[HPFGU-Movie] GoF Movie

[artsylynda at aol.com]

I would have LOVED to have a 4 hour (with intermission) GoF movie,  or two 
movies, BUT. . .the problem is, they're dealing with growing kids.   I read an 
interview recently where David Heyman said Dan changed so much during  this 
film that the first scenes they filmed, which took place in the middle of  the 
film, have him round-faced and young looking, and then his face suddenly  became 
more angular, so the beginning of the film, you have "old" Dan, then  "young" 
Dan, then "old" Dan, then "young" Dan, etc.  Filming the scenes "in  order" 
would make so much more sense when working with growing kids, but it just  
isn't logistically possible.  Filming two films at once, as they're doing  for 
"Pirates of the Caribbean" would be nice, but you'd have the same problem,  the 
kids aging erratically.  It just can't be done with kids.  I read  somewhere 
that they had to change the size of some sets/props because the kids  grew 
between shots on that set or with that prop (whichever -- I can't remember  at the 
moment).  Dan's overdue for a growth spurt -- he's only 5'5" tall  right now, 
and he's 16 and hasn't really had a big growth spurt yet that I know  of.  OoP 
could be interestingly difficult to film if he suddenly  shoots up as Matt 
Lewis did, fortunately BETWEEN films, apparently.  With  Harry in nearly every 
scene, a growth spurt of Dan's could cause a lot of  problems!  But I hope he 
gets one soon anyway!  :-D
 
I have my tickets already for two showing of GoF and am going to  check into 
the IMAX schedule -- can't wait to see this movie!!
