[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Casting mis-steps

[Child of Midian]

I think worse than any casting was the failure to create a layout of the
castle and grounds before the first film was ever made and insist that all
directors stick to it. The placement of the Whomping Willow in COS was
ignorant considering POA the book was out and CC had read it, it made no
sense to have it right next to the castle which is why it was moved for POA,
OTOH moving Hagrids hut for POA made no sense, nor did making it different
from the original set. The forth book was out by the time the first film was
finished, they should have had a complete and thorough topography laid out
and maintained consistency.

 

I personally have thought all the actors have taken their roles to heart and
made them work, if not immediately, then as the series progressed. I think
Umbrige was  brilliant and Black was truly brought to life, though Hagrid is
by far, IMO the best character jump from book to screen, in fact, I find
film Hagrid more entertaining than the book one.
