
and it's a hobby of mine. Only thing is, your link to the 
enlargement of the newspaper image is broken and there's only so 
much I can make out from the smaller one. Do you still have the 
enlarged image, or do you know where I can find it? Or 
alternatively, do you have any good stills of other Daily Prophet 
shots that I could use to base my creations on?

Many thanks,

Valerie: 
The black kid IS now Dean Thomas. Dean, whom Harry "sicced the snake on" in 
COS, has gone from being a tall white kid with dark hair, to a short black kid 
in POA. Why? Who knows?!?! But look/listen closely at the "Boggart-in-
classroom" scene where the kid says something and Lupin responds something 
like "That's right, Mr. Thomas". Guess they couldn't get the original Dean 
back, so they changed actors.

I don't know why the director thought adding a new character to Draco's 
"posse" was necessary. The Crabbe and Goyle actors were still there, and, if 
anything, it might've been more interesting to give some more lines to Pansy 
Parkinson rather than having her in the background on so many Slytherin 
scenes. Balance out all that male energy!!

Last night my girls and I had a blast playing back some POA scenes in slo-mo. 
We were laughing hysterically. I love the expression change on Draco's face 
when he struts up to Buckbeak, then looks terrified when B rears up at him. 
Priceless! :-)

Now me: Actually, no. Dean Thomas is the little guy who walks 
through the ghost when he enters Gryffindor Tower with Harry (and 
also responds to Lupin's question about the boggart). The tall white 
guy with black hair in COS is the guy who gets petrified by the 
Basilisk (Justin, I think his name is). So... I still don't have an 
answer as to who the other black boy is and I do agree that it's 
strange that they gave him so many good lines in POA!

NO NO NO NO NO!  The original Dean is still there, a handsome  light black 
kid with a short afro, rather a dignified looking boy (with the most  beautiful 
posture - he's a good-looking boy).  Dean's the one who  responds to Remus's 
question in the boggart scene, not that heavy dark black  kid.  That other kid 
is a newbie and I want him OUTTA there!!  The kid  Harry "sicced the snake on" 
in CoS was Justin Fitch-Fletchley (I can't spell his  name, drat!), a 
Hufflepuff, not Dean.  Justin's white, Dean's black.   Dean's also in the PoA scene 
in the dorm when the boys are eating candy and  making animal noises -- his 
back is to the camera and he has a comic book (looks  like) in his lap.  He's 
also the one who walks through the ghost on their  way into Gryffindor Tower for 
the first time in PoA (while Harry and Seamus are  both saying the same lines 
about the Fat Lady:  "And she can't even sing!"  etc.). Dean is also at the 
same little table in Divination with Seamus, as I  recall, while that new black 
boy is at a table at the top/back level of the  classroom.  Dean's in all 
those group scenes, but they give the lines to  that creepy new kid.  WHY????  
Who's he related to that they decided  to toss him into the mix?  Does anyone 
know?  This is really bugging  me (could you tell??  LOL!)

So the mystery remains -- who the heck is that black  kid????

I was about to respond when I noticed Lynda did such a superb job. 
My theory on the Slytherin and Gryffindor spies - friends of the 
director Cuaron...or perhaps Crabbe and Goyle were mad at each other 
and they had to split them up for filming, or some other outside 
obligation kept the dastardly duo apart. I also agree the 2 newbies 
are rejects and will hopefully not return for 4. 

And about the little Adolf Flitwick music conductor - hopefully they 
will change his appearance back...I preferred the previous Flitwick-
look. According to IMDB the musical wizard is Flitwick...this actor 
does get around though...Warwick Davis links Star Wars to HP.

Okay, now Lynda's got me fired up too.  I looked on IMDb and found a few
possibilities.  Of course there are no photos of any of these people.  The good
news is that GoF is not listed in the filmography for any of them, so as far as
IMDb knows, they're not in it.  Dean Thomas (Alfred Enoch) will be back for
GoF, as will Crabbe and Goyle.

Bronson Webb plays "Slytherin Boy" - presumably the Malfoy trio's #4.
Ekow Quartey plays "Boy 1"
Rick Sahota plays "Boy 2"

I did a Google search on Quartey and Sahota looking for photos and couldn't
find any reference to them other than on HP cast lists.  Veritaserum has
addresses for all of these actors (
http://www.veritaserum.com/movies/actors/contact.shtml ); maybe somebody should
write to them and get a glossy back so we can figure out who's who?

One interesting thing that I had already heard but my research reminded me of,
is that the baby in the painting near the Fat Lady is Cuaron's daughter.

Also, I thought I should point out that Crabbe, Goyle, and Mystery Slytherin
Boy are all in some of the same scenes, at least in the beginning of the CoMC
class where they try to scare Harry.  I suppose Sassy could still be right
about the "outside obligations", though, and they used all 3 cronies in as many
scenes as they could to clarify that the new kid isn't replacing Goyle.

I forgot to add another reason why there were new Slytherin / 
Gryffindor students (as if we wouldn't know who their classmates 
were, TPTB really need to give us more credit than than do) - it is a 
negotiation tactic on the part of Warner Brothers. 

The theory would be, TPTB stating in a not so subtle way that, the 
secondary cast can be replaced. By giving air time/dialogue to no 
name characters, they are informing Dean, Crabbe, Goyle, Seamus, etc 
that the actors lines can be given to those-who-didn't-exist in the 
books, and not to attempt to get more money for what TPTB consider 
secondary characters. 

The no names could have also been placed in the film to make other 
changes seem less obtrusive - WRONG! Just more than things to add to 
the list on Unacceptable changes - they had no choice but to replace 
Richard Harris...but why alter Flitwick or add no names. 

The changes in the landscaping should have been addressed (a spell 
conjured by Dumbledore to protect the students from Sirius perhaps, 
explained when he approaches Hagrid's hut with the MoM), the uniforms 
(why wasn't Molly complaining about having to buy 4 new sets of robes 
in the background at the Leaky Cauldron?, yet in GoF Ron gets nasty 
formal wear?)...just a couple other changes that could be explained 
with one line. Lazy, lazy, lazy....

Warwick Davis was also Flitwich in SS as well as the head  goblin in

  Now me: Actually, no. Dean Thomas is the little guy who walks 
  through the ghost when he enters Gryffindor Tower with Harry (and 
  also responds to Lupin's question about the boggart). The tall white 
  guy with black hair in COS is the guy who gets petrified by the 
  Basilisk (Justin, I think his name is). So... I still don't have an 
  answer as to who the other black boy is and I do agree that it's 
  strange that they gave him so many good lines in POA!

As far as Warwick Davis goes, I always assumed that since they had 
cut out any Charms class scenes that they just left him as part of 
the cast doing something else. He is not listed in the credits as 
Flitwick - just Wizard. So that was my theory on him. I also heard 
Mrs. Cuaron is the pretty woman holding the baby (her own) next to 
the Fat Lady portrait. Hey all the directors seem to add their 
family members in as extras (look at just about any Kevin Costner 
movie and you will see at least one of his kids). That I don't have 
a problem with but I agree about the new Gryffindor boy - what 
purpose did he serve? He didn't seem to be that great an actor 
either. As for the Slytherin boy, I figured Josh Herndon (probably 
goofed his name there) had a conflict and since I figure Theodore 
Nott is somewhat like Dean and Seamus only in the Slytherin House - 
not a primary character but somewhat in the background and still 
sort of hangs out with Malfoy. I really didn't have too big a 
problem with him but I did think he would of worked better had Goyle 
been there as well. I figure Malfoy sort of lords over his fellow 
year housemates. Anyway, the only one I had major heartburn with is 
the new Gryffindor boy and a little with the Slytherin boy. At least 
some obscure name nor the 2 boys listed along with "slytherin boy" 
on IMDB are not listed in GOF. So maybe there is hope after all.

Yes, and Susan Bones in the first and second films is played by Eleanor
*Columbus*.  She also shows up in some Gryffindor-only classes, presumably just
to get her more screen time.  I kind of like that Cuaron put his family in the
film in a very unobtrusive, unnamed sort of way.  It's just something for us
trivia buffs.

Geoff:
Dean Thomas is played by the same actor in all three films - a guy 
called Alfred Enoch. This is according to the IMDB website.

In the boggart scene, you can see it's the same boy; he is standing 
in the miidle of the room to the right of Lupin as the latter walks 
towards the front of the class. i'm not sure who the "new" young 
black actor plays, I couldn't decide from a few names on the IMDB 
list.

Hey everyone!  I just got through watching the HP DVD set I got for 
Christmas.  It was interesting to watch how the cast members in the 
movie have grown physically and as actors.  I tried to take notice of 
the changes in the way Dumbledore has been portrayed by the two 
actors who have played him.  I've also recently finished reading 
Order of the Phoenix, and was happy to see the introduction of some 
new characters.  I thought it would be fun to get everyone's 
opinions, and ideas on which actor or actress they would choose to 
play any of the HP characters on film.  Any and every character from 
book 1 - 5.  I am working on my list, and I have to say, I can't 
think of anyone better than Alan Rickman to play Snape.

Charme:

Should my other post go thru, I'll delete it - my computer froze and 
somehow or another my message magically sent it.  Wonder that...

ANY way, what I was going to say was that I don't know about Alan and 
Snape - wouldn't it be fabulous if a young Vincent Price could have 
played him...

Has anyone seen the Wuthering Heights version with Juliette Binoche as Cathy
and Ralph  Fiennes as Heathcliff?. He has long dark hair in that film, and I
can definitely see him as Sirius. 'Course Heathcliff and Sirius in OotP are
very similar in nature (dark, brooding, self-centered). Am still having a
hard time picturing how they are going to turn "Ralph o-so-Fienne" into
hideous, evil Voldemort!!?!
I was wondering just today who I could envision as Remus. Though I love how
David Thewlis portrayed him in POA, he is physically soooo far from how I
pictured Remus. (I envisioned short, pale, long shaggy blondish hair). I'm
curious as to who you think would be a good Remus?

Hey! Everyone has been giving great ideas of their preffered actors.  
I also think Ralph Fiennes would make a great Sirius, or how about 
Rupert Everett.  Also, when I was reading OoP and Mrs. Narcissa 
Malfoy was described, I could clearly picture Nicole Kidman playing 
her.  She has some strong features could make her look the part 
(though she has an Aussie accent, not English)

I'm thinking of someone who can do "snooty, rich lady" well, like Kristin  
Scott Thomas. She looks aristocratic; they could put a long blond wig on her. 
Do we ever actually see Narcissa? Is she in the box at the World Cup? I just 
remember Harry making that awesome comeback to Draco about the expression on 
his Mom's face, as though she had stepped in something, being attributed to 
the fact that she was looking at Draco (or something to that effect). Go

Yep, I'm re-reading GoF now (to my kids this time) and Narcissa is in the QWC
box.  She's described as looking like she has something smelly under her nose. 
My kids thought that was hilarious, along with Harry's jab at Draco!

Unfortunately, I'm a total idiot when it comes to actors (much less who's
British and who's not), so I have no casting suggestions.

Well, for some reason when I picture Remus in my mind
I always see Michael Vartan, from "Alias".
Unfortunately he never could have been cast, not being
British.

That said, I really came to love David Thewlis.

Great suggestion Valerie!  I also love Michael Vartan, and think he 
would make a great Lupin.  Since this is for fun, its o.k to suggest 
British, American, French, or whatever type of actor.  

With that said...I recently say Four Weddings and a Funeral on t.v, 
here in the US.  Someone had mentioned Kristin Scott Thomas as Mrs. 
Malfoy (if she had a blonde wig).  I think she could play Bellatrix, 
she may be too pretty, but since Bellatrix is a cousin of Sirius, and 
Sirius was described as being handsome, she may fit the role.  I had 
also heard rumors of Liz Hurley playing Bellatrix.  That WOULD be 
perfect casting, but I think it is just a rumor.  Based on 
appearance, I would choose a dark haired beauty like Jennifer Connely 
(A Beautiful Mind) or Courtney Cox.

Also in Four Weddings and Funeral, was Hugh Grant....now, wouldn't he 
make the perrrfect Lockhart!  He has that "too sexy for my shrit" 
attitude of Lockhart's, not to mention the "million dollar smile" and 
a sort of girlish pride in his appearance.  

Another rumor I had heard was that Kate Winslet was playing Fleur 
Delacour.  She may a bit too old for that role, but she would be a 
good cast as Lily Potter (maybe in a flashback scene).  With her red 
hair, she would have made nice Weasley character, (if they only had 
an older sister)

Anyways, I'm working on a simple list of my top pics for the 
characters, whether a current, younger, or older version of the 
character (without the detailed explanation)

Oh..one more...how about Leonardo Dicaprio as an older Draco....?

I know I started it, but never completed the list.  Here are some of 
my suggestions:

Sirius: Michael Wincott
Lupin: Hugh Grant
Barty, Jr. Ewan McGregor (That would have been a kickass cameo!)
Rita: Tracy Ullmann or be daring and put Downtown Julie Brown (LOL)
Trelawney:  I had Emma Thompson!
Lockhart: I had Kenneth Branagh!
Umbridge: Imelda Stauton (sp?)
New Dumbledore: Peter O'Toole
Mundungus: Ian Holm
Mrs. Figg: Phyllida Law
Narcissa: Kristin Scott Thomas
Bellatrix: Miranda Richardson
Snape:  Was meant for Alan Rickman.  I'm convinced he is based on the 
Sheriff of Nottingham from Prince of Thieves.

    After seeing Johnny Depp in his Oscar nominated role as Barrie in "Finding Neverland", I would REALLY like to see him as Lupin.  Or, and this is off-the-wall casting but I think it could work, Richard Roxburgh.

How about Sean Bean for Lupin (with his long blond hair, as he wore it in
American Treasure)?

False. It'll be a french actress. I would like, however, to see 
Winslet as Tonks when OOP is released.

Give Orlando Bloom back his Legolas hairstyle and you have the

Her name is Clmence Posy.  Unfortunately there is no photo of her on IMDb.

There are pictures of her on Leaky now, via a link to the new  toy lines 
related to GoF.  They have a pic of Harry and Ron together on a  CD, another of 
Ron, one each of Krum, Fleur and Cedric, but no separate one of  Harry for some 
reason.  They're part of the display for the toys, I  believe.

Agreed. I said from the beginning Johnny Depp would have made a 
faboo Sirius Black. (Not that it wasn't well done.)

Yah! I can see "Legolas" as Draco. They both have those little elven faces!

If you've seen "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (great flic!), I can
definitely see Kate W. as Tonks. I was surprised to see how well she plays
"funky", as I've always pictured her doing the lovely period pieces
(Titanic; Sense & Sensibility; Neverland)

Hi , 

Its ages since I posted but I'd like to say that on re-reading OOTP I 
can't picture anyone else in the role of Dolores except Imelda 
Staunton. She'd be perfect!

Other new characters for casting:

Tonks... Keira Knightly; she may also do a very good bad girl , like 
Bellatrix, too.

Kirsten ScottThomas does have that superior look that fits the role 
of Narcissa, however as its only a small role perhaps the casting 
directors will not even bother casting.
I'm AMAZED that Ludo Bagman's been cut out of GOF!!! that was a given 
for Stephen Fry !

You and I must share the same brain!!!!!!!

Why on earth did they cut out Ludo?  It'll take away from the, you 
know, who put Harry's name in the goblet mystery for the non-
readers... oh, who am I kidding?  The story will have to be redone in 
later years by BBC tv in some 20 3-hour episodes kickass miniseries.  
LOL

  Hey all, I'm new to HPFGU-Movie. My husband and I are sort of
disapointed in Michael Gambon as Dumbledore. It's hard to beat Richard
Harris, but we think Patrick Stewart would have made a better
Dumbledore. Is it true that Molly Weasley was cut from GoF?
