[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Your favorite actor/actress in HP movies

[Mrs. Lex Luthor]

Ironically enough when I picture Remus Lupin I actually picture Ralph Fiennes aka He who must not be named.

There was a bunch of us that wanted Ralph as Remus Lupin (Though I like David) It will always be Ralph in my mind. Just like I always picture Kate Winslet as Tonks. 

Love,
Red

Not really. I think it was more the stupid mustache and the Muggle
clothes. I hated the electric train, too. Or maybe it's a magical
train that looks like a 1940s electric train (after all, the WW does
have the Hogwarts Express), but it just doesn't suit the character.
Give the guy Grindylows in a tank, please! Anyway, I pictured him as
pleasant-looking but not handsome, with greying brown hair and a face
that was somehow simultaneously young-looking and prematurely lined.
None of that came through for me with David Thewlis.

zanooda:
I have a whole personal problem with movie!Lupin. I saw this actor for
the first time in a movie called "Dragonheart" (or similar, I'm
not
sure :-)), and he played a really disgusting character there!

with this character (which is really strange, actually), and I have
nothing but very bad feelings towards him. He even seems very 
unpleasant-looking to me, although all my family assures me that I'm
just crazy and he looks fine. <snip>

Carol again:
I'm sure he looks fine to anyone who's never read the books and formed
a different mental picture of him. But regarding the mental picture of
him in "Dragonheart," try watching him in "Black Beauty,"
admittedly a
kids' film, but who are we to talk about that? <grin> He plays a very
gentle man who's good with horses, in contrast to some of the brutal
owners of Black Beauty and the mare whose name I forget. If you're
disturbed by cruelty to animals, you might not like the film, but it's
quite watchable otherwise, and it's fun to see the humans from a
horse's point ov view.

Carol, who likes David Thewlis better because of that film but still
doesn't think he looks like Lupin
