[HPFGU-Movie] Re:How Satisfied Are You With The Cast?

[Valerie Flowe]

I was watching OotP yet again(!) and I truly love the characterization 
of Jason Isaacs as Lucius Malfoy. In other movies and in real life he 
has short cropped brown hair. He puts on that blond wig and he 
'becomes' Malfoy! I love, love, love the way he talks in this movie. 
The inflection of his voice is awesome. Rivals Alan Rickmans! I'd love 
to see more onscreen time of them both! Gambon has grown on me, and 
that fight scene between him and Voldemort was spectacular. (I love the 
part where, with a flick of his arm he sends Harry back to safety). 
Bellatrix/Helena Bonham Carter was fantastic. Maniacal just as I 
expected. Would've loved to have seen more of her. I hear she's also 
terrific in Sweeney Todd. Rickman's in that too!
I still think that Hermione/Emma's acting is off-cue and over-done. 
She's just not nearly as 'real'/smooth to me as Ron and Harry.
Love Mrs. Weasley; the great concern she shows for Harry...so maternal!
