I'm so glad to find out this is a fairly popular suggestion!  
Something clicked into place during the Oscars last night, and I 
thought, Wow, Imelda Staunton would be great as Umbridge.  And, you 
know, she sort of fits with the group of actors that is already in 
the cast (She's worked with Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Emma 
Thompson, Zoe Wanamaker, Gemma Jones, and Dan Radcliff to name a 
few).  

I would bet on a relatively unknown actress to fill the role of 
Tonks.  Probably someone who has done some television.  

I stand by my casting of Anna Chancellor as Bellatrix, until proven 
wrong by Warner Brothers.

I also want to say that I am not surprised PoA did not take the Oscar 
for Visual Effects. Buckbeak was great, the dementors superb, but 
didja see that werewolf?  And only nominated in two categories.  I 
hope it incentivizes WB to make better movies out of this material.  
I did think it might have a chance at Best Score, and since I have 
not heard the music for Finding Neverland I can't really comment on 
whether HP was robbed or not in that category.  I did think the PoA  
score was particularly good, though.

I'm not familiar with Imelda Staunton's acting...but does she do "evil"
well? In all the Oscar shots of her she's smiling so prettily. Umbridge
should be Voldemort's bride, she's so hateful! >;-)

I wonder if they'll bother casting Tonks at all. She's somewhat the female
version of Ron, aka, comic relief. But doesn't add that much to the story
line (at least not yet...don't know what is to come in the last 2 books??) I
mean, if Ludo Bagman is being deleted, it makes me wonder...

I recently worked on a transcription of a British show from last year 
called "The Worst Week of My Life".  I can't recall her name, though 
I thinks it's Emma(?) Pierson, or Emily.  Anyway, she played "Sophie" 
on the show.  Hello, Tonks!  At least, that's what I thougth while I 
was typing.  LOL  IMDB does not have a pic of her though.

You bring up a good point.  I think if Harry IS a metamorphmagi, 
they'll have her in OOP.  If not, then no.  Maybe not, since they 
didn't show or mention the story of Harry's 'hair replacement'.  But 
as of right now, we don't know how important she is to the story.

I read on Leaky (an interview with David Heyman that was on Sci-fi  wire) 
that Dobby and Winky aren't in GoF.  I wondered how they were going  to get the 
gillyweed to Harry if there was no Dobby, but then I remembered the  pics of 
the filming that showed Dan standing by the edge of the lake with  Matthew Lewis 
(Neville) very close to him (there were a lot of other people in  the pics, 
too -- they're wide shots that show a lot of crew and background  stuff).  So I 
suppose Neville's going to come through for Harry with the  gillyweed info.  
I hate for them to lose the scene with Harry at the Yule  Ball wearing the 
socks Dobby gave him for Christmas -- and that's how Moody  knows to give Dobby 
the gillyweed clue, because of those socks.  I wanted  to see Harry in his 
dress robes with mismatched socks with snitches and brooms  on them, LOL!  Ah well.

Valerie: Hmmm, a metamorphmagi?! I never thought of that. 'Course JKR never
really did explain why Harry's hair grew back overnight after Petunia
probably did a hideous chop job on his head. I figured it was just a little
"good triumphing over evil" or "can't keep Harry down" jab?
If anything I think the Occlumency or Legalimens abilities will factor
strongly in Harry's near future. He definitely has powers yet to be
discovered...

ACK! Say it ain't so!

Ah, well....as long as they retain Ron and Hermione's post Yule 
Ball/pre-lover's spat, I'll be happy.

And whoever it was who suggested Jeremy Irons as Voldemert for 
alternative casting: you rock :)

I know! I just saw Jeremy Irons on the red carpet pre-show of the Academy

"Red Dragon" with Ralph Fiennes. Still can't see him as Voldemort, even if
he was a vicious, psycho-killer in that film!!

I would've rooted for Christopher Eccleston
(http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001172/ ).  I've got both 28 Days Later
and Othello on tape and he *reeks* of a Slytherin in both roles. 
Though, he's now filming Doctor Who.

Heh, I'm amused he was in a movie called I Am Dina. {g}

Heh!  I just watched it on USA channel last night--they showed that

Speaking of which, wasn't Anthony Hopkins' name being tossed around

The reasons I suggested Jeremy Irons as Voldemort, are: other than 
Alan Rickman, Jeremy is one of the few actors who never has to raise 
his voice to convey his true menace. 

I also thought it would be kind of interesting to reunite the 
brothers from Die Hard and Die Hard with a Vengeance, despite the 
fact they were not in the same film. 

He also resembles the actor (Christian Coulson) who played Tom Riddle 
in CoS better. Ralph Fiennes is a fine actor and should be able to 
pull off a wicked Voldemort, but I could just see all the body 
twitches perfectly from JIrons and have visualized him since 
Voldemort appeared before my eyes in the books.

I also think Finola Hughes (General Hospital/All My Children Anna 
Devane) and Aiden Turner (All My Children Aidan Devane) would be nice 
additions. Finola could possibly be Bellatrix and Aiden could be 
super hot guy ...oh wait, sorry...Aiden could be a future DADA 
professor (sign me up!)

He does indeed!

I saw him perform "Hamlet" on Broadway about 10 years ago and let me 
just say, breathtaking doesn't even begin to describe him.  I was 
overwhelmed and fortunate enough to get his autograph after the show--
what a truly beautiful man he is.

And that voice!  His "Scar" in 'Lion King' was just too good!

VERY much looking forward to seeing him in "Kingdom of Heaven"--opens 
in May, IIRC.

I was so taken with Ralph Fienne's beauty in "Wuthering Heights", that  I

Hey everyone!  In all honesty I was not sure who Jeremy Irons was 
when he was first mentioned to play Voldemort in the Create a Cast 
post.  

I saw him on the Oscars, and now realizing that he did the voice 
of "Scar" for Lion King, he looks and sounds perfect for the role.  
Just evil enough.  

To wrap up the Create a Cast Challenge, here is a list of the top 
choices, considering everyone's responses and ideas.

Voldemort - hands down, Jeremy Irons
Sirius - Ralph Fiennes
Lupin - Hugh Grant (though I personaly think he'd do well as Lockhart)
Mad Eye Moody - Anthony Hopkins
Narcissa - Nicole Kidman, Kristin Scott Thomas
Bellatrix - Liz Hurley,Catherine Zeta Jones, 
Draco - Orlando Bloom (Legolas look)
Tonks - Kate Winslet, Keira Knightly

There were a lot of great ideas.  I think we should come up with 
another challenge/game.  Any ideas?

Here is my new idea for a little fun.  Give some of your favorite 
lines from the film, by your favorite characters.  

For example, I love this line Snape gives in PoA:

"Well, well, Lupin.  Out for a little walk in the moonlight, are 
we?"  (This is when Snape busts Harry wandering the halls at night)

Another line I love given by Sirius in PoA:

"Why don't you run along and play with your chemistry set." 
(Speaking to Snape in the shrieking shack)

See what you can come up with, I've recently watched PoA, that is why 
these are fresh in my mind.

My favorite set of lines is the scene where harry is sitting in bed
watching the map and ron wakes up during his nightmare...

Ron: Spiders... the spiders... they want me to tap-dance. And I don't
want to tap-dance!

Harry:  You tell those spiders Ron

My girls and I just love the way Snape says (3 times) "Turn to page
three-hundred and ninety-foooouuuuuuurrrrr". Does he have the best evil
voice, or what?!

We also love (and use frequently in everyday conversation) "Move on, move
on, move on!"  Stan Shunpike, prodding Harry on the knight bus.
Also,
"What you fell over for? Well c'mon then! Let's not wait for the grass to
grow!" What perfect casting for that character!

And the perfect look of evil in Lucius's cold calculating eyes when he says
"Well, let's hope Mr. Potter is always around to save the day".

And how about "Now, now, Draco; play nicely!" I just love any of Lucius's
and Snape's lines.

OK, I could go on for hours with this challenge! I'll sign off for now!

Here's one of my favorite quote from PoA (from memory)
"Really? Move in with you? Do you have a house?"

I also like this one, Stan and Harry:
"what are you doing there?!
"I fell"
"Why?"
"I didn't do it on purpose"

And the best line:
"you're acting like an old married couple" (or something like that)

Best...line... EVER!!!  That's one of my favorites.

I like:

"You're supposed to stroke it." POA
"Training for the ballet, Potter?" COS
"You call this a... house?" COS
"Clearly... fame isn't everything." SS

Hey...I'm glad you all are sinking your teeth into this game.  Its 
all for fun!!  If anyone has ideas for a game or challenge, let us 
know.

I also like the following lines:

Someone already mentioned, "What you fell over for?" PoA
 
How about these:

"You call that a cat? It looks like a pig with hair if you ask me." 
PoA (ron referring to crookshanks)

"Thats rich, coming from that smelly old shoe brush." PoA (hermione 
referring to Scavers)

In the Night Bus, Harry asks "But the muggles, won't they see us" and 
the shrunken head replies in his Jamaican accent:

"No, but if ya stick dem wit a fork, day feel it."

"You foul, loathsome, evil little coachroach!!!"  PoA  

"Why is it alwasy me?" Cos (neville, hanging from the chandelier)

Hermione: "Do you want to move a bit closer?" (I'm not exactly sure 
about this.)

Ron: "Huh?"

Hermione: "To the Shrieking Shack."

Ron: "Uh no.  I'm fine here."  (Or something like that.)

So, is that half a chocolate frog?

I thought of one more, from SS:

Ron (to McGonagall, "That was bloody brilliant."
McGonagall, "Thank you for that assessment, Mr. Weasley.  Perhaps I 
should turn you or Mr. Potter into a pocketwatch?  Then at least one 
of you might manage to be on time.  Or perhaps a map!  I trust you 
don't need one to find your seats."

(something like that, anyway, it was brilliant)

Most of the lines you folks have listed are funny on their own, and  I agree 
with the vast majority of them.  Along with all the very funny  lines y'all 
have mentioned, I like some of the dramatic ones quite well,  especially the way 
Dan delivers them (so I'm a Harry freak, no apologies  here!  :->)  One of my 
fav's has been mentioned, when Ron has the  nightmare about spiders wanting 
him to tapdance, and Harry says, "You tell those  spiders, Ron."  Another -- 
When Stan Shunpike mentions Voldemort, Harry  says, "Yeah, HIM I've heard of."  
I just love Dan's delivery of lots of  lines.  When Aunt Marge says, "You're 
still here?" he snarls "Yes" so  perfectly, and when he's yelling at Vernon 
before he leave (Vernon:  "You  can't do magic outside of school!"  Harry:  
"Yeah?  Just try  me!"
 
And I love the twins banter, the way they complete each other's  sentences, 
such as in the Leaky Cauldron when they're giving Ron a hard time  about 
showing the picture of the family in Egypt and they list all the people  Ron's shown 
it to, or when they capture Harry (my fav. line there, "Bless him"  -- the 
way they deliver it is so cute!) and talk over each other to explain the  map.  

I like the line in the Burrow (CoS) when Arthur asks Harry very seriously,  
"Exactly what is the purpose of a rubber duck?"  (or something like  that).  I 
read somewhere that most of that scene was improvised and Arthur  would change 
the line every scene -- the rubber duck one was the one they stayed  with.  
Can't remember where I read that now, but it's one of those "fun  facts" I get 
a kick out of.

to me in POA.  Dan delivered it well.

I remember that from Chris Rankin's interview on TLC.  Maybe that's

My favorite, favorite line from PoA is when the trio, Sirius, Lupin, and PP are walking back 
through the tunnel after Scabbers turns out to be Peter Pettigrew.  Sirius and Harry are 
helping Ron walk.

Sirius: "Sorry about the bite."
Ron: "You nearly tore my leg off!"
Sirius: "Normally, I have a very sweet disposition as a dog.  James often suggested I make 
the change permanent.  The tail I could live with, but the fleas...they're murder."

The way Gary Oldman delivers that line cracks me up every time! 

Also from SS, when Hagrid hatches the dragon egg.  He says, "Hello, Norbert" and Harry 
looks at Ron and says "Norbert!?"  Just the quick exchange of looks between Harry and Ron 
makes that scene!  

Those are two of my favorites!  Thanks for all the contributions to this thread.  I've had the 
best time reading these and laughing (usually outloud, at work! :) )

It just occurred to me that this line is much like the one 
in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," when the female lead asks 
Indy about the images down in the catacomb-like place under the 
library. 
She: "what is that?"
Indy: "It's the Ark of the Covenant" 
She: "Are you sure?"
Indy: "Pretty sure."

Another one of my favorite movie exchanges. :)

Funny, how nobody is really quoting Hermione, considering all the 
lines she is given that belong to others.

Sassy...maybe the producers need to take notice...
Anybody else getting lovely flashbacks with all the favourite lines

Ugh! Hermione.  LOL  I like, "It's on his suitcase, Ronald," and "Use 
your inner eye to see the future!"

OH!  And Emma Thompson did some great ones as well.

I had mentioned a couple of my favorite lines in an earlier post, 
which was delivered by Hermione.

"You foul, loathsome, evil, little cockroach" PoA
(telling off Draco)

"Thats rich, coming from that smelly old shoe brush"  PoA
(referring to Ron's rat)

I LOVE this line!!  It's my favourite!!

I like Ron's "Can we panic now?" from CoS and also the bit about 
Ron's dream about the spiders wanting him to tap dance from PoA, 
though I can't remember the exact quote.

>From the PS, I like:

"I'm going to bed before you think up another way to get us killed 
or worse expelled" Hermione

"She needs to sort out her priorities" Ron

"You're a little scary sometimes, you know that? Brilliant, but 
scary" Ron (something like this)

And yes, most of these are from Ron but he's my favourite character 
in the movies (though Ron's not my favourite character in the 
books).  I love how Rupert plays him.

Same here.  Until the first film came out, Ron's character never 
really grabbed my attention, but when I saw how Rupert portrays 
him...brilliant, indeed!

One of my favorite moments in the PoA movie is the boggart scene  when Ron 
first sees his spider boggart and "squeaks" in response to it!  I  just love 
Rupert.  I love Ron in the books as well, but Rupert IS Ron just  as Dan IS 
Harry, to my mind!  When Harry snarls "Yes" at Aunt Marge, or  talks back to Vernon 
when he's about to run away, he's just perfect.  Emma  does a good job, but 
the screenwriter has made me dislike Hermione by giving her  too many of Ron's 
and Harry's lines, and making her "superHerimone" rather than  the sidekick 
she is in the books.  That annoys me a LOT!   

Another favorite line (I've been watching the DVD again lately) is when  
Harry says, "But sir, it's Quidditch tomorrow" and Snape replies, "Then I  suggest 
you be very careful.  Loss of limb is not an excuse" (or something  like that 
-- I'm tired and can't recall his line precisely, but the way he  sneers 
"loss of LIMB" -- OOoooo, I just LOVE Alan Rickman!)

I happened to be watching the Sense and Sensibility
DVD last night with Emma Thompson's commentary and I
had to laugh when she was talking about Alan Rickman's
character in the film. She said something about when
she was writing the screenplay she had to make Col.
Brandon mysterious, but also likeable (or something
like that) and then she said and I am paraphrasing
here, 'But of course it was Alan Rickman and he would
be mysterious playing a milkman'
<g> How  true though. I love every one of Snape's
lines in the films because of how Rickman delivers
them. His voice is a  treasure ;-) 
I remember one critic saying about POA: 'No one but
Alan Rickman could make, 'turn to page 394' sound like
a death sentence' or something like that ;-)
(or whatever page it was, my memory isn't too good
right now).

Whenever there's a thread running on one of my Phantom/Opera groups 
regarding alternate casting for either a voice-over animated or a 
live version miniseries, Rickman always gets plenty of nominations 
for the leading role as Erik/The Phantom.  Noone does sinister, 
broody, mysterious, dark and sexy like he does.

now Cyndi--I totally agree with you.  I like Hermione so much in the 
books, but I have a lot of trouble watching her in the movies for 
exactly the reasons you stated.  Ron is my favorite in the books and 
the movies, and it seems that many of his lines are suddenly coming 
out of Hermione's mouth!

again Cyndi--I love him as well.  My favorite line of his is in SS 
when the trio have just come from McGonagall telling them that DD has 
left for London.  Snape stops them in the hallway and says something 
like: "What are you three Griffyndors doing inside on a day such as 
this.  Be careful; someone will think you're *up to something.*"
The way his says those last three words and scowls at Harry is just 
fantastic!!

Figured I'd start a new game:

What are some of your favorite movie scenes?

I love those little moments of awareness between Ron and Hermione, 
i.e,. CoS: How Ron is visibly shaken when Hermione is petrified, and 
the 'handshake' that follows at the end: PoA--when she instinctively 
turns to him during Buckbeak's supposed execution--

Harry taking a ride on Buckbeak was especially well-done, imho, and 
the Quidditch matches are always a joy to watch.

And any scene that has Snape in it.....

Draco had on his desk. Does anyone know? It looked like some sort of lizard
or baby alligator?? Maybe a basilisk lizard?? I saw one of those at the pet

Ron has Scabbers, Neville, the toad, Hermione, some sort of iguana, not sure

Maybe it has to do with Ron being Rupert's favorite character.  Ron 
is my favorite character from the books.  But I agree with what you 
both said.  He portrays Ron well.  It's like he's becoming Ron.  
Considering he didn't right that essay for Cuaron and since he didn't 
bother to cut his hair, the producers made him keep it that way 
because they thought it was something Ron would do.  LOL

You know I always thought it was just a chameleon but it is a rather 
weird looking one if it is. But it looks like a little like one.

But you know, you just reminded me of something I said the first 
time I saw it at the theater...Ron transfigures Scabbers aka 
Wormtail, who is actually an animagi. I would think that is a tad 
bit odd. I mean couldn't casting a spell on Scabbers/Wormtail cause 
him to reveal himself? I just always thought that was weird. I used 
to play DnD in college and I would think a person would have some 
sort of way to resist being turned into a water goblet. At least 
more so than a real rat or a lizard. Anyway, it is just something 
that sort of bothered me the first time I saw CoS.

I think it's interesting how the director(s) are embellishing on JKR's
story. Off the top of my head, I don't recall JKR addressing the kids'
"coming-of-age" clothing and hair, as it started to evolve in POA, and now,
GOF. It makes this fantasy story all the more real, to me.

Or maybe this is why his spells are never completely successful on Scabbers. :)

is that why Rupert's hair is so long?  I thought the GoF  director must have 
wanted them to have longer hair just to show they're all  older (the twins and 
Dan all have longer hair, as well).  I like it on  Rupert - I like Dan's when 
the sides are swept back as in that lovely picture  from the film where he's 
in his sweater and leaning to his left (our right),  with his bag strap on his 
shoulder.  I don't like it as well when it's just  "fluffy" over his ears, 
but Rupert's hair looks good.  The twins have  terminally straight hair like me 
and theirs looked best, IMO, in the first movie  where the very straightness 
of it added to their impishness (I just love the  twins -- they're so well 
cast, just like the trio!)

Except that the book PoA was already out before they started filming CoS.  It
was published in 1999, and CoS didn't start filming until sometime in 2001,
just before the first film was released.  My guess is that the filmmakers just
didn't pay attention, as usual.

is that why Rupert's hair is so long?  I thought the GoF  director must have
wanted them to have longer hair just to show they're all  older (the twins
and Dan all have longer hair, as well).  I like it on  Rupert - I like Dan's
when the sides are swept back as in that lovely picture  from the film where
he's in his sweater and leaning to his left (our right),  with his bag strap
on his shoulder.  I don't like it as well when it's just  "fluffy" over his
ears, but Rupert's hair looks good.  The twins have  terminally straight
hair like me and theirs looked best, IMO, in the first movie  where the very
straightness of it added to their impishness (I just love the  twins --
they're so well cast, just like the trio!)

Oooh! I know...that pic of Dan is waaay hot! If I were 15 again...! I did
like his hair spikey like in POA, though. To me, that's the most Harry.
My 7 year old twin girls love watching the twins on HP. They themselves
don't speak in tandem like that, but they do seem to know what each other is
talking about when no one else does! :-)

While watching POA for the 30th time, I just noticed that the fellow 
in the Leaky Cauldron that is shown reading a book and stirring a 
cup of something is reading Steven Hawking's A Brief History of 
Time. I don't know why this is so interesting to me. I could see if 
he was laughing or something.
What are the groups thoughts on this, or am I over analyzing?

Hee, I love that guy.  He's some singer, I think, who wanted a cameo,
but my friends and I decided that he was, in fact, an Unspeakable In
Training, seeing as the Department of Mysteries researches space and
time and things like that.  I think he was more meant to be an
intersection of the real world and JKR's world - sort of like when
hunchback!Tom pulls the car keys out of his pocket and turns off the
car alarm - but, well, I still call him the Unspeakable.  (And my
favorite part about that whole scene is that he's *stirring the coffee
without touching the spoon.*)

Yeah, that picture IS hot, and I'm old enough to be his  granny!  Yikes!  
(And happily married 34 years, but not too old to  enjoy nice "scenery"!!  
heehee).  Yes, I liked his hair in PoA a lot  -- not in the courtyard scene when Ron 
and Hermione are off to Hogsmeade, but  most of the rest of the time, it 
looked great!
 
The twins talking in tandem is such a riot.  I always wished I  was a twin.  
I had friends who were twins who swapped classes to fool the  teachers, and 
did talk in tandem at times.  It seemed like such  fun!

You're not over-analyzing -- it was one of the many references to  time that 
Cuaron inserted throughout the film (listen for ticking clocks in the  music 
from time to time, and notice the cuckoo clock at the Dursleys, other  clocks 
various places, and Harry looking out through the clock face as his  friends go 
to Hogsmeade).  And that guy stirring the cup of something in  the Leaky 
Cauldron is some famous Brit rock star (he's not famous to me, so the  name 
escapes me -- you can find out about him by researching a bit on  DanRadcliffe.com, 
where they made mention of what I'm about to tell you) who  wanted to be in 
the movie as a lark.  He got such a kick out of Dan's music  mania (Dan's into 
garage and punk bands -- I think those are the correct terms  for them) that he 
included a pic of himself and Dan on the cover of his next CD,  which must 
have been a huge kick for Dan (this story, the photo involved and the  photo as 
part of the CD cover are all visible on Danradcliffe.com in the  archives 
somewhere).  
 
If you remember when Harry snuck into the Three Broomsticks under  his 
Invisibility Cloak, just before he turned and ran up the stairs to the room  where 
Rosmerta was talking with Fudge and McGonagall, there's a guy sitting  there at 
a table with two of his fingers lit like candles -- at least that's  what it 
looks like.  That's Cuaron himself doing a "Hitchcock" (a cameo in  his own 
film).  And the woman with the baby in the painting next to the  Pink Lady's 
painting is Cuaron's wife and baby, so I read somewhere (probably  The Leaky 
Cauldron, the font of all wisdom Harry Potter-related).
 
Nah, I'm not obsessed with Harry Potter, not me!  heehee

It's been a while...

(I have little or no interest in fantasy casting and there's been precious 
little else to talk about.)

Just one small item of correction, which I think is important.

Ermm.... That's not car keys he pulls out, but a wand. I have no idea where 
you got the notion that it was anything else (Tom driving a Citroen - you 
seem to be implying that it's his car?!).

I am so adamant because I saw that scene being shot. What he pulled out of 
his pocket was definitely long and thin, and in the close-up shot (which 
they filmed, but didn't use) it's quite obvious.

Together with the disappearing table detritus, self-pouring tea-pot, etc, etc.

Really?  ::blink:: Okay, sorry.  I haven't seen the movie for a while,
and I certainly didn't see it being filmed, so I suppose I
automatically assumed it was car keys, and it struck me as rather
amusingly odd.

His name is Ian Brown. http://www.ianbrown.co.uk/

I don't think I am in the minority, but I find it distracting when 
people just want to be in the film just to add it to their credits. 
It is sort of like the Star Wars films, and actors just wanting to 
say they were in the series. I would rather focus on the story and 
doing that well, than a "fluffy atmosphere."

I think Pettigrew applied some sort of protective spell, since he had 
probaby been exposed to spells with Percy, etc and had not been 
revealed, but not being an exceptional wizard (unless influenced by 
Voldemort) could be the reason Ron's spells had a perverse sort of 
effect on Scabbers.

I love those little moments of awareness between Ron and Hermione,
i.e,. CoS: How Ron is visibly shaken when Hermione is petrified, and
the 'handshake' that follows at the end: PoA--when she instinctively
turns to him during Buckbeak's supposed execution--

Harry taking a ride on Buckbeak was especially well-done, imho, and
the Quidditch matches are always a joy to watch.

And any scene that has Snape in it.....

on Ron's face when Hermione asks "Do you want to move a bit closer?"  
(though she was referring to the Shrieking Shack)

My MOST favorite scene out of the 3 films is from PoA when Harry is 
conjuring the Patronus over the lake.  It was the most visually 
appealing and magical, even the background music in the scene was 
well done.   The scene with Harry flying Buckbeak for the first time, 
comes a close second.

Anything with Harry showing his joy of flying - his laughter and  
"WHOOO-HOOOO!" on Beaky was truly joyful.  So were his and Sirius's yells  of delight and 
laughter when they were on Beaky, while Hermione looked sick to  her stomach, 
heehee.  Harry telling Ron, "You tell those spiders, Ron" when  Ron's having 
a nightmare.  Harry saying "Just do it" in the boggart  scene.  Harry kicking 
his dresser when he's furious at having blown up Aunt  Marge, and then his 
rage in Vernon's face.  The way he snarls "Yes" when  Marge is questioning him.  
Poor Ron when Dumbledore is patting his injured  foot -- poor kid!!  WHAT was 
DD thinking???  heehee  Ron's  discomfort when Hermione grabs his hand when 
Harry's meeting Beaky.   Harry's "HEY! HEYHEYHEYHEYHEY!" when Hagrid grabs him 
and sets him on  Beaky.  Way too many to name, really!  And that's just PoA!   
Going back to the first two movies, again, anything showing Harry's love of  
flying.  Dan can portray joy so well -- and has a fantastic grin.  He  also 
portrays fear, and courage overcoming fear, extremely well, so I love any  scene 
where he's having to face something horrible and then overcomes it - or  gets 
away from it.  And those are just the tips of my "favorites"  iceburg!!

One of my favourite scenes is something that doesn't even happen in the 
book. It is from POA and it is the one where Harry, Ron, Neville and 
Seamus are fooling around in their room, eating candy that makes them 
sound like animals. The reason I love that scene so much is because it 
shows that, even though they are wizards, they are still teenage boys. 
Teenage boys who like to be with their friends, have fun, eat candy, 
and generally goof around, in other words, they're "normal" boys. I 
thought it brought a touch of realism to the movie. For me, it was a 
very welcome addition and it warmed my heart.

appealing and magical, even the background music in the scene was
well done.

Valerie:
...and such a pivotal and poignant moment for Harry. He wants so much to
believe his Dad is still there to protect him (and Jame's best friend
Sirius). He still doesn't believe in his own power. He grew up with no power
over the evil Dursleys, but really had the capabilities all along. He's just
starting to gain his confidence. Yay, Harry! The look on his face when
Hermione says "No one's coming, Harry"...you're both dying..." then he runs
down to the shore and does his spectactular patronus...!" Great acting Mr.
Radcliffe! :-)))

This is one of my favourite scenes also - eating "animal crackers". I 
also loved the scene when Harry meets his book of monsters 'pet' and 
it takes after him. Nice footwork Daniel!

Yeah, it was, as were so many other parts of the movie.  So  can someone 
explain to me why EMMA was nominated for some very nice awards and  Dan WASN'T???  
SHEESH!  Hermione's busy being a bossy witch most of  the time (and being 
handed everyone else's best lines), and he's going through  the wringer, from joy 
to sorrow to anguish, to fury, all over the place, and  doing as well as many 
adult actors.  He's developing real subtlety and has  the most expressive 
eyes since Elijah Wood as "Frodo" -- you can see the fear in  them, or the joy, 
or the rage.  Truly remarkable, especially for a kid so  young.  Great acting, 
indeed!  So where were his big-time  nominations?  Argh.

Hi folks,

I know the DVD has already been out for five months and everyone's moved on 
to thinking about GoF (and beyond), but I've only just managed to complete 
the job I had set myself for the HP movies, to do comparisons of the 
fullscreen and widescreen releases. I know my previous comparisons for 
PS/SS and CoS were popular, so I expect the same will be true of this one:

http://plum.cream.org/HP/poa.htm

While I'm at it, and this is even older material, I recently came across an 
interview with Paul Kieve (magic consultant on PoA) in the December issue 
of the Birmingham (UK) "What's On" magazine. The reason for the interview 
was the opening of Dahl's play "The Witches", for which he did various 
special effects  (people changing into mice, etc). The reason I bring this 
up is because they also touched on PoA and as far as I'm aware, there's 
never been any clarification of what his role was in the movie, so this 
might be interesting.

This is the relevant extract from the interview:

Q. You worked on the last Harry Potter film - tell us about that.

A. They had never had a real magician work on the films before - that was 
the initiative of the director of the third movie-Alfonso Cuaron.

I was involved with a total of six scenes.

One scene - where all the kids were doing tricks from Zonko's Joke Shop in 
the Great Hall - was cut from the movie but has made it as a deleted scene 
on the DVD.

I make a cameo appearance in the Three Broomsticks pub and I am honoured to 
be the first magician to perform magic live in any of the films! 
Essentially I added mainly background activity to a number of scenes (clue: 
look behind Ian Brown!!). I also designed, constructed and operated the 
last full-screen effect shot in the movie - the Marauder's Map folding 
itself up, and created floating spheres in the astronomy room.

One of the highlights for me of working on the movie was working with the 
production designer Stuart Craig - he is an unbelievable genius and totally 
humble despite having won three Oscars. A fun spin-off from the movie has 
been spending a lot of time teaching Daniel Radcliffe magic which he has 
taken up as a hobby. He has practiced a lot and is particularly good at the 
"Linking Rings" trick which is not easy to do.

During the filming of Azkaban he was keeping people entertained on the set 
with card tricks.

Richard, do you have a link for this article?  I really  enjoyed all of it!  
DanRadcliffe.com would probably like to use this quote,  if it can be obtained 
from the original source and properly attributed.   And thanks for the 
comparisons of the movies -- I haven't had time to look all  the way through it yet, 
but it looks fascinating, as usual!

Thanks!  I bought the fullscreen version and it is HORRIBLE!  I'm hoping
something happens to it so I can get the widescreen version.  I have the
fullscreen  version of SS, and it doesn't bother me.  PoA is a completly
different story!

Well that's interesting.  If I needed clarification on whether my decision 
to buy only the widescreen version this time was correct, you just provided 
it!  Though I must ask, after looking at your comparision, why did WB think 
it was necessary to make a fullscreen verison at all?  I don't quite see the 
point of butchering it.  Anyway, thanks very much for doing the 
comparisions.  Makes it easy to see there are no advantages to the 
fullscreen in POA, though a few could be found (few and far between, I 
admit) in the earlier movies.
