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

[Nightbreed]

Are we sure Merope is in the film? There are only three flash-backs in the
film according to David Yeates. They decided that the movie had to focus on
Harry and kept  the flash-backs down to the minimum. Surprisingly, the
flash-backs where 90% of the trailer yet only maybe 10% of the film.

 

I was hoping it would be more like "Godfather II" with two congruent story.

 

For some reason they don't understand that kids read the freakin books,
because they think kids will lose interest if the movie is like the book?

Didn't Rowling stipulate that all the roles be played by British actors?
That dictate forces us to imagine a Britsh actress to play Merope, 
perhaps beyond the ones who have been in American movies or popular 
British imports. I agree that Kate Winslet is too attractive and rosy 
to play Merope. Actually, a younger version of Fiona Shaw, the woman 
who plays Petunia Dursley, might work. Helena Bonham Cater might have 
mads a good Merope as well. If I could choose an American actress for 
Merope, it might be Angelica Huston. Hey, isn't her mother British? Was 
Angelica born in England?
