And they  have a new character named Nigel.  Apparently JK is okay with the 
Nigel  character; maybe they use him to move some of the story along.  It'll be 
 interesting, that's for sure.

I can't wait for the movie.  It's my  favorite book.


So who's Nigel and where does he fit in, I wonder?  Neville  must be the one 
to give Harry gillyweed, because there are photos showing Matt  Lewis standing 
by Dan, both of them in costume for the second task (well, Dan  is, anyway, 
and Matt's in Hogwart's robes) standing by the edge of the  lake.  Odd thing 
is, Fleur appears to be in a little boat, while Harry's on  the shore.  But 
these photos are taken from across the lake and show crew  people, etc.
 
I LOVED the clip showing Harry swimming!  Amazing!  I  thought he'd be 
swimming with his hands and feet like a frog, not doing the  "dolphin" swimming 
thing.  That's a very hard way to swim (I tried it once,  failed spectacularly!).  
He must be one of the most physically fit teens in  the UK to be able to do 
those stunts.  That clip struck me so, I barely  noticed the dragon in the last 
clip, and the image of him swimming (the Second  Task is my fav., and GoF is 
my fav. book) stuck in my mind so strongly, I had a  lot of trouble getting to 
sleep that night!!

Veritaserum has the best high-quality, large picture video that  I've seen.  
DanRadcliffe.com has screen caps.  I haven't minded  Harry's hair being long 
in the movie shots we've seen, but the one they used for  the commercial, 
yikes, he looks awful!  But then again, Emma's hair usually  looks bad for these 
interview things too -- somebody should tell her that her  hair looks painted 
on, the way she parts it from low on the side then "waves" it  across her 
forehead.  Ah well, teens and their hair.  Rupert can't see  out of his.  I guess 
they're all normal!  I suspect the producers had  them grow their hair out 
(well, Rupert's was just like that and they told him to  leave it, or so I read 
somewhere -- maybe here??) so they'd look good in the  water -- but then again, 
the twins hair has grown out, and they're not in the  Second Task, so maybe 
that theory's "all wet," LOL!  I can't WAIT for the  movie!!  OR the book!  YAY!
