Valerie:
I'm kind of bummed to hear that they're casting characters that really 
aren't relevant to the story (such as Blaise Zambini, Cormac McLaggen, 
Pansy Parkinson) instead of the Gaunts. (Marvolo, Merope, etc.) I think 
that would make for such an interesting scene. I could envision their 
hovel so well in my mind; snake on the door, Merope cowering in a 
corner; Tom Riddle's dad coming down the lane in his fine carriage with 
his lady-friend. The ring is such an important piece in the last 2 
books. How can they gloss over that or delete it altogether? Obviously 
they ARE putting in some of Voldemort's background as there are 2 kids 
cast to play young Tom. I wish they could've brought back the Chamber 
of Secrets Tom Riddle to play older teen Tom. Maybe he wasn't available 
or just looks too old now?
