Movie news - please post here

[Marigold]

Heres a thread for any movie news/ rumors.

Please post away!!:)

[Bridget Chubb]

I have no movie news.:(

Bridget plops down on the floor to wait for Cedric to come back with all his movie news and pictures and trailers and rumors

He'll be here. He'll come.

[Colli]

Where is he, anyway? Does anyone know how to contact him?

I'll keep my eyes open for news. :) :eek: ;)

[Cedric]

Where's who? I'm really lost.....

You guys just want me to post in here or start up my own thread? I'm fine ether way.

Oh, and news, here some. New pictures

First one (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/images/2002/09/Lockhart1.jpg)
Second one (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/images/2002/09/Lockhart2.jpg)
Third one (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/images/2002/09/McGonagall1.jpg)
fourth one (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/images/2002/09/ColinCreevey1.jpg)

Wow, that kid is scary, but that's a good thing right? :)

-Cedric

[Bridget Chubb]

Wow, he is scary.:eek: Is that the Creevy kid?

Those are the first pics I've seen of Lockhart - awesome!:D

[Cedric]

Yeah, it is.

Head over to the cauldron (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/2002_09_01_archive.html) for some more cool pics of the kids and others.

Some people out there have been saying how the other kids look bad a stuff, but I think that when you look at the pics from this movie, they look about ten times as good as they did in the last movie. If you ask me, the next movie is gonna be pretty darn awesome.

-Cedric

[Kristin]

Kenneth Branagh is going to be awesome! :)

[Pennquelle]

Cedric, I have a 10 year old daughter that likes HP. Would the forum at The Cauldron be a good discussion board for her? I don't let her post on the HP threads here because it's too much trouble turning off and on the automatic sign on so she can log on as a different user than me. It doesn't seem to work easily for our computer.

On topic: Kenneth B. is perfect for the part! Looks exactly the way I imagined.

[Cedric]

I'm sorry Pennquelle, but I'm not a member of any forums other then this one, so I'd really have no idea if it was good for her. My best advice would be for you to watch the posts on that site for a week or so and see how things are done there, then you'll be able to judge how good/bad it is.

-Cedric

[Marigold]

Hello Cedric, nice to meet you!

I am Marigold and Potty about Potter. I hope you didn't mind me starting this movie news thread as there wasn't one up.

I have a confession to make...I have been watching ALL of you! And lurking for quite sometime now. And as the site was reborn I have decided to make myself known.

So hello everybody!

Marigold takes a bow


I am actually an official haremite by first calling (see fandom) but i'm quite tame really.;) :D

Good pics! CC looks really sweet!

Cedric you are quite right, the next movie is going to be awesome, the characters will be more developed and it will be quite scary I think!

Marigold shuts up now:)

[Niphredil]

Kristin - I used to be absolutely nuts about Kenneth Branagh!

I'm still periodically nuts about him. And he'll be a terrific Lockhart.

It was rumoured at one point that Branagh would direct Azkaban - but I think it WAS only a rumour. Especially if the Spanish dude has the job (I hope he'll be great!)

I actually got very bored and fidgety in the film of the Philosopher's Stone. It's an ongoing debate with my mate Marigold, who adores it!

- The sets were stunning.
- The veteran actor parts were terrific
- Ron Weasley was good.

But for me, the lead was too wooden and the plot dragged.

A pity, because I LOVE the books!

P.S. Gilderoy Lockhart - is anyone else reminded of Uncle Andrew in "The Magician's Nephew"? I know Branagh likes the Narnia books - he's narrated one of them on tape (I think that very one).

Kristin - hugs! I don't think we've ever spoken (thanks for directing me to the new Hall of Fire, BTW) - but I remember your name from far back.

[Marigold]

Niph, Kristin, is the very Kristin ,of the 'hobbits being chased after by haremites picture' I think! Of which a copy adorns my wall!:D

Kristin, do you do any HP pics btw?

[Cedric]

Oh no, don't worry about it Marigold, I can't be the only who always posts the news threads, that would get boring :) The thing about people who watch us is we never know how many are really out there, so it's okay that you waited a while, I'm sure there's people watching us right now who don't want to register, and that's cool with me.

Here's why I think the next movie is going to be good. In a way I think they're letting the looks of people tell more of a story then their words are, you know what I mean? Because I think that the visual presence of the characters is so much stronger then they were in the first movie, I think that the picture with the mandrakes really show what I'm trying to say.

-Cedric

[Marigold]

I must go find that picture of the mandrakes.

Do you mean that the actors seem more like/into their characters this time?

I think they all very much 'look the part' , Maybe after filming for so many months they feel so much more like their characters and it sort of enigmates(have I spelt that right?) from them.


:)

[Colli]

If you all want, I'll upload the Potter pics I have from old Imladris onto my website and then link it. I don't want to weigh CoE down with attachments already... ;)

I know I don't have all of them (those ones you just posted, Ced, are new to me) but I'm not sure if you all had downloaded them or not.

Just ask. :)

Colin is CREEPY! I don't really like Branagh yet (I'm still hung up on Hugh Grant not getting the role) but I'll hold my judgments until I see him in action. :D

[Monkfish]

Worrying news From IMDB:


Harris's 'Harry Potter' Role in Doubt Over Health Fears

Veteran actor Richard Harris may have to be replaced in the third installment of the Harry Potter films as fears for his health grow. The famously hard-drinking Irishman was admitted to a London hospital last week, reportedly suffering from pneumonia. He completed filming of the second Harry Potter flick, The Chamber Of Secrets, although a double was needed for some scenes when he was feeling ill. The 71-year-old plays Professor Albus Dumbledore in the tales of the schoolboy wizard, but bosses at Warner Brothers will decide next month if he is fit enough to reprise the role in the next movie, The Prisoner Of Azkaban, which starts shooting in January. If Harris is deemed too ill to continue the role - he is signed up to appear in all seven mooted films based on J.K. Rowling's books - the favorite to take over is a virtual unknown. Harry Robinson, 72, is the spitting image of Harris and has appeared as his double in the previous two films. A source on the set says, "The producers are not confident Richard will be well enough and have told Harry there's an 80 per cent chance of him getting the part. He's already been told to start practicing Dumbledore's distinctive deep voice." Last night Robinson said, "I'd love the role but I can't talk about it." A spokesperson for Harris says, "He is still in hospital with a chest infection. It's too early to talk about Harry Potter."

[Katia Elanor]

I don't really have rumors or news, but I was wondering if anyone has any info on casting. I have a friend who really wants Ewan McGregor to be cast as Lupin. Do we have any clues yet as to who it's going to be?

[Colli]

I don't know of any information about Lupin or Sirius yet, sorry.

But (I hope Richard Harris is ok) I didn't particularly like Harris as Dumbledore. :o :p

[Kristin]

It's been a rumor for a while that they're trying to get Ewan for Lupin. (Personally, I'd love it. :D) But I think it's only a rumor. It could happen, but nothing's even close to being confirmed.

[Monkfish]

Ewan would be great as Lupin.:cool:

How about Martin Kemp as Sirius?

[BrionnEquus]

http://www.harrypotterirc.co.uk/

Of course, it won't work for me...:D

[Lanen]

Hi folks!

I realise this is coming out of left field, but - how about Scott Cohen for Sirius? Anybody see him in The 10th Kingdom? Ok, he played an over-the-top wolf character there, so maybe I'm making wolf/dog associations, but - he's just so - so - HOT! :D And I think he could do a fine 'tortured' and would smoulder well and have the intrinsic passion to snarl successfully opposite our fave Snape, Alan Rickman -

Just a thought. Comments, anyone?

[Monkfish]

Has he been in anything else?

I can`t picture him.

[Katia Elanor]

He might be a good choice, but it's unlikely they would try to get him since JKR wants an all British cast.

[Colli]

Britain's billion-dollar boy wizard Harry Potter rides his broomstick back to the United States in a two-minute promotion for upcoming film Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, airing for the first time this week on the WB television network, the WB announced Tuesday.

The network will air a two-minute, 17-second trailer for the film during the premiere of its new show Family Affair on Thursday night at 8 p.m. EDT, marking the first time the full-length clip with scenes from the movie has been shown to audiences.

A WB spokesman said Warner Bros., the film and TV studio behind the Potter movies and a sister company to the WB, has only released brief, 15- to 20-second film clips to theaters to promote the movie. Both companies are owned by AOL Time Warner Inc.

The Chamber of Secrets trailer will repeat during the WB's Friday lineup again this year after its Family Affair debut.

[Bridget Chubb]

I saw the new trailer. Twice.:)

Anyone know who the guy at the end is? Mr. "Hopefully Mr. Potter will always be around to save the day"? My sister and I are guessing Lucius Malfoy...

It looks good! I'm excited.:D

The best part, of course, was hearing Oliver Wood tell Harry that Slytherin has a new seeker...

:swoon:

:D

[Anarie]

Wow, new trailer, is there any place where I can download it?

[Monkfish]

There`s a 2 min trailer on Kazaa.:cool:

[Pilgrim Grey]

Does anyone else think that Lucious looks like Haldir?
btw, the trailer is up on www.harrypotter.com, but its streaming, and for me the audio sucked!

[Anarie]

Downloaded it from kazaa 5 min' ago, it's all blinking and flickering and sometimes sound disapear :( , that's why I hate downloading from kazaa, you never know what exactly you're downloading.

Tried to download from Pilgrim's link, but "The page you are looking for is currently unavailable..."

Anyway between all the flickerings I saw Dobby! And he's so ugly, poor Dooby, what they did to you...

[Monkfish]

The copy I downloaded from Kazaa was about 17mb and had perfect picture quality.

Kazaa is like a box of chocolates..........you never know what ya gonna get.


(Ron: Can I panic now!!!!) :D

[Molk Fx]

Too true, KaZaA showed me things I never thought possible. :eek:

Movie News: It's gonna go OFF! :D

[BrionnEquus]

...the new 30 second clip yet? What is it of? Am I the only one who cannot get it it to work?

Well, after seeing the long trailer, I can say, IMHO, that it doesn't look as good as I would have hoped. Several useless changes, IMHO, have been made that push the story along without ever forwarding the movie as a whole, stalling it. For instance, the car scene, which would have been fine on screen, is now an action sequence that simply wasn't needed, that worked without it, and takes away time from other matters. I can also add the film doesn't look nearly dark enough, which I assume is the fault of the trailer, not the movie itself. And the car looks terribly fake.

Still, I look forward to it. It looks intriguing, to say the least. We'll see how it ends up .:mad: or :notworthy.

;)

[Rivenlas]

Jason Isaacs looks awesome in the second trailer....I'm so excited to see it!!!! And yep, that is dear Lucius, and I think he's going to do a great job. If I hated HP, (which is unthinkable) I'd go see the movie cause he is in it.

[brandy]

I have some more worryful news... I read in a local newspaper that Daniel Radcliffe may not be Harry after the second film! He's had a growth spurt and is now 5'3", and the head cheeses are worried that he's growing up too fast...
:eek:

[Monkfish]

I still think that it is quite possible for Harry to have grown the same way as Daniel.......

[Katia Elanor]

Is Jason Isaacs playing Lucious Malfoy? That's gotta be almost as great as Kenneth Branaugh playing Lockhart. :cool:

[Anarie]

I'm still in "What-this-is-Dobby?!" shock, he's really amazingly ugly!

Look at him, don't you just want to say "E.T. called home!", when you see him? ok, so maybe it's just me...

[Colli]

:) I'm still liking Dobby more than Branagh. :(

Nice trailer though. :D

[Katia Elanor]

You don't like the idea of Kenneth Branaugh playing Lockhart?

[brandy]

Hey, who's knocking Dobby? I oughta trout you...
But I won't. :) I really like the way Dobby is portrayed; it fits my mental picture exactly. he doesn't seem very ETesque to me. But, whatever floats your boat.

[Anarie]

Well, I guess I'll get used to him eventually, but it's not the way I imagined him, not at all...

[Colli]

Katia, that's how I feel about Branagh. :) I didn't like the looks of him, and the trailer confirmed my suspicions. He just isn't how I imagined him. :( But I'll get used to him. I didn't like Alan Rickman at first, but... look at me now. ;) :swoon:

[Katia Elanor]

Good point, Colli. :) Actually, Alan Rickman isn't how I pictured Snape and Branaugh isn't how I pictured Lockhart, either. And, initially, I did think that Rickman was a bad decision to play Snape, too, but that changed when I saw the movie. ;)
But from what I know of Kenneth Branaugh and what I've seen him in, I can just picture him being a very, very good Lockhart. But, who knows, maybe we'll all be surprised. :);)

[Colli]

Did we miss this?

WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE HARRY POTTER BOOK AND CHARACTER?
I have always said that CHAMBER OF SECRETS was my favourite but I have recently reread PRISONER OF AZKABAN and I think that has now taken over the number one spot. I think my favourite character has to be Sirius Black.

HAVE YOU EVER HAD A GIRLFRIEND?
No - but one day!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO BRAZIL? WHAT COUNTRIES OUTSIDE OF BRITAIN HAVE YOU VISITED?
I have never been to Brazil but would like to one day. Other countries I've visited with my family include FRANCE, ITALY , SPAIN, SWEDEN, PANAMA, USA.

DANIEL, IN THE COURSE OF MAKING THE SECOND FILM DID YOU EVER GET TIRED OF FILMING? IT SEEMS THAT YOU WORK A LOT!
I never get tired of filming not when I am working with Chris Columbus who just makes me laugh all the time. Chamber of Secrets has been an fantastic experience.

IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO THE MIRROR OF ERISED WHAT WOULD YOU SEE?
I would like to see myself as happy as I am now and having as much fun as I am now.

I MEAN I DON'T KNOW HOW I WOULD DEAL WITH ALL THE RUMOURS AND TABLOIDS! HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL? AND HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THAT?
I have never read any articles or reviews in any newspapers or magazines about HARRY POTTER - I dont know what they are saying about me which means I have nothing to deal with.

DID YOU GROW UP IN LONDON? WHAT IS LONDON LIKE?
Yes I was born in London and am growing up in this city. London is always busy. It is a place that you can never be bored in as there are always so many things to do.

HOW DOES IT FEEL BEING... WELL BEING HARRY POTTER?
It feels cool!

I REMEMBER HEARING THAT YOU MAY NOT GET THE CHANCE TO PLAY HARRY IN THE UPCOMING MOVIES AND WANTED TO KNOW THE TRUTH.
No-one can predict what is going to happen to these films in the future so I dont even think about that. The most important thing for me is to live in the moment doing the best possible job I can do playing Harry and enjoying myself.

DO YOU WANT TO BE THE ACTOR WHO PLAYS HARRY POTTER IN ALL THE POTENTIAL MOVIES?
That's a difficult question because that is in the future and I dont know how I will feel about playing Harry in the future. I take one film at a time and enjoy that experience.

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN TEN YEARS.
Absolutely no idea. I am interested in so many things - who knows what path I will follow.

WHAT'S BETTER, CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA ICE CREAM?
Actually my absolute favourite dessert is vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce.

ARE YOU GOING TO THE 3RD MOVIE? WELL, I JUST WANTED TO ASK AND TELL YOU THAT NOBODY CAN PLAY HARRY BETTER THAN YOU.
Yes, I am going to play Harry in PRISONER and thank you for your comment.

WHAT HOUSE AT HOGWARTS WOULD YOU BE SORTED INTO
Probably Gryffindor.

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW DOES IT SCARE YOU TO KNOW PEOPLE ARE OBSESSING OVER YOU? I MEAN YOU ARE JUST LIKE A NOMAL PERSON RIGHT?
I am not aware that people are obsessing over me and yes I am a scarily normal person.

Thank you, Colli!:notworthy :notworthy :kiss: I've been wondering about this for months!;)

Why are Ron and Hermione wearing lipstick?:o :confused:

[Colli]

:rolleyes: Ok Brid let's not get too friendly. ;) You are welcome. :)

Did you notice the Mandrake? I hope this isn't going to become another example of bad CGI.

Hermione's wearing lipstick because they didn't want her lips to disappear, but they went overboard. Probably same with Ron.

They always make you wear lipstick when you get professional pictures done. :) :p

[Cedric]

Here's a picture I've never yet seen, it's a dead giveaway who it is, so don't ask :D

Anyway, enjoy it.

No, no, no. :(

Here's a link (http://www.latinoreview.com/moviereviews/2002/hp2cos/hp2cosimages.html?id=13350) to several new pictures, including one of SNAPE! :swoon:

http://www.latinoreview.com/moviereviews/2002/hp2cos/images/hp16.jpg
I didn't know Robespierre made it into this movie! ("Hello, kitty") :rotfl:

Picture of Ginny, poor dear.

New Oliver pic!

http://www.latinoreview.com/moviereviews/2002/hp2cos/images/hp27.jpg
Another one with Fawkes. He should be darker red.

[Fleurdelacour]

Fawkes looks like a stuffed toy of my baby brothers...

If you want to be in the PoA pm me and I'll send you the stuff.

[Katia Elanor]

Where are Dumbledore and Harry in the pic? That can't be Dumbledore's office (I hope not!)...and that can't be McGonogall's office...so what is Fawkes doing there? :confused:

Lucious Malfoy looks *perfect* but Ginny looks a little...weird.

And I like that one of the Quidditch teams (Oliver! :swoon: ) but I wonder what they're all looking at?

[Colli]

No, I think that's Dumbledore's office. Remember that Harry was surprised by the looks of it. And look at these other photos:

http://www.latinoreview.com/moviereviews/2002/hp2cos/images/hp20.jpg
http://www.latinoreview.com/moviereviews/2002/hp2cos/images/hp28.jpg

And I just thought this one was worth posting. ;) :swoon:
http://www.latinoreview.com/moviereviews/2002/hp2cos/images/hp11.jpg

And this one: :swoon:
http://www.latinoreview.com/moviereviews/2002/hp2cos/images/hp4.jpg

The Quidditch picture, I don't know. It looks like Harry's taking off after something... but he got hurt at the first Quidditch match, didn't he? But he looks completely fine... and going for whatever it is everyone's looking at. Maybe that practice where Slytherin dropped on the Gryffindors with Malfoy and the new brooms? But then why are Ron and Hermione there? I need to go read these again.

And it's no wonder Ginny looks so bad in that picture, I'm assuming it's down in the Chamber.

[Cedric]

Yeah, that most likely is Dumbledore's, but who cares what it looks like, it's only a movie.

My best guess on the Quidditch picture is that it's something that they added (like Harry almost falling out of the car on the way to school), so you probably shouldn't bother trying to guess what it is, because you'll probably not get it right :)

-Cedric

[Colli]

Originally posted by Cedric

No speculation? That takes the fun out of everything! :D

I bet a big ugly creature worms its way through the surface of the ground, sprouts wings, grabs Ginny, and takes off into the air.

Harry screams and expresses his undying love for her, and takes off to save her life.

;)

[Monkfish]

The Quidditch picture is just after Malfroy has called Hermoine a "Mudblood" and Ron`s wand backfires and makes him cough up slugs (if you look closely, Slytherin are all grinning, Hermoine looks disgusted, Griffindor look worried and Harry is racing to help).

That`s what I think it is anyway........

[elanorh]

Oh! Mr. Malfoy is *perfect*!! I remember speculating about this way last winter, and being glad that actor was picked. He really does 'evil' well. :)

Lovely pics of our Snape. :swoon: Y'know, I don't swoon at all over him in the books -- just our movie incarnation. *sigh .... :swoon:

I'm getting way more excited .... November 15th! Yay! :)

[Colli]

That would make sense, Monkfish, except I think Ron is actually behind Marcus Flint.

:) I must do my best to reread CoS. :D

[Katia Elanor]

I don't think that's Ron behind Flint. For one thing, he's not that short. Also, I think it's more likely that it's the seventh member of the Slytherin Quidditch team...whoever that may be. Actually, it doesn't follow the book too well in that cause Malfoy was considerably shorter than the rest of his team.

Monkfish, I think you're right. It would explain why Ron isn't in the picture (which I don't think he is)

That's Dumbledore's office? :eek: I expected unusual...but that's just...*sob*...it's wrong! All wrong!

(Is it just me, or does the blonde girl on the Gryffindor Quidditch team look like Tara from Buffy?)

[Colli]

*slaps self on head*

Duh! Colin Creevey!

:rolleyes:

[Monkfish]

Beat me to it Colli!:D

He`s just the right height for a first year and the hairstyle is different from Ron`s.

[Esgaroth]

I'm very particular about what my phoenixes look like ;) And that, to me, looks like a stuffed parrot.

Otherwise, my best friend and I are waiting with much anticipation for November 16 :)

[Monkfish]

Does anybody remember the parrot in Disney`s Aladdin?

[Re-reader]

Originally posted by Monkfish

Yes, Iago! He gets my vote for the "Most Annoying and Irritating Disney Sidekick EVER."

Please don't tell me Fawkes is going to resemble Iago in any way. At least (in the book, anyway) Fawkes doesn't talk.

[gamgee's1mellon]

Oh what loverly piccies!

OME, it's Oliver Wood! :swoon:

Fawkes looks sorta odd.

I always pictured Dumbledore's office to be cozier. Like a big round room when you came in the door with big comfy chairs in front of his desk and his chair behind it. Oh well. That looks more like the inside of a cottage than just one room! Well hey, it is a castle I suppose!

Ginny is great! She's definitely much like I imagined her!

Dude, Lucius is just freaky! That is seriously going to disturb me!

Well I hafta head to KD. See y'all later!

[Cedric]

My thought of his office was to be very large, so the one they're using is probably going to be fine, I bet in the book they say it's big, because I usually try to model my image off what they tell me.

Here's the movie poster, hopes ya like it... But knowing you guys, you probably won't :D

My problem with the poster: Why is Hermione wearing makeup?:rolleyes:

I like Ron, though.:)

I really did like it at first, but is it just me or are the guys' noses unusually..... LARGE?

:nose: :p ;)

(and *I* don't have a problem with every pic ;))

Oh I donno Bridget, maybe because she's a girl? Seems pretty simple to me..... I think they're trying to run down the nerdy Hermione if you ask me, which I don't think is a problem because this is (lets say it together) not the books ;)

I once again want to say that Lucius looks awesome, and has great hair and could be Legolas's older brother/father/something. I love Jason Isaacs and he is perfect as anything evil--has anyone seen the Patriot?

[Colli]

:eek: THAT'S why he's so familiar!

:D That was a really good movie, no matter how much people might complain about it.

Poor Heath... :(


Isaacs was awesome, I now have COMPLETE faith in him. :) :notworthy

[Katia Elanor]

*That's* the movie poster?? I think I'm going to cry.

It's too much like that old poster that had for ANH back in the 70's--the one with Luke baring his muscley chest and holding up his lightsabre like a violent weapon and Leia sitting next to him, baring as much as skin on her legs as possible. It's too much like that. Especially with the central protaganist--it's too much like they're trying to make Harry look all tough and threatening and intimidating with that sword and all it comes off as is...annoying. And I don't care much for either of the others in the poster either.

Hmm, I would have to disagree, Colli. I've seen better pics of Snape. :);)

I thought there was another version, but this was the only one I could find...It's got the leg-baring Leia and lightsaber Luke though.

Woohoo alliteration!:D :rolleyes:

[Katia Elanor]

Colli, :p:p:p :D

Yeah, that's the one, Bridget. Star Wars is *nothing* like that. Both posters seem to be attempting to potray the central protaganist as some kind of macho hero and neither is anything like that. :rolleyes: (which is one of the many reasons why I like both of them so much)

[Cedric]

Popin' in and out. Have fun (http://filmforce.ign.com/harrypotter/articles/374/374503p1.html).

-Cedric

[Colli]

Thanks Ced, I'll have to download it later.

70 minutes of soundtrack? :eek: :D Awesome

[swiftsnowmane]

Hermione is wearing makeup because actors wear makeup in movies. (In that case, I guess Harry and Ron are wearing makeup too. Imagine what Fred and George would say.;) )

[Katia Elanor]

Have any of you seen this trailer?

http://www.empireonline.co.uk/news/news.asp?story=4231

If for nothing else, I am totally going to see this movie for Branaugh/Lockhart.

"So sorry. Dozed off. What did I miss?"

(I also like the clip where he winks at Hermione, who grins really big at him :D)

[Remus]

Wow ! It looks so good !

I really don't get why they bother trying to make the film look like it does in the posters, I mean they're meant to be kids ! Oh well, I guess that's advertising for you :rolleyes:

[Rivenlas]

Yes, wonderful trailer! You're right, Branaugh looks like he is going to do great. I was really excited to see more of Jason Isaacs though when he pulled back Harry's bangs and comments on his legenday scar.

[Cedric]

Yeah Katia, that's pretty much what I linked to :)

-Cedric

[Katia Elanor]

Sorry about that, Cedric. My bad. :)

[Colli]

*pouts*

Look what I just read at IMDb:

Hugh Grant was originally cast as Gilderoy Lockhart but was forced to withdraw at the last moment because of scheduling conflicts

:(

[gamgee's1mellon]

WOW! That would have been... weird. I like the dude who played him. (I know his name but am having thinking problems tonight :D )

Has anyone heard anything about the filming?
SB

[Colli]

SiriusBlack, I think the filming starts in February or so of this year... it's to be released in the summer of 2004.

Rumor has it that Gary Oldman has a part in the next two films, according to one of his respected fansites, but that's not confirmed.

And according to this (http://www.comingsoon.net/cgi-bin/archive/fullnews.cgi?newsid1041527960,87740,) article, neither Gamdon nor McKellen is Dumbledore.

:rolleyes:

That's all I have for now!

[lithorose]

This isn't really movie news, but I found some screencaps from a making of HP and the CoS, and I haven't seen them here. So forgive me if they've already been posted:)
http://www.birgitfreydag.de/hpspecial_rtl/page_01.htm They're very nicely done!

[Mellon]

Oooh, cool! Thanks, lithorose :)

[Colli]

Ok, I checked out Gary Oldman's listing on IMDb, and I think if he was in the movies, he'd do a good job. :D

He played the evil terrorist guy in Air Force One, and that's the only movie of his i've seen. BUT... he looks completely different in every picture of him I've seen.

He has a history of playing evil guys... it seems like he would make a good Sirius. Not as swoony as Viggo, but a good one anyway. :) And he's 45ish, so he can give Alan Rickman a run for his money, agewise. ;)

[Sirius Black]

The Oswald-guy from JFK? Yay! Where's he from??
Huh... Cuarón gets more people from Fallen Angels... has anyone here seen the series? Do they exist on video?

With 45 he's still... quite young! Considering... :p But not bad, not bad...

[Colli]

:D Look what I found! I got in from MuggleNet, who got it from the Leaky Cauldron, who got it from AICN. :D


HARRY POTTER & THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN (2004)
Directed by Alphonso Cuaron. Written by Steve Kloves. Early word coming in here at the Moriarty Labs is that Cuaron is shaking up this franchise, and in a good way. He’s evidently questioning everything that’s come before, determined to retain what’s good and improve everything else. I got in a rumor over the weekend that Ian Brown (of the Stone Roses) has signed on for a small part in the film, and that casting efforts continue on characters like Sirius Black. Oh, and for the record, I don't care who's playing Dumbledore. Harry pranked me last week, and as a result, I've gotten so much e-mail on the matter that I hate the mere word now. I'm sure Warner Bros. will announce a decision soon. In the meantime, please give me some peace.

HARRY POTTER & THE GOBLET OF FIRE (2005)
Directed by Alphonso Cuaron (??) Written by Steve Kloves. Here’s the big question mark in the Potter franchise. All along, Chris Columbus (who’s still onboard as a producer, keep in mind) has said that they will likely tackle this as two sequels in the same year. I’m guessing the final decision will be based on how MATRIX RELOADED and MATRIX REVOLUTIONS do this year. At any rate, this is a challenge for any creative team involved, especially if they’re going to try to remain faithful to the 4,443,528 page book.


:clap: Huzzah! GoF all in one year! Of course, that means we'll have to wait forever to get it *grumble*

[Colli]

:D I just posted more Oldman news in the Actors thread.

And I read that filming is to being February 17th. We'll know the actors soon! :clap:

[Pilgrim Grey]

Since when was GOF a '4,443,528 page book'?

[lithorose]

Ok, I checked out Gary Oldman's listing on IMDb, and I think if he was in the movies, he'd do a good job. The guy who played the bad guy in the Fifth Element? Didn't he also play Dracula? Hm...I'm not too familiar with HP yet but as long as he doesn't end up reminding me of previous characters he's done...

[Colli]

Well he looks different in every picture of him I've seen... so I'm not too worried about that. :D

[Colli]

Looks like we missed this the first time around:

From that British Newsround thingy:

In an interview with CBBC Newsround's Lizo Mzimba, he revealed that the DVD will have about 18 minutes of extra footage.

That includes the completely-shot scene in Bourgin and Burks.

Chris Columbus told Lizo it was a "fun" scene, and that there will even be two versions on the DVD.

:D More Snape, hopefully? (yes, Elfea, I'm hopeless. So I've heard. ;))

As for Bourgin and Burks, I suspect the whole bit with Lucius and Draco. Here's a picture I found a few months ago.

Wohoo!!!

I'm so hoping to get it! :D

If I only have the money..

[glaelia]

what i want to know, is why we haven't had more movie news??? i mean come on!! they're meant o be starting filiming soon... so why do we still not know who's playing who????


*sulk*

[Fleurdelacour]

We might get some News tomorrow!

Newsround will be back, propery, they've been in Africa all week.

Lizo always has the latest news! :notworthy

[glaelia]

YAY!! okay... i haven't watched newsround since i was about 14.... but i'll watch it tomo!! ... just in case... ;)

Woohoo! Thanks Ced! :D The webpages I heard about it on didn't have it there... apparently they were asked to remove it. :)

Rightclick save. Rightclick save. ... ;)

Thanks Ced. The Knight Bus looks pretty good. I might even start getting excited about this movie.

[Elfëa]

WOHOO!!! :D

Yikes.. it never actually entered my mind how awkward a triple-decker bus would look..

http://www.rexfeatures.com/thumbs/403/403734b.jpg

[Elfëa]

Triple-decker... :jawdrop:

that seriosly tells how much I pay attention to description, doens't it :o

the beds look seriosly uncomfortable. And not anything like I imagined it to be... :(


Could someone turn Dan about 10 years older???

[Irys]

:clap: The Knight Bus looks fab!:D

[Terry]

Did someone say Gary Oldman and Harry Potter in the same sentence!? Oooooo!!! If you want a great Gary Oldman movie, see the one where he plays Beethoven, with Isabella Rosellini. Sorry, forgot the title. Maybe it's....Beethoven? He's a fantastic actor. I can't imagine what role he'll play though. If this series gets any more of my favorite actors, I'm gonna scream....Richard Harris, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Kenneth Branaugh, Jason Issacs (!), Robbie Coltraine, John Cleese, jeez, the list just goes on and ON!!! Hey. What about the Hugh Jackman rumour I heard somewhere about 3 months ago? As Lupin? Is that one dead? Oh, I hope not!

[swiftsnowmane]

Unfortunately, Hugh Jackman is not from the UK, and I don't think they would cast him anyway.:( I think they are going for older types to match Rickman's Snape.
I personally don't even know who is cast for Lupin. Has anyone been cast yet? Or is there still the rumour about that one guy?
(Hah, I realize that's not really helpful.:o )

[Terry]

Just visited IMDB. POA not out until 2004? Is that right? And a big bummer, I see no Jason Issacs on the cast list! But Gary Oldman is there....as Sirus Black. Very interesting. Oh well. Guess I'll have to make do with the Chamber DVD. And they cast David Thewlis (sp!) as Lupin. Interesting choice there, too.

[swiftsnowmane]

Oh dang it. Thewlis. *cries*:(

(Sorry, i'm being very prejudiced here, as I have seen him in nothing before. Only a picture. But i'm still sad. Boo.:p )

[Terry]

Ah, well, maybe you have Swift. Have you seen the most recent redention of the "Island of Dr. Moreau"? Unfortunately the one with Marlon Brando. Thewlis was the main character. And he has a long list of movie and TV roles. I really can't see him as Prof. Lupin, but maybe. He's a good actor.

[Bleu Unicorn]

Ooo, piccys! Yay!

You're right, that bus looks precarious! Kinda scary, but still really awesome. The beds don't look comfy, though - and I think in my imagination I dreamed them begger - weren't they doubles? Or did I just imagine that. (I need to go back and reread, me thinks.)

I was actually really curious how they'd pull off the bus, so I'm quite thrilled at these pics. Thanks for sharing!

[Fleurdelacour]

They cant make this movie... :( Its to good to be a film with a shoddy child actor... :rolleyes:

Anyway..

The bus is wrong! ;) DOUBLE DECKER! RED! :D Pah! eegits, aint they neva bin to Lundan?

lol, its weird... I thought it was a dark green double decker... And slighty cosier inside.

With yellow, black, and orange checkered quilts, just like the seats ;)

Maybe not... ;)

Nope, and I quote right from the book:
They belonged, as Harry saw when he raised his head, to a triple-decker, violently purple bus which appeared out of thin air. Gold lettering above the windshield spelled The Knight Bus.
I don't remember them ever mentioning the color of the beds - just that they were brass and by curtained windows. [shrugs] I always imagined them bigger - like doubles...but that's just me. :D

[Colli]

:D I was always under the impression that the beds weren't very comfortable so they look great to me!

But my weird mind imagined the inside a LOT roomier than that, but I guess the way they have it makes more sense. :D

[Seriphus]

:eek: And I thought riding on a doubledecker was scary.
The outside is just how I imagined it, but I thought it would be roomier inside as well; in the way all wizard vehicles seem kinda tardis-like.

London buses have yellow, orange, and black checkered seats ;) Well the nasty 1980s ones doo... The ones which cant make it up the hill it catford without breaking DOWN! :mad:

Bet the knight bus doesn't break down ;)

*

How in Blair's name are they going to do the Dementors with out them looking like the Black Riders? :confused:

[elanorh]

:cool: Oooh, the Knight Bus looks verrry cool. Thanks for bringing them by!!

I'd imagine the Black Rider/Dementor question is part of what's needing to be debated right now .... I guess what *I'd* do, would be to make the Dementors look taller and sleeker (more snakelike), and have their hoods stick out more, like the Grim Reaper. Less layers of fabric, etc. so that there's a different *feel* to their dark evil look?? Just me. I probably should go reread the description of the Dementors from PoA. :rolleyes:

[Colli]

More cloth, less shiny black metal. :D And completely shadowed faces... except for maybe the eyes.

Or we could go the Black Rider idea rejected by Jackson & co... and give them all the faces of Teletubbies. :devil:

Sounds good to me! :)

:rotfl::LOL::rotfl::LOL: Or...we could go that route....or not!

[Seriphus]

I imagine the dementors as being dressed in dark grey, I don't know if I got that from the book or didn't read the description carefully enough. That would make them slightly different from the black riders. They've also got bodies under their cloaks so we could get more shots of hands sticking out and glimpses of their faces.Or we could go the Black Rider idea rejected by Jackson & co... and give them all the faces of Teletubbies. :LOL:

[Terry]

Well, since the fleshy, rotting parts of the Dementers is what scared HP to death at first, I guess we'll see some parts of them instead of armour.

But hey, Teletubbies scare the heck out of me....maybe they WILL be Dementers (those things are just WRONG! And the baby/sun scares me the most!!)

[Seriphus]

:eek: The baby/sun is really freaky.
I'm more disturbed, though, by the fact that PJ used their home as a model for hobbit holes. :p
I have a huge gripe with the Teletubbies. My RL nickname's Po and they stole it preciouss. Evil people, I'll forever be associated with a red blob. :mad:

The only real similarity between the dementors and nazgul is their cloaks, they're quite different types of being. Mind you, if the HP movies continue to imitate LOTR...

[Fleurdelacour]

:rotfl: :LOL: :D


My baby brother adores the teletubbies... He goes around saying "Lala B!" And loves the freaky sun... :eek: Poor boy, corrupted by people dressed in stupid suits and formual racing...

[ChianaWeasley]

So when a boggart tries to scare you, does he take the shape of the teletubbie's sun? Or just the regular teletubby? ;)

And with the dementors you could see the skin, but wraiths were armoured. My guess is their biggest priority is to not make them look like Ring Wraiths. But if they do, we can just throw things at the screen :)

[Elfëa]

Tomatoes. That's it. :D

[glaelia]

with ash on them??


;)

[Elfëa]

No.

With ketchup on them.

[glaelia]

bwahahaha...... tomatoes... and ketchup?? hmmm interesting....



;)

[Elfëa]

Seriously, Dementors need grey cloaks... somehow they aren't dark figures, I've always imagined them with grey... :p

With red ketchup spots.

[ChianaWeasley]

Dementors are definitely not as dark as the Ring Wraiths. I think they can show the contrast between the two with their skin, and with the tomatoe juice.

[Moxie]

sings the theme from "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" while looking for things to throw at the Teletubbies

I'm glad to read that I'm not the only one profoundly disturbed by that baby-sun thingy...

[Elfëa]

teletubbies?

I'm disturbed by the fact (in finnish version) tiivitaavi (English name is what??? purple one?) carries a purse and talks with male voice... :eek:

[Zippy]

Tinkywinky!:D

[glaelia]

tehehe elfea, but have you ever tuned in to teletubbies in bangor? on the welsh channel s4c? or ess-voder-ec.... :rolleyes: anyway, i swear, teletubbies is almost understandable in welsh... somehow the welsh version of eho and all their other ridulous expressions make sense in welsh!!!

[Fleurdelacour]

*imagines welsh teletubbies*

:jawdrop:


Twinkywinky is the weirdest teletubbie, he's confused, a handbag?! And Dipsy and that hat...

Even more worrying, we know their names ;)

[glaelia]

that's nothing... i know the theme tune... in english AND welsh....



but this is getting a tad off topic.... so, movie news anyone??? do we actually have seal-proof confirmations of cast lists yet?? and if not, why not? surely they've started filming?? :confused:

[Fleurdelacour]

They started filming on monday, and no sign of Trelawney... :( :confused: :mad:

I just thought... Buckbeak... They can't cut that surely... If they they keep Buckbeak in, how will they do it!?

[lithorose]

Don't see Fudge's name in there either:(. Of course his part is pretty small, and could fairly easily be replaced. Realistically I think some things do need to be cut for the sake of film length, but I would think Divination class was rather important to the plot, increasing Harry's paranoia of the Grim and his own possible death.

[Fleurdelacour]

Dont see Cho's name either... :( Newsround Extra was on today, but there was some news on their website:

Article and film set pictures (Potter fan snaps Azkaban film set )


Story about Cho Chang rumours dated 10th Feb (http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/tv_film/newsid_2745000/2745349.stm)

HA AND YOU DOUBLE POSTED :TROUT: NAUGHTY!!!

[Fleurdelacour]

Potter fan snaps Azkaban film set


One hopeful Potter fan visiting England decided to take a chance and went to the Leavesden Studios near London, just in case they saw some Potter filming.
Amazingly, Allison and her mum happened upon the filming of the Magnolia Crescent scenes from Prisoner of Azkaban.


Like any true Potter fan, the Australian tourist immediately whipped out her camera and took all the pictures she could.


Allison then sent all the images to the Leaky Cauldron website along with a report on her experiences.

In the book, Magnolia Crescent is where Harry first sees the Grim after running away from the Dursleys. It's also where the Knight Bus appears.

Although Allison talks about security being strict on set, they were obviously friendly too.

A television had been set up for onlookers and a nearby policeman seemed very informed, sharing gossip about the production.

glae- I must be losing my mind...

or perhaps you are? I see no douple post ;) :p

[glaelia]

sneaky cow......



oooh the knight bus! and ernie! wow!


iswear to god i saw the knight bus last week.... you know that bit where harry says 'why don't muggles see it?' and stan snorts, 'don't pay tention to they? don't see nuffink'.... or along those lines.... well i swear!! TO GOD! i saw the knight bus....... i was driving up the a1 back from work and glanced to my right at a road that runs parallel to the a1 there... and there was a big PURPLE double decker bus.... yes it was only double decker, but please, i mean who's ever seen a purple one before! and i did yay!!

tehehe

[Fleurdelacour]

The A1?! My school is right by the Blackheath leg of that... Where on the A1? I'll look out for it ;)

[glaelia]

lol lol lol, i was driving from the m25 roundabout to the stevenage junction, i get to my village from there... i believe the road it was travelling along was an extension of the great north road ;)

[Fleurdelacour]

I just realised... My school is by the a2... not the a1! :trout: :trout:

Late nights and freaky Nicole Kidman Ewan McGregor dreams make brain go fuzzy! :rolleyes: :trout:

[Cedric]

Could someone remind me what Mangolia Cresent is? I mean the name sounds familiar but I can't place it. Help me..... :)

Can't imagine what riding that bus would be like.... Especially on the top..... While it's taking a tight turn :D

Posted by FleurD:

WHERE ARE TRELAWNY FUDGE AND CHO?!?:eek:

Ya know, lists like this are almost never complete this far away from the movies release, they could be holding out the filming of those pieces till near the end. But then again, I've said things like that before, and they turned out for the worst :)

-Cedric

[lithorose]

Magnolia Crescent is the street Harry stopped at when he ran away from the Dursleys, and where the Knight Bus picked him up. I wonder how they keep that thing from falling over?;) (BTW, it looks eerily like I imagined it, but darker) I like the sign above the door!:D

Maybe they're saving Cho for movie 4? But Trelawney seems to play an important if not big part, so I wonder how they'll be able to cut her out? Maybe they want to avoid controversy (with the Occult)?

It seems like they've started filming really early for a movie that won't come out for over a year:confused:

[Terry]

Where's Madame Hooch? How can they play Quidditch without Madame Hooch? Who's going to referee in POA?

Ahh, Glaelia, Thewlis won't be bad in HP. He's a good actor! Give the guy a chance. He's better than some that could have been chosen, eh?:D

[glaelia]

oh... *sob*...... maybe....

[ChianaWeasley]

I still think they should only make the movie if it was chapter for chapter. Who cares if its eight hours long?...
;) :) :D Thats all characters accounted for, no matter how limited their role is. :D :beer:

[Zippy]

Watching 8 hours of Harry Potter sounds like a great day to me!:D

[swiftsnowmane]

I'd honestly rather READ that much (and more) of Harry Potter.:D

*still grumpy about Sirius and Lupin*

I am now more than ever before tempted to draw my own ideas of what they should look like. I am dying for some SWOONY characters!!! (Villians can only hold me off for a while, I need some GOOD guys to swoon for!!! ARRGH!):mad:

*Makes a mad dashback to the DSG Aragorn Haven* :D

[ChianaWeasley]

i'm happy someone agrees with me :), and eight hours of reading Harry Potter must be good for your health!

[Fleurdelacour]

Eight hours of reading yes... :) Do that often :D

Eight hours of watchign.... No.... I hate the films ;), but it's still fun to discuss!

You don't swoon over Sean (Oliver) Swifty?! HE'S SCOTTISH! HE HAS A KILT!

Scots...Kilt.... :swoon:

[glaelia]

yum yum yum... almost fainted first time i watched the film and he stops flint scoring, and he looks at the camera.... and oooh... weak knees.... god he's so young..... but so.... lush!!



....oh dear god! did i actually say that? and what a good name! ;)


dirty glae dirty!

[swiftsnowmane]

LOL! I do indeed swoon for Oliver/Sean (mmmm....Scot flesh! :swoon: )
However, unlike Sirius and Lupin, Oliver Wood was never one of my favorite book characters. I thought he was incredible funny in his absurdly obsessive way, but I didn't swoon for him. I thought of him looking more like an (American) football player or something.:p Not that I don't mind Sean Biggerstaff and his amazing swooniness, but he's not really the Oliver Wood of the book, if ya know what I mean.:)

[glaelia]

no, i agree completely! bookwise, remus has my swoons... but i'm yet to see him on the big screen... so i'll have to make do with sean for now.... ;)


didn't jkr describe wood as being tall and well-built? ie muscly? sean's skinny.....

[ChianaWeasley]

Wow, so my sister isnt the only one who obsesses over Oliver Wood ;) she loves him to the end of the earth. A die hard fan I must say. She has even tracked down his old band Crambo, which is now the tunes throughout car and household. :LOL:

A I must say, any well built/cute guy in a kilt makes a girl :swoon:
I think it might just be a factor of life for us. I would not mind seeing some of the others in the cast wearing a kilt... :angel:
That and the accent thing, it's just something a girl cant resist.

I also agree with swift, I imagined Oliver to be cast differantly, and they downcast his obsession for Quidditch, and that really off sets the character. Making him even more swoony.

And as for a bad boy I wouldn't mind seeing in a kilt...Tom Riddle would really look good wrapped in Tartan ;)

[Elfëa]

Riddle is kilt :swoon:

I think BiggerStaff (:swoon: for the name... it really makes girl think...:o) fits in the role in a way - but they have just downcasted his obsession with Quiddicth. And we just don't get enough of him... :(

[ChianaWeasley]

I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of Sean even after the Harry Potter films, he's been discovered and will definately be heard about for a while or so many hope :)

[Terry]

Yep, Sean and Christian are cuties. Colombus has stated that Sean has his vote as a future James Bond. How's that for action in a kilt! And I've heard that Christian Coulson will be in a "Hornblower" movie this spring with another cutie, Ioan Gruffudd. It may have already shown in Britain.

However, I wouldn't mind seeing Jason Issacs and Alan Rickman in a kilt, either.;)

[ChianaWeasley]

ButI have my ways, she'll eventually have no choice. She does want an eldest daughter ;)

[glaelia]

fleur... six weeks??? we're thinking this or next weekend ;) ;)

[Terry]

Good for you Gaelia! Rent "The Island of Dr. Moreau" the lastest (and saddest) version. Thewlis was very good. It's got, oooo, having a synapse lapse.....the guy who played Jim Morrison in "Doors", and he was a Batman.... he was in Thunderheart....WHAT'S his name!!! Ahhh! Anyway, just ignore the whole Marlon Brando and midget theme and you might like Thewlis.


AH HA! Val Kilmer. He's in the "Island" too. (YUMMMMM.....)

[glaelia]

i missed a film with VAL KILMER


!!


I MISSED A FILM WITH VAL KILMER!!!!!!!!



aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhh



right, i'm going to rent it tomorrow night... or try at least! oh my god!!


mind you... you know... i prob have seen it during my val kilmer obsession faze a few years ago and simply can't remember... well about 30 films in a couple of weeks is going to make me forget one or two isn't it...


hmmmm


will go look for it terry, thanks for the tip off ;) ;)

[Terry]

Gaelia, let you on a little secret...about 12 years ago, when he was filming Thunderheart....me and a fellow fan...well, got somewhat..."potioned up" and called every hotel in South Dakota one night. All the big ones. Looking for Val. And do you know that NOT ONE would let us know if he was there! And we KNEW he was somewhere in SD! The NERVE!!! Was really sorry about the whole thing a month later when I got the bill. True story. Sad, but true!

[swiftsnowmane]

Thewlis was in Island of Dr. Moreau????:eek: I just saw that for school and I didn't even know he was in that. Who did he play??:confused:

[glaelia]

LOL terry! that's not sad AT ALL!


i love val kilmer... he's just... so... beautiful!


he has a beautiful mouth.... a very kissable mouth... hmmmm

[Terry]

Well, Swify, did you see the "classic" version? If so, Thewlis won't be in there. I think that's really cool, actually, that your school had you watch that movie, no matter what version. NICE. But I bet you saw the one with Burt Lancaster. A true classic.

[ChianaWeasley]

I prefer the first version, to the newer one. Except for the little clone, that was cool. But the first film was much better I think.

Sorry to get off topic for a sec, but is Gary Oldman going to be part of the cast?

[Terry]

Yep. Check back on the Villian thread. He's playing Sirius. Cool choice, methinks.

[ChianaWeasley]

How marvelous, I dont think they could have choosen anyone better. :D I wonder how their going to pull off the frail frame, the gaunt cheeks, and the long stringy hair? Hmm....how exciting, I cant wait to see him as Sirius! :rotfl:

[Terry]

Well, Oldman is a great actor. He can "play" about anyone he wants too. I think he'll do the haunted, disturbed Sirius very well. In fact, that's almost how he played Beethoven in "Immortal Beloved" ....GREAT flick!

[Fleurdelacour]

NEWS! :D

I typed it up myself!



South London Press Friday 28th February 2003

Harry’s Arch arrival by Peter Harrison


Harry Potter is coming to south London to film part of the latest chapter in the epic saga due for release next year.

Last-minute preparations were being made to a set under the railway bridge at Borough Market this week, for one of the scenes from the long awaited Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is due to be shot next week.

Workmen were putting together a temporary brick doorway leading into premises underneath the bridge to be featured in the final production.

This is the latest in a series of film and television productions to be set in the south London location, which have featured Bridget Jones’ Diary, Lock, Stock, and Two smocking barrels and Entrapment which starred Bafta award winner Catherine Zeta Jones and Sean Connery.

In this film, the third of the series of JK Rowling’s popular Harry Potter books, the teenage wizard comes face-to-face with Sirius Black, an escapee of notorious prison for wizards.

Yet again young Harry’s life is put at risk by the followers of the evil wizard Voldermort, but fear not, the lad and his mates will undoubtedly save the day.

The part of Sirius Black is played by New Cross born actor Gary Oldman who was a student at the Rose Bruford College of Speech and Drama in Sidcup from 1976 to 1979

Timothy Spall, who lives in Honor Oak, is also appearing in the film as Peter Pettigrew.

And it seems the workmen are not new to the world of film, as painted along the ladder was the title of the most recent film, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Winifred Joseph, assistant financial controller of Borough Market, said “I can confirm that filming of the Harry Potter film will e taking place at the weekend on SUNDAY.
“The Third Hand Book Emporium is not one of our shops, that is something the film crew has created.”



I'll get the picture up soon :)

[angleet]

I think this suggests a severe shortage of Quiddich in the film - otherwise, why is Oliver out? But...then what about the Firebolt - and the scene in which Harry falls due to the Dementors? Have the script writers gone daft? If they are going to try to include all the quiddich WITHOUT Wood, then....Why?!? What's the point of cutting him out?

[sirius2004]

if u really think about there's been a major shortage of quidditch in the PS (SS whatever...:-p) and CoS....a whole...what? 3 scenes of it...MAYBE??

[Kristin]

I don't get it! :confused: How can there be no Quidditch? It's central to the plot. And it's when Gryffindor finally wins the cup. I can understand paring it down, like they did in the first two movies. But cutting it completely?!?! :eek: :mad: Makes no sense.

Oh well. I guess that's why I'll always prefer the books. :)

[ChianaWeasley]

A shortage of quidditch?! But thats impossible, it plays too big a role to skip over. :mad: Are they crazy, ive said this once and ill say it again, quidditch is the only sport worth watching or playing.:D

[elanorh]

:eek: :( :mad: :eek: Really -- ?? I liked the actor, but is there the possiblity that he's been 'scrapped' for some reason??

I just can't picture the removal of Quidditch from #3 .... or from any HP movie, frankly although there wasn't so much of it in #2. :(

Time to reread the books, methinks. :(

[Colli]

... who really knows elanorh? :) (:hugs:by the way!) The only reason they're giving us is "time"... but it's not like he was in either of the first two movies that much, anyway. :D

[ChianaWeasley]

My sister tries spotting where Oliver's head is in each shot. He's usually a blurry line

[glaelia]

i love the shot in PS when harry gets the nimbus 2000 delivered... all i can look at in that scene is oliver's head in the background and his mouth opening and closing like a fish... all blurry, yet still gorgeous



*sigh*


*sob*


still... we'll have lupin... and maybe even sirius to swoon over (if they do good with oldman's makeup! ) ;)

[Terry]

Glaelia, I know just the scene you're talking about... (Grr.....bring Sean B back!)

And I think Sirius will be PLENTY to talk about. I don't think they can make him look... uninteresting. Gary Oldman will see to that!

[ChianaWeasley]

That scene in particular, he does look rather adorable when he's in shock. I have a Harry Potter pull off calendar, and I save all the Oliver shots for my sister. There are quite a few if you think about it. :)

I think they'll make Sirius fit to his description, a bit gaunt, and worn. But still mysterious. We'll just have to wait.

[Colli]

Ok.. I'm confused.

We've got some actor dude to play a wolf.. presumably Lupin.

This isn't going to end up looking like The Princess Bride's ROUSes, is it?

http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/icnorthwales/mar2003/6/6/0002F436-EBBF-1E75-BC6E80BFB6FA0000.jpg

THE thrilling adventures of apprentice wizard Harry Potter and his friends have gripped millions of fans around the globe.

Now a North Wales actor has been left spellbound himself after being chosen to star in the latest blockbuster Potter movie - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Spencer Wilding, of Rhyl, puts his astonishing break in landing his part - of a wolf - down to his imposing 6ft 7in tall frame and lithe physique.

Spencer - known as Big Spen - is a former champion kickboxer who keeps himself in shape and brushes off rivals better than a trainee wizard in a bruising Quidditch match at Harry's school, Hogwarts.

In his new role the 30-year-old will be starring alongside talented British actors Gary Oldman, Timothy Spall, Sir Michael Gambon, David Thewlis, Pam Ferris and Paul Whitehouse.

Last night Spencer told the Daily Post: "It's like a dream and I'm very excited.

"I've been chosen for the part along with a ballet dancer from Holland!

"That's one of the reasons I was a kick boxer - to do well and get noticed.

"It was a painful way to get noticed but it was all part of the jigsaw of getting my name known."

Asked if the rumours were true that he was playing a wolf, he replied: "Rumours are rumours. You'll have to wait and see."

He attended two auditions in Leavesden Studios, near London, earlier this month.

He said: "We had to do lots of exercises and stretching. A lot of it was to do with fitness and body measurements. The rest was down to acting ability."

He has already been on set and came close to meeting Harry Potter - Daniel Radcliffe himself.

Spencer said: "I was 10 feet from Harry Potter. He was filming and I didn't meet him although I'm sure he's a lovely guy. His character is nice anyway.

Spencer's new part in The Prisoner of Azkaban is something he could scarcely have dreamed of as a boy.

[Elfëa]

:confused: What's going on?

No Thewlis?

[lithorose]

Of course they'll have Thewlis. They have to.:( Maybe they're going for the more traditional werewolf, that is a big beastly hairy man rather than a wolf. But didn't JKR state that he was a wolf? Like on all fours and everything? I never thought about it before, but all the movies and tv shows I've seen with werewolves the werewolf isn't an actual dog but sort of a cross. And I think he'll be better than an ROUS, makeup and CGI are better than they used to be. So far the HP films have had pretty good FX.

[ChianaWeasley]

He is rather short, for most men anyhow. Harry has a stuint double, I guess they figured it was ok. Will we be able to tell, because of the makeup? And if we didnt know about the stand in would we notice it wasn't Thewlis?

:confused:

[Moxie]

Well, on p. 353 of my PoA Lupin states that after taking Wolfsbane Potion "I am able to curl up in my office, a harmless wolf, and wait..." and on p. 381, "Hair was sprouting visibly on his face and hands, which were curling into clawed paws." Since I expect a bipedal semi-humanoid werewolf would have hands rather than paws (though the hands could also be clawed) I'll count this as two separate JKR quotes in favor of a fully wolflike wolf-form for Remus. Of course, since creatures have so far been the weak point in the CGI for the HP films, my expectations are not high. :p

[Terry]

Well, I don't know.... but it looks like this Wilding guy might play a "stunt" role in PoA. Wow. 6'7"!! That's as tall as Peter Mayhew....WHOOPS...wrong website, wrong forum! Sorry. But my goodness, what kinda werewolf would THAT be! Really scary, methinks. And I agree, Lithorose & Moxie, that he'll probably play the "undiluted" Lupin werewolf, when he didn't take his potion. Part man, part wolf. And with Wildings martial arts skills, it sounds like we're in for a really cool fight scene between him and Oldman. (Hmmm....hope they get a stunt double for the fight scene for Oldman...maybe Ray Parks! WHOOPS! Wrong forum again!)

[angleet]

Perhaps someone can find a quote from the book to refute this, but I never got the impression that Lupin turned into a part man, part wolf creature. Even before the potion, they talked about all four of them wandering around together in animal form. Would have been pretty hard to wander around with a half human/half wolf creature. A full wolf with another large black dog, though, could have passed for a mere animal. Having his friends with him, in animal form, allowed him to 'keep his mind' - similar to the potion, but I always thought he turned into a wolf, not part wolf.

[Colli]

:) I got the same impression, angleet.

Nice avatar, by the way. ;)

[ChianaWeasley]

I always imagined a transition into the wolf phase, like Thriller. :p
So how would they pull that off
I think Oldman could pull it off on his own

[angleet]

Thanks Colli :D

Chiana: Actually, David Thewlis (http://us.imdb.com/Name?Thewlis,%20David) is playing Lupin. Oldman is playing Sirius.

I found more evidence in the book that it is really just a wolf. In the chapter where Snape is teaching the class, Hermione begins talking about how the werewolf differs from the real wolf. She gets cut off (Snape gives his 'insufferable know-it-all' line), but she begins by saying 'The Werewolf differes from the real wolf in several small ways. The snout....

Sounds like a werewolf must look mostly like a regular wolf then. If Herm. said it, it must be so ;)

[sirius2004]

In his new role the 30-year-old will be starring alongside talented British actors Gary Oldman, Timothy Spall, Sir Michael Gambon, David Thewlis, Pam Ferris and Paul Whitehouse.
Thewlis IS in HP (in case u all didn't already notice that DUH lol) i just saw the post after it....then skimmed to see if anyone else had caught it in the article.

Being dumb!
Lar

[Terry]

Ok, right, if "Herm" said it....but WHY would they need a 6'7" double for Lupin? That's SOME werewolf!! I think the director has got something new up his sleeve..... But Wilding himself wouldn't admit to playing the "wolf". Is there some other part in PoA that he could play? As a 6'7" champion kickboxer? Wow.

[Elfëa]

6'7 Dementor? :D

[Terry]

That's an interesting thought! Ha, ha! Oh puleezzz let them put a kickboxing Dementor in PoA! Wouldn't that be a hoot! OK, well, maybe not IN the movie, but just the thought of a kickboxing Dementor is kinda funny.

[lithorose]

Picking through the article again I saw this:"I've been chosen for the part along with a ballet dancer from Holland!So there's more than one, eh? Could well be they're dementors...unless they're playing Buckbeak!:p Love to see kickboxing dementors though!:D

[Colli]

Originally posted by lithorose

:p I wonder who would get to play the front end? ;)

[Elfëa]

Well, Buckbeak is a male :p

[Terry]

Oh my!:o

[sirius2004]

As of November 2002, Chris Columbus has not ruled out returning to direct this movie. In order to balance the attention spans of young viewers and the length of the book (and resulting richness of information needed to put the story on-screen), Columbus has talked about filming this movie in two 2-hour acts. Act 1 would be released around Thanksgiving 2005, and would end in a cliffhanger. Act 2 would be released a month later, around Christmas 2005, picking up where Act 1 left off.

And you all laughed when i suggested that it be released in two parts (don't remember when/where i said it but i DO remember saying it :p)

that's straight from IMDb.com search for Harry Potter, click on harry potter and the goblet of fire (2005) then look on the task bar on the left for Trivia....click and VOILA!!!!

[Terry]

Sirius...right you are! That's really the only way perphaps they can do it. I'm worried they'll leave out half the book or something like that. If PoA garners as much attention and money as the first two, hopefully they'll have enough financial backing to do two movies like that for GoF. And it probably will. CoS is still showing in theatres in my town and the DVD comes out in 3 weeks!

[Colli]

:) A clip of Lockhart's pop quiz is up at the official site. :D

here (http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/web/dailyprophet/article.jsp?id=COS_DVD_Quiz_TZ&arc=1)

[ChianaWeasley]

So sorry for the blunder there, Thewlis is playing Lupin and Oldman is playing Sirius .
repeats this to herself over and over
I'm sure there is no real financial limit for the next two films. Because if you think about it, the could spend a billion dollars on the next film and make double the amount in ticket sales alone. Harry Potter is that famous, they probably have the saying
Spared no exspense. ;)

[Terry]

I agree Chiana. HP makes money. But then what POSSIBLE reason could they have for deleting Quidditch from PoA other than time and/or money restraints? The games were such a huge part of the plot. Well, they're deleting Sean Biggerstaff at any rate. Maybe they'll shoot the matches without him? That would be a loss in of itself.:confused:

[ChianaWeasley]

Well from the rumors, I figure their cutting out Quidditch all together, as to why I have no clue. But they wouldn't be daft enough to shoot Quidditch without Biggerstaff. I think due to the long plot and time restraints their cutting it out. Im crossing my fingers and hoping that its just a rumor and there will be Quidditch and they'll rehire Biggerstaff. We can only hope :D

[Elfëa]

Slytherin players aren't going to be in the film either... but that would mean they cut out the scene of false Dementor! :(

But, then again, they might "rewrite" the scene and leave Quiddicth out of it... :rolleyes:

[alqua]

Well, in the two frist movies the quidditch has been totally irrelevant to the plot and has only been taking time from more important scenes, so I'd understand perfectly if Cuaron chooses not to use any quidditch scenes in this movie.

Although, if I had been in charge, I probably would have skipped the quidditch in CoS, rather than in PoA, because there the quidditch has a bit more important role (the fake dementors, Harry breaking his broom, getting Firbolt etc.). But if Cuaron finds another way to get this stuff in, I won't be missing quidditch.

[sirius2004]

do we know FOR SURE that Sean was cut out? if we do is it possible that:
A) they cut him for reasons unknown...
B) he left for reasons unknown?
he might've decided he wanted to move on to bigger and (to him) better things than children's movies. He's not that major of a character, maybe someone else offered him a lead in another promising movie, but he couldn't do both??
maybe??

[Elfëa]

Marcus Flint is cut out as well, and so are other Slytherin players, according some of the HP fandom news sites...

Biggerstaff stated cleary that he was left out, not that he left the films. :(

[ChianaWeasley]

I cant even think of how that must have felt, being left out of the third film all together. I'd be really upset, then I'd sue them till they let me back in. :D

Was that really the actor who played Marcus Flint's teeth?

[sirius2004]

i don't think he CAN sue them...i mean....unless there was already teh contract for the third film, if not, there's not much he can do if anything at all...:(
i really don't think those were the actor's real teeth...just a hunch....;-)

[ChianaWeasley]

:LOL:
I figured they werent the actors teeth, rather good fakes I must say. And besides, he would have fixed them magiciallylong before then. At least Hermione did.

Well I still think that it's terrible they cut them all out of the next film.:rolleyes:
Durn muggles, glad I never was one. ;)

[lithorose]

MuggleNet has some exclusive photos from the set...and guess what? They're of the Knight bus!;) :D

Here they are (http://www.mugglenet.com/exclusivepoa.shtml)

[Colli]

From The Leaky Cauldron:

We went along to the POA filming in Palmers green yesterday and got chatting to a man working on the film; he was telling us some of the scenes that had been shot already - the aunt Marge bit is slightly different from the book, apparently she floats out into the conservatory and then into the sky, Uncle Vernon grabs her ankle and the dog jumps at his. Also ... they've kept ... Snape dressed in woman's clothing when the students have their lesson about boggarts with Lupin. Oh and apparently the models of the Dementors are really scary.

Did you READ that? SNAPE IN A DRESS! :swoon: *fans self* They kept it! *dances around the room*

[ChianaWeasley]

Ah...I cant wait to see Alan Rickman in a stuffed vulture hat, and must we forget the handbag? ;) :p

[Moxie]

Originally posted by ChianaWeasley ...must we forget the handbag? ;) :p

We cannot forget the handbag :eek: The handbag is mandatory, and if it isn't included someone needs a :trout: ;)

Hehehehehehe, one more wondrous Snape-scene to make it onto film... :swoon: joins Colli in the happy dance

[Terry]

Oh dear. One of my "swoonees" in a dress, a vulture hat, and a handbag?! Oh well. As long as he gets "screen-time".

[ChianaWeasley]

:LOL:
Even now I still cant picture it in my mind. LOL

[Elfëa]

Wah!

I've seen the Knight Busses! I've TOUCHED one! :p

(I thought you'd want to know;))

[lithorose]

Why didn't you tell us this before?!? I'm not sure I believe you...:p

[ChianaWeasley]

!!!!!!!!!!!!EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This cannot possibly be true!
Please calm me down and tell me this isnt true!
In Disney Adventures special movie issue, it says that Tom Felton who plays Draco Malfoy will not be in the next movie. Here is what it says:Guess what--Hogwarts bully Draco Malfoy will have a new face in the next harry Potter movie! Tom Felton, the actor who played Malfoy in the first two films will be replaced by another actor, but who?
This cannot be true! Someone, anyone!
They cant cut out Sean Biggerstaff and Tom Felton.
Sean Biggerstaff was bad enough! But putting someone else in for Tom Felton!! But he's the face of Draco Malfoy!!
Please, someone find out if this is definate or not!
::Chiana breaths into a paper bag::

I edited five minutes later.

It was a Disney April Fool's joke!!
That really isnt funny!!! :mad:

But Im relieved Tom is still part of the cast.
Wow, I feel stupid

[Seriphus]

More news on Trelawney, Cho and the fat lady here. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/tv_film/newsid_2933000/2933667.stm)

[Terry]

Ah, Chiana, don't feel bad....I fell for that one too. I mean, if the director has cut out Quidditch and Sean, then I wouldn't be surprised by anything that's different in the movie. But I understand your horror. Losing Tom would've been a disaster!! He's such a perfect Draco.

Wow. Chris Columbus is already talking about film No. Five!!!? That's encouraging.

[ChianaWeasley]

A lesson learned, finish reading the thread dicussion before jumping to conclusions. :D

Anyway, movie five! Wow, someone must have read the book ealier then everyone else
::looks around suspiciously::
I read the article Ser, tha seems to be a good casting choice for Rosmerta!
Im very pleased :)

I'd like to see what the Dementors are going to look like, Im so impatient. :D

If you really want to see them, Chiana, there's a pix over on Godric's Hollow. They look very creepy.

Dawn French will be bloody brilliant as the Fat Lady! :D She's the funnist woman alive I swear! :D

Isn't Julie Christie a little old for being Madam Rosmerta? I mean in the PoA, Ron blushes and gets the drinks himself when they're in the Three Broomsticks....

THAT WEBSITE HAS MY PICTURES! MY KNIGHT BUS PICTURES! :mad:

Well now let's use logic Fleur. ;) I'd probably do worse than blush if you put me in a room with Alan Rickman, and he's 57. :p ;)

[Terry]

And Julie Christie is appearing in "Troy" next year. Guess she's still got what it takes.....older does sometimes mean better.....!

[lithorose]

:LOL: Those Dementors look suspiciously familiar...:D (and like Harry Potter needs any more help looking like a Lord of the Rings ripoff;))

Fleur, I hope you ask them to credit you for your pics. That's gotta be frustrating...:(

[Colli]

Could someone link a picture? I am not seeing these Dementors... all I see that's remotely close is the Hand of Glory from CoS.

(edit) Nevermind. ;)

[Terry]

You got it then, Colli? You have to scroll down a bit. Then you see the Dementor...... icky, huh?

[Fleurdelacour]

Yes gotta agree with you there Lithorose :rolleyes: ;) Yes it is fustrating... :mad: I shall email then once I get time....

[Elbereth94]

Wow, the Dementors look A LOT like the Nazgul from LOTR...oh well, they were described looking like Nazgul anyways, makes sense though. They are almost as I imagined them...though I thought their faces would be more hidden. (Remember how Harry asks Lupin what is under their hoods?)

I was just watching the CoS DVD, and in the scene in Dumbledore's office...do one of the pictures look like Gandalf...I thought I might be imagining it...did anyone else see the one I am referring to?

[Mellon]

Welcome to the forums, Elbereth94. :)

Several websites said that one of the pictures in Dumbledore's office was Gandalf. I didn't see it myself - very observant of you, I'm impressed. :)

[lithorose]

Welcome, Elbereth!

:rolleyes: Someone's gotta put a stop to this ripping off of the Lord of the Rings. Giant spiders, trolls, guys in black robes, wizards, elves...it's too much!

[Terry]

Well, I've had the DVD playing pretty much continually for the last 24 hours..... my cats are all hiding, I don't think they care much for the musical score.... here, let me look!

Well, I saw a couple of men in pointy hats in pictures on the wall. I couldn't identify any of them as Gandalf. If somebody has, they have keener eyes than I!

[ChianaWeasley]

Nope, nope, nope. Those are not dementors, they cant be. Your not supposed to really be able to see their faces, unless their giving "the kiss". The hands are dead on though, in the books it describes them looking as if they've decayed under water.

Thanks for the link though Terry! :D

Well you dont see flying cars in Lord of the Rings...;) OR pumpkin juice! :D

::chiana smiles proudly::

[Colli]

:) If you look at the comments, you see that it's a fan's composite of what Dementors might look like... not the PoA dementors themselves.

Welcome, Elbereth! :hug:

[Terry]

Thank you Colli! I always appreciate younger, keener eyes! :D I'm glad those were'nt the real dementors...(you sure?) Cause I was a bit disappointed about their appearance. I was hoping for something more menacing and mysterious!

[lithorose]

watch the Weathertop scene in FOTR;)

Actually, didn't the books say the Dementors don't even have mouths, just holes? And they're only supposed to have one hand showing. I always imagined the hand to be a little like Anakin's in AOTC, only slimy and gross. :shudders:

edit: I've been looking for that portrait of Gandalf too, and I've come to the conclusion that they're ALL Gandalf!

[Colli]

The portrait above the doorway is supposed to be Gandalf.. but you can't really tell it's him. I couldn't anyway, it was a bit blurry.

Concerning the Dementor pic:
First Glimps of the Dementors

Update: Found it on their site, it's a composite made by one of them. Looks good doesn't it.

You can breathe freely. :D

[Fleurdelacour]

lol, must read things! Thanks mother!

Oh I read something on ceefax the other night, that made my skin boil! Someone said that Frodo is Harry, Sam is Ron, etc. Oh god, I threw me sock at the telly! :mad: :rolleyes: ITS COMPLETLY DIFFERENT! IMAGINE COMPARING SAM TO RON! HONESTLY!

[lithorose]

Yeah. Sam is way more like Neville than Ron. Sheesh!:rolleyes: Don't they know anything?

[Moxie]

I've got to disagree... Neville's good at Herbology but pretty incompetent at everything else, while Sam is more competent than most people - especially himself! - give him credit for (at least until after the Scouring of the Shire, when he's elected Mayor despite his working-class background). I'll reserve judgement on exactly who Sam most resembles until the HP series is done, but so far Neville seems an unlikely candidate to me.

[ChianaWeasley]

GamGee becomes mayor of the SHIRE?!?!?!
I dont mean to sound pathetic or moronic, but I never finished the books. But I adore Sam's character, one of the best I've read about so far.

I agree with Moxie too. Neville and Sam are definatley not the "one in the same" characters. Sam is brave and courageous, intelligent, wise(LOL).
Neville is not very brave or courageous he let himself be trampled on. Jeez I'm so sick of that, someone give the boy some courage! The wizards slackin' again!

Well Im sure he could be much more of a hero in the position Sam was in. But Sam is also a much deeper character, Neville is a stock character, there to make people laugh. He's the guy everyone picks on and practices spells on. Sam is funny sure, but I would never treat him like I could Neville.
With Neville I could be buddy buddy with and goof off with, but with Sam I'd look up and respect him more. and I've gotten carried away haven't I?....sorry:o
:) :D ;) :cool:

[Colli]

Way to go, Moxie. :p ;)

Neville has to be brave.. he's Gryffindor! He obviously has cour-age (said in the Cowardly Lion voice) hidden somewhere inside him that we haven't seen yet (with the exception of that bit in TSS).

[lithorose]

*sigh* sarcasm just doesn't carry over into print...:D

[Moxie]

Actually, Neville's situation reminds me a bit of a really good (but probably not for the young, the violence occasionally gets graphic) trilogy, The Deed of Paksenarrion by Elizabeth Moon. At one point, "Paks" fears she has forever lost the courage that made her a great warrior, and goes to one Master Oakhallow for help and advice; he tells her that "courage is going on" and is shown not always by going forth with weapons to battle your enemies, but sometimes just in going on living in the face of adversity... just as Neville keeps going on knowing his parents suffer an ongoing fate worse than death (which I can relate to a bit, my father was ill for many years and several times I heard him wish for death). It's not an obvious sort of courage, I suppose, but it's been there through all Neville's years at Hogwarts - and that ability to carry on despite a horrid situation may make a true hero of Neville yet before the HP series is done. (I'd also like to see him go into research Herbology in an effort to cure his parents and discover something really useful, but that's just me.)

[Terry]

I'd love the thought of Neville becoming a hero! And Moxie, that's a VEERRY interesting tie-in between his parents illness and his apparent talent in Herbology. I'd like to see that!

[ChianaWeasley]

Have you ever wondered if Neville will get the position of the herbology professor after he graduates Hogwarts?:)

[Terry]

That would be really nice. Don't ya think? I definitely want to see Neville succeed.

[ChianaWeasley]

Yeah! Neville needs alittle more heroic,I'm tired of the 'lets all pick on Neville' cliche. For example in the film where the pixies hang him from the chandelier, he says "Why is it always me?" I just wanted to cry, its so true he always gets the butt of everything.

I should create the Stop Abuse Against Neville club!
Look out S.P.E.W!!!
:rolleyes:
:D

[Terry]

Great idea, Chiana! BTW, WHAT happened to the Villian thread? Do you know?

Just read that the 4th movie might start filming early next year.... is that right? Maybe it will be shown in a shorter time span than No. 3 was. 2 years is a long time to wait!

[sirius2004]

bad...bad...bad...bad...bad....villian....gone??? bad...bad...bad....*begins hypterventilating* bad...bad...not good...uh oh...(thanks for pointing that out Terry! :( what happened??? :( *cries*

[ChianaWeasley]

I dunno where the villain thread went...but the forum list of threads got shorter, if we have to we could just start another one until the old one is found. Or if it isn't....uh oh.

::Chiana gives Sirius another bag to breathe into::

[lithorose]

Not sure if this is the best place for this but I ran across this bit on an LJ:


SATURDAY WARNER BROTHERS IS SHOWING SNEAK PEEKS AT ITS FILMS AND PRISONER OF AZKABAN IS ONE OF THEM! AND I'M NOT GOING! Has anyone heard anything about this? Seems kinda early for sneak peeks.:confused:

[Terry]

Well, it could be a "teaser" and not a "trailer". You know, just flashes of pictures. I've heard rumors that the POA will be out next June. So this does seem early. But if it's just bits of pictures they're showing.......it's possible. Hey. I'll take anything. I've loaned my OotP out to a friend...and I'm in WITHDRAWAL!!!!!

[Colli]

Yeah, they're showing some of the ready footage now.

From a common (and rather unconventional) news site that I won't post the name of seeing as how it frequently goes beyond our site's rating ;):

The look is much much darker and creepier. The sets are the same, but the lighting, etc. is much more shadowy. The scenes [the source's friend] saw were: Pam Ferris being blown up, the initial train scenes with the dementors (who hadn't been put in yet), Michael Gambon as Dumbledore (he's more commanding, threatening and moody), and a scene with Dumbledore racing upstairs which she thought looked a bit odd as you wouldn't think he would be so nimble.

Gary Oldman as Sirius is as described in book – really greasy long black hair and shabby clothes. The werewolf is enormous and the different heads for the transformation are quite horrific. She thinks that this might get a twelve rating over here. The animagus sirius is also huge and effective with someone inside controlling the animatronics.
I'm REALLY excited to see how Gary Oldman and Michael Gambon are looking, it sounds like Alfonso Cuaron is doing an excellent job. But if the rating gets bumped up to PG-13, it won't hurt the audience that much, will it? Maybe parents will FINALLY think twice before taking their 5-year-old, but 10 year olds will find a way in.

[Kristin]

PG-13 is only a suggestion. Whereas R movies ban people younger than 17 without a parent, PG-13 is only a recommendation. So movie theaters should allow 11-year-olds in.

We have that same bit out front. :)

[Colli]

;) You know, I really could start opening up the Front Page instead of tapping /forums onto the end. :)

I thought PG-13 was a limit? Wow! You learn something new everyday. ;)

[lithorose]

It's not an official limit but it will make a lot of parents think twice about allowing their kids to see it. And I have a feeling it will only fuel the anti-Potter people.:(

[Colli]

From The Leaky Cauldron (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org),
Just received trusted word that you can expect a first trailer for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to be attached to Looney Tunes: Back in Action due in U.S. theaters on November 14. Not that far now!

#1) YAY! A trailer!

#2) Looney Tunes?!?!??! I guess we can always download it. *sigh*

(Oh, and Kristin, it seems MuggleNet finally picked up on that article about the 17-year-old girl. ;))

[Cedric]

I figured it was about time to get back to my old news posting habits. I would have started a new thread, like old times, but I thought people would get mad at me for that...

I'd send them to Kristin, like I have been doing, but I'm always worried that she's already got what I'm sending. So I'll just post what's not on the main page here.

I'll start off with an interview with JKR, I guess Dateline talked to her... Think I missed that one... Anyway, head over to the cauldron (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/quickquotes/articles/2003/0620-dateline-couric.htm) to read it up.

And yet another interview, this time courtesy of Potterish (http://www.potterish.com/).
Oh, by the way, Griffiths is Vernon, and Melling is Dudley.

"Omelete: Are you guys already filming with Alfonso Cuarón?

Richard Griffiths: To tell you the truth, we're already done. The only reason that we are here, it's because they don't need us at the set anymore.

O: What's the difference between Cuarón and Chris Columbus?

RG: You can't tell yet. We're a bad part of the story, the unliked. Of course there's the basic difference, which is the form of how each one treats the project and everyone knows that the story will become more darker from now on. What I thought was interesting, is that Alfonso showed us that there should be more fear. Harry's more powerful each time. We're not a threat to him anymore. Now he can act on his own, in a frightening way. In the beginning, we were evil. Now, we want to be, but we don't have this power anymore. We were scared all the time, that Harry was gonna do something to us.

O: Is it hard to be a Dursley in the real life?

Harry Melling: Truthfully, the people practically don't know me for Dudley, which is great. It would be really bad if they knew [Translator's note: I think he's referring to girls>.

RG: What no one knows about Harry [Melling, (Dudley)>, is that he wears those "fattening" clothes, which makes him gigantic. When he puts those clothes on he turns into Dudley Dursley, but at the end of the day, he takes it off and goes back to being this normal, healthy kid. I don't have that problem (slapping his enormous belly) Hahahaha.

O: And at school, what do your friends say?

HM: They keep on calling me Dudley Dursley, but they're joking around. It's fun.

O: Would you like to be Harry Potter, to change a little?

HM: No. I like Dudley. I like to interpret evil people, hehehe.

O: How do you think people will react at this darker Potter movie?

RG: The stories are becoming more dark and I think that's what makes them more attractive. Because the people that saw the first movie were 13 and 14 years olds, they're growing along with the story. So it's natural of movies to also grow, and become more complex and mature. Of course there will always be new children of 10 years, to see the first movie and repeat the cycle. They wouldn't be able to use the same people and repeat the stories changing just a little. It wouldn't be fun.

In the fourth book, new problems begins to arise, in normal relations of sexuality. The hormones are changing these kids. But I think everything starts in Prisoner of Azkaban.

O: And what about the fourth movie?

RG: I hope it is made. When I signed the contract for the first movie, there was an option on whether I wanted to be in the fourth one. But the difference between this option and really filming it, is really big. First the producers need to decide if they'll make it.

If this movie (Azkaban), goes well, they should make the next one. I don't know what will happen, but that production is something big. On one side, you think that there's no way that there won't be a fourth movie, since there's a lot of money invested here. But I've seen projects that were being filmed, and suddenly cancelled. Out of nowhere the people come and say "We don't have any more money to continue. Here's your payment, you can go home."

O: And you Harry (Melling), also have this option to be in the fourth movie?

HM: Yes. I received that option when I signed the contract for the second movie. But just how Richard was saying, it's just an option.

RG: But it's great. It means they like you!

O: How long did you guys work on this movie?

RG: We worked for about a month, and maybe we'll go back for a few more days, if they need to redo something.

O: Harry, do you get along well with the other kids?

HM: Yes, always. This month that we spent filming, I had to go to school with them.

RG: The children here have to study. It's classes with more than 300 kids.

O: Is participating in the Harry Potter movies turning into a routine, or is this impossible?

HM: A little. It's kind of like going to school: you wake up, change clothes and go. But of course it's more fun."

And lastly, the Dutch cover of the new book.

[Colli]

Thanks Cedric!!

[Pilgrim Grey]

Hmm, that doens't really tell us much, but it's interesting all the same :)

And I don't like those Thestrals - theat's probably what they're supposed to look like, but for some reason I never thought of them looking like that...

[Mirdan]

i actually envisioned the thestrals to look like nastily emaciated black horses with sagging flanks...you know, really skinny and long-legged bat-winged horses!

very nice cover art, though :cool:

[Colli]

At least they don't look like this:

http://www.council-of-elrond.com/gallery/moviepictures/albums/Characters/The_Two_Towers/ttt032.jpg

;)

[Cedric]

That's pretty much exactly how I thought they'd look....

Oh well, I guess I'm just a FREAK ;)

-Cedric

[lithorose]

I imagined them looking like skeletons with black fuzz on them. And glowing red eyes. Maybe my imagination's just too vivid. :o

[Cedric]

Red eyes?? It says over and over that they have white eyes! :D;) I think they look fine... After all, if they looked too strange, then muggles might notice them ;)

Hey all! As Kristin so keenly spotted (see front page), there's a name floating around as a possible director for the Goblet of Fire movie: Mike Newell

He's British. Certainly that will make many of you happy. ;)

And (unless I just didn't see it on the front page) there's this piece of information/rumor also: That filmmakers are "planning" on a November 2005 release date for the GoF movie and a June 2007 date for OotP. 2007???? That's 4 years down the road! Can you imagine the progress moviemakers will have made in the special effects department? They may be able to pull OotP off yet! :D

Anyway, those are just rumors. But it's fun to speculate, ja?

[Fleurdelacour]

Ooh great pics Ced :) I watched PS the other night, and it's so weird to see them, all grown lol!

Ooh Mike Newell... Didn't he do Four Weddings and a Funeral?! A BRIT! :D Finally, thats what we should have had in the first place. I hope he gets it!

[Cedric]

Be kinda funny if he made it badly...

Well here's some PoA pics:

ooooh, is that a Scops Owl? there's one living in the field opposite where i live... we think it escaped from an owl sanctury nearby... its so cute! and ickle!

wow! that owl is adorable! that's the last time you will ever hear me complimenting a bird But it's exactly how I imagined Pig :) thanks for the pics Ced :)

[Cedric]

Not a problem :)

If anyone's interested it maybe becoming part of the GoF movie, jump over here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/tv_film/newsid_3104000/3104169.stm), you can apply starting January 2004.... I don't think I have a chance.

Thanks to NewsRound for the news.

[Fleurdelacour]

Maybe if you pretended to be British you could get in, and lie about your passport ;)

I wonder... D'reckon you have to be Bulgarian or French to be Krum and Fleur?... I think, if I get my french gcse I could don a wig, face mask, and be french ;)

Lori! In Neighbours was rumoured to be playing Cho?! She's Australian, obviosuly...

[Cedric]

I donno about that... I think they'd see right through me. I mean they have to be able to spot that stuff a little, right?

Danish OotP cover:

http://www.gyldendal.dk/gyldendal/BdbAndGyl.nsf/Id/bE960440FED1B3701C1256D6A00456C4E/$file/tn.JPG

He looks so.... Danish...

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

It looks like Harry's sneezing...

Maybe the wont, I mean they gave Radcliffe the part of Harry ;)

[Cedric]

I think he looks really old, like in his 50's.

What, Radcliffe's not British?

-Cedric

[ChianaWeasley]

I dont like that cover at all. Especially with the horses on it. I much rather like the American version, or the british version.

Too...German, lol ;)

Monkfish, no, that's just wrong! You should rid yourself of those thoughts imediantly! :p

Here's an MSN exclusive (http://www.msnbc.com/news/943721.asp?cp1=1) piece about the next movie. Haven't read it myself yet, so don't know if they's any good info in there.

Ron's Hermione's boy!!!!!!!

[ChianaWeasley]

Excuse me but you're both wrong...
Ron's my knight in maroon armor ;)

But actually I must protest and say he is Hermione's boy, and she is his girl. One day you'll read about them sitting by the fire in the commonroom doing Potions work, arguing as usual, and next thing you know...they'll be rollin' round on the floor :D

[Colli]

Cedric, thanks for the link. :D Although that article just depresses me. ;)

Cuaron definitely isn't doing GoF, acc. to this quote from Entertainment Weekly:
It was always only "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" for me. I never thought [seriously] about continuing." Though he was approached about doing "Goblet" (slated for 2005) while finishing "Azkaban" (coming out next June) seemed too daunting. "Frankly," says Cuaron, smiling impishly, "I'm extremely lazy." Still, he dreads saying adios to "Potter" stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint. "That will be very painful," he says. "They're growing fantastically as actors. But it's up to the next director to enjoy them."

[Kristin]

Is anybody else troubled by the Muggle costuming for the kids?

In the first two movies, the costumes were much more Muggle-ish than in the books. But now they're in full Muggle clothes with sweatshirts and jeans at school. Why?!:confused:

[swiftsnowmane]

Yeah I don't know why they feel the need for the kids to look like they just stepped out of The Gap. I think its annoying, personally. I always imagined the kids to wear robes while they're at Hogwarts..... The whole point in the books is that wizards don't dress like Muggles. :confused:

[ChianaWeasley]

Chiana is angered by the costues she is! Well...not rons and harry...but she definatley doesn't like Hermione's.

She thinks Ron's is very nice!

But she reminds you that they do wear casual during holidays and such :)

[swiftsnowmane]

yeah I know they do wear Muggle clothes sometimes, but...i dunno...the clothes look too recognizably from this decade. I always imagine the Harry Potter world (muggle and wizard) to sort of have a timeless look to them, not so recognizably set in one time period. But that's just me. :)

[Colli]

I do like Ron's sweater, it looks like a Weasley sweater. :)


Swifty, I couldn't have put it better myself. :) :hug:

[ChianaWeasley]

Hear hear!
I agree with you swifty!
The timeless potter look,
the weasley sweaters
and the hermione robes and skirt,
not the run way of today
bah! bloody fashion

:D

[Fleurdelacour]

Just read on the front page! But the Four Weddings and a Funeral director (forgot his name alerady....) got the job of directing GoF! :D

*jumps up and down excitedly*

[Colli]

:) Mike Newell.

I bet HE doesn't think Hermione would wear a trendy pink sweater and a rainbow belt. :p

[Drizella]

First Brit to direct a HP film! :D I'm so glad they're doing GoF.

They should have two GoF films in order to do it justice... I'm thinking the first part to be released in Thanksgiving of 2005...the second half at Chritsmas of the same year...

C'mon Mike Newell, I know you're reading this thread! ;)

Croydon is in Surrey but still in London! Welling is in Kent, but still in London... Bromley is on the Kent/Surrey borders and still in London.

Dulwich isn't a suburb is it? In the south london press it said it was... I don't fancy that at all...

Ah that's it Mike Newell, I knew it ended in a well ;)

yeah, CROYDEN is a london suburb. not the whole of surrey. look at a map with county boundaries marked sometime :p

dulwich is officially a suburb. its also a village and an independant town. work that out...

back on topic, i really hope the PoA movie is better than the first two. dunno about anyone else but i was sorely disappointed, especiallt with CoS.

[Fleurdelacour]

That's what I meant in the first place! Surrey is only little!

I refuse to live in a suburb... Half my house is in the village... It's on the border. You can walk from the kitchen to the downstairs loo and you're in a village. strange how they did the boundaries...

Thanks for thar Drizella... There's a sign post saying Lupins! I want to go! :p Anyone up for a trip to where they film it? ;)

[Little Miss]

surrey's huge you nitwit

[Fleurdelacour]

You may think you've changed but you haven't. You're still as patronising as you've always been...

It not as big as Kent. Kent streches out to the coast. It's tiny compared to London... and the northen counties....

[Little Miss]

spose its huge in comparison to a bacon sarnie? :o

ok, yeah alright i get your point. you know i've always hated admitting i'm wrong... some stains just wont wash out completely... sorry about that. i am trying though :(

I haven't seen any new pictures recently, but I moved into my new dorm room today and so things have been a 'lil busy.

[Fenchurch]

I read in an article the other day (from the Leaky Cauldron, maybe?) that Alfonso Cuaron is interested in directing OotP. Anybody know anything about that? :confused:

[Little Miss]

who's Alfonso Cuaron?

[Fleurdelacour]

The bloke directiong PoA. The bloke who gives Hermione Granger a pink hoodie and a rainbow belt... :barf:

He also directed Y Mama Tambien.

[Lanen]

It's not the director, whoever he/she may be, that I feel sorry for. Can you imagine being a scriptwriter and being handed Goblet of Fire, all 2 lbs. of it (ok, I'm kidding! ;) ) and told -

There, make a 2 1/2 hour movie script out of that.

Ye gods... almost like taking the Lord of the Rings and making any kind of movie that's less than about 2 weeks long! ;) :D

[ChianaWeasley]

Chiana shudders at the meer thought of the dreaded pink hoodie

Hermione does not do pink.

[Moxie]

shrugs I suppose my objection is more to the casualness and possibly trendiness of the clothing than to the girliness of Hermione's outfit. I was quite like Hermione at that age and still was into rainbows and all that stuff, so being a brainiac and liking girly clothing aren't necessarily mutually exclusive (though I think spouse's sister took it to a bit of extreme insisting on wearing pretty dresses while playing in dirt and climbing trees and all that good kid stuff :)) However, clothing that looks fashionable when the movie comes out can make it look horribly dated a few years later :p and I'm pretty sure Rowling didn't intend her stories to be stuck in a particular time period.

[Fenchurch]

Hey, I like pink. And I'm not afraid to admit it!

Fenchurch shouts from the rooftops: I like the pink hoodie!

(I'll admit I'm quite a bit more worried about the 4th movie than I am about the 3rd. Two and a half hours to cram that entire pivotal story into a screenplay? It can't be done! :eek: )

[ChianaWeasley]

Moxie, you've just made a very good point :D

I don't mind the occasional pink, well...the only pink i really hate is pepto-bismol pink. Blargh! :barf:

[Fleurdelacour]

Yes, it's not the colour pink (my bedroom is hot pink ;) ) it's the fact she's wearing something my sister would wear - and does wear... :barf: There is exactly two months between my sister and Emma Watson..... Mmmm.....

But aren't the books set in the early ninetees? Because at Nick's death day party it said he was killed in 1492 or something, five hundered years previous I think...

[ChianaWeasley]

She did begin the series in the early ninetees, but not many fans are going to read into that when they see the film. They'll just think either "OOooo I like pink!" OR "Hmm...thats a bit odd."

LOL :LOL: I on the other hand will be sitting in the front row grumbling about how it isn't Hermione, and who ever I'm with will tell me to stop complaining:D
hehehe

[swiftsnowmane]

I haven't thought it was Hermione since the first movie, so a lil bit o' pink isn't going to help much either....:rolleyes:

Grrrr. *intensely disliking the movies at the moment*m

sorry don't mind me.:(

[xKatiexBellx]

I agree swiftsnowmane. The movies really rip you off, Daniel Radcliffe totally wrecks Harry's character... I used to think Harry was quite cool, but now that Daniel Radcliffe has done such an awful job playing his part, it takes the fun out of the books.

PoA had better be good... If it's going to be coming out half-a-year later than normal:mad:

[ChianaWeasley]

The only characters I was really happy with was Ron and sir Nicholas DeMimsy. But then again I think I was picturing john cleese subconciously the entire time. ;)

I'm not even going to touch this.

[ChianaWeasley]

Oh, oh!
Faid are you really Emma Watson in disguise on a HP fansite? So you can observe your fans?!
;)

[glaelia]

the pink hoodie is good...


david thewlis with a moustache is bad... very very bad...

[ChianaWeasley]

I dunno, I kind of like the mustache. Well, I really like the idea of him playing Lupin so I guess it wouldn't bother me :)

[Fleurdelacour]

It's shadow... It's a shadow beneth his nose... that's what it must be... moustaches scare me... my had had a moustache in the eightes... very bad indeed... it's a shadow... no remus lupin would have a moustache... stubble maybe, but moustache noo...

Please let it be a shadow... please they wouldnt put a moustache on my Remus!! :(

Moustache = Tom Selleck. NOT Remus Lupin!!

[Kristin]

Totally agree there. :barf: The moustache is so wrong. Remus doesn't have a moustache!

They've ruined Sirius and Lupin. As much as I like Gary Oldman, I think he's wrong for Sirius. And this Thewlis guy seems even more wrong as Lupin. :(

[Fleurdelacour]

http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/images/2003/07/shack.jpg

Right... If you look closely, under his nostril its all flesh coloured so it doesn't look moustache-ish... He just looks menacing... Which is wrong, the only time Remus is menacing is when he's in werewolf form....

[Xyla]

that, and he looks ugly, which is also very wrong :(

I think Gary Oldman is a pretty good Sirius, just not the tatoos... ugh, take those off! But David Thewlis always has that awful look on his face, like he hates the world
:barf: Not anything like Remus Lupin, no way.:(

look closely. emma's head is the wrong shape. daniel's face is odd looking, and its all out of perspective. thewlis looks hunched over and smarmy, and oldman (who i actually think is rather attractive) is heavily made up to give him the haggard aged look.

if i were you i wouldn't take this picture as gospel. whoever took it was either a pathetic photographer or they've got their hands on a reel and taken a random still off for the purposes of the article, and chose a little carelessly.

he'll get more attractive at the very end of the film. and GoF? whoa... hottie alert!

[Deagol's Bane]

I always think of Oldman as sort of a crazy character, and he seems pretty good at it, but I don't think of Sirius as that kind of a crazy, kooky character. Also, he doesn't have the natural English accent, does he?
It might be hard for me to see him as anyone but Gary Oldman even with the get-up.

I don't know anything about Thewlis. I've never really had a mental pic of Lupin.

[ChianaWeasley]

They are correct, Thewlis always has a scowl kind of look on his face. Whether he's angry or not, I think it's the expression his face settles to. shrugs

But you notice Ron's hair, it's quite a lovely shade of red...
:swoon:

[Athelas]

Did you see this (from the-leaky-cauldron.org)? This is from a translation of the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.

(From Emma)
And then, they’ve got some news to share.

“We’re in for the fourth movie as well.”

It’s been speculated that Daniel, Emma and Rupert were to be replaced for the fourth film, as they are going on fifteen and getting too old.

“But that won’t happen, not for this time.”

Are you in for the fifth movie?

“We’re not up to speculate on that - one movie at a time.”

“The Prisoner of Azkaban” goes up in Swedish theatres in august next year.

SHEPPERTON Leif Kasvi
(leif.kasvi@aftonbladet.se)

[Colli]

Sweet!

Thanks Athelas :)

[ChianaWeasley]

I GET TO SEE RON IN FRILLY DRESS ROBES!!!!!!
:swoon:

[Fleurdelacour]

And not forgetting the whole Yule Ball scene! :D *squeaks*

I swear... if they cut that out!!! :jawdrop:

[ChianaWeasley]

Well, that is when ron wears the frilly dress.
Besides they really hinted to Ron and Hermione already, they'll keep it in the movie. And if they dont

::shakes fist::

:p

[xKatiexBellx]

*nods* I agree... haha, I hope they show him trying to curse it off... and Mrs. Weasley's big line.. :LOL:

[glaelia]

going back to the discussion over lupin's moustache... i'm sure i read somewhere that it's been confirmed and he will have a moustache... i'll try and find the quote. But i'm as disappointed as you fleur :( When we found out who was cast as black and lupin i was worried about oldman and happy about thewlis... and now it's soooo the other way round! oldman looks fantastic, and please... whoever said that, he is british, he does have a british accent! besides the fact that the man is a master of accents! he's used a different accent in every film he's ever acted in! have any of you ever seen 'rosencrantz and goldenstein are dead' ?? fantastic film, oldman is so so funny and sexy and gormless and cute in that film, and i think his accent is perfect for sirius, home counties british, ability to annunciate properly, but with a touch of cockney.... just like the queen ;)

Thewlis on the other hand... has a horrible accent! bleugh... hmmm.... why didn't they cast rallph fiennes????

anyway... i digress... moustache... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[xKatiexBellx]

Why didn't they cast Ralph Fiennes?????

Ooooooh, I have to agree with you there... he would've done a wonderful job!

[Fleurdelacour]

Originally posted by glaelia

NOOOO!!!!! He can't have a moustache! TOM SELLECK HAS A MOUSTACHE!!! :barf: oh god... they can't... that's so... wrong... I say we storm the set and give him a shave!!

I know why Ralph Fiennes isn't playing Remus... When I went to see Phantom of The Opera at Her Majesty's Theatre on Tuesday.... I got out the taxi and saw Ralph Fiennes face on a poster (looked perfect for Remus... Remus was the first thing that popped into my head lol) across the Haymarket... He's in a play... in the theatre royal, haymarket... *cries*

[ChianaWeasley]

Tom Selleck...ew!

Well Thewlis does have a rather odd accent, but i think it may fit the Lupin character. The moustache...well lets just not talk about that ;)

[Athelas]

gormless:confused: --translation please?

Do you know how Alan Lee and John Howe were hired to give LOTR a certain 'look'? I wish the producers would hire Marta from artdungeon to do the same thing for the HP movies.

[Fleurdelacour]

Yeah Athelas, that'd be great :) I hae a special set of LotR books illustrated by Alan Lee, they're just amazing... :notworthy

I've not heard Thewlis speak... Never even seem him act... Can anyone recommned a film he is in? Might rent it out....

Let's just pretend there's no moustache, we should close our eyes on any close ups in the film, or duck behind our tubs of popcorn... Or have a mental image of Ralph Fiennes. Or, you'll be crying throughout PoA so you won't see him through your tears...

[Colli]

Try Dragonheart or the newer Island of Dr Moreau. Neither are all that great... just pick your eye candy. Dragonheart also includes one Jason Isaacs (shirtless I might add), The Island of Dr Moreau has one very hot very islandish looking shirtless Val Kilmer. :)

Thewlis has an AWFUL voice. I can't imagine him saying "You heard James?" in the same tone as my Lupin.

[lithorose]

Only watch Dragonheart if you have a strong tolerance for less-than-average movies.;)

He was also in Seven Years in Tibet and Dinotopia. Dinotopia was dreadful, but 7 yrs. was passable, in spite of Brad Pitt.

I still think he'll be okay. Not until I actually see the movie will I change my mind, if it needs it.

So, when do you all think we might get a trailer? Japan's supposed to be hyping the movie in December, so maybe then? That still seems early for a movie that isn't out till June. I can't believe it's still so far away!!

[ChianaWeasley]

I'm going to give Thewlis a chance, besides, doesn't everyone deserve a chance? :)

Well, I'm thinking we'll start seeing trailers....near the end of October. They usual hype about a month in a half before a film comes out, BUT you must remember what movie this is ;) They're going to build this up as much as they can, I'm not surprised to see a teaser fairly soon.

[Fleurdelacour]

Dinotopia was on telly around New Year, didn't bother watching it though - looked awful, and it seems it was! :p

I'll try Dragonheart out... I normally have zero tolerance on average movies... But a shirtless Jason Issacs... :D Bah, I may be tempted!

I found something regarding a trailer!

From Leaky Cauldron,

HP3 Trailer Debut Date

Thanks Beckie, for informing us that Dark Horizons says that the HP3 trailer will appear on December 5 next to Tom Cruise's The Last Samurai; (many TLC readers will remember that we reported that the trailer would debut on November 14, attached to Loony Tunes: Back in Action.) We'll find out which or if both are true (Samurai just may be another movie to which the trailer will be attached).



December... not to far away I guess... Don't fancy watching a Tom Cruise film though...

[xKatiexBellx]

oooooooooooooh! I don't wanna wait that long! I can't wait! :P why they have to take so much time on POA...

[ChianaWeasley]

:LOL: They like to keep people like us in suspense ;)

[xKatiexBellx]

:P Rumor says that GoF will be 4 hours long... I expect it'll take two years just to do the Triwizard Tournament:rolleyes:

[Pilgrim Grey]

from Dark Horizons:Harry Potter 4 will begin production in April on a budget of $130 million

[ChianaWeasley]

Yes, i was told that yesterday. But apparently they are not exactly sure what is going on. so who knows, it could change within the next month. I guess we'll just have to find an inside source....Dobby perhaps? ;)

[Ayla]

I' fear you'll have to pay Dobby for the privelage of having him as a spy..... ;)

[Colli]

Hey guys, I've got some random casting tidbits I've picked up, that you've surely known for a lot longer than me!!

Julie Christie has signed on to play Madam Rosmerta :)

and The Herald Sun (http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,7460354%5E2902,00.html) reports that Emma Thompson will be playing Trelawney.

Now I like Emma Thompson. But as TRELAWNEY??? You've got to be kidding me. I'm not liking the casting in this movie at all.

[Fleurdelacour]

Yeah I heard the Emma Thomson one too... She's... wrong as her... She's good et al, but as Trewlawny...

[ChianaWeasley]

Aw...why does Felton have to dress up like a rapper? :(

Woo-hoo! Rupert is into pool! Good ole' Rupert!

Y Tu Mama Tambien eh? wow, my sister saw that feature, apparently it is pretty raunchy. Our Daniel is growing up ;)

And kudos to emma for being taller then the boys, no only if I could grow five inches then we'd be on the same playing field:D

[lithorose]

Emma Thompson as Trelawney? Hm, certainly not someone I would've thought of, though I really like Thompson's work. I think she could be great in the role, though very different than I imagine Trelawney.

Now her sister Sophie I can imagine. (Sophie played Mrs. Bates in Emma, very funny!) :D

[ChianaWeasley]

What other films has emma Thompson been in?
I need a face with the name,lol, sad i know.
;) :p

[Colli]

Emma Thompson's been in Much Ado About Nothing, Sense and Sensibility, Love Actually (coming to you this winter!), Judas Kiss, The Winter Guest.. that I know of. What's that, 4 Alan Rickman movies already under her belt? Yeah I thought so. :p ;)

She's on the right:

Description of the PoA trailer:

http://www.countingdown.com/movies/28985/news?item_id=3248212

[Colli]

Thanks alqua! :)


The trailer looks way too teaser-ish and not enough meaty trailer though.... :(

[Fleurdelacour]

Then, it shows Snape coming out of the closet and then Lupin is behind Neville and Neville turns Snape into his grandma, the Boggart part.

Well, at least they've not cut it out! :D

Emma Thomson is on Parkinson tonight (a show I wish JKR would go on!) so watch it incase she talks about PoA! :D

Ooh Love Actually, saw a trailer for it a few mins ago Colli, I think you'll be very pleased with Alan Rickman ;)

[ChianaWeasley]

I haven't seen any trailers yet, you lucky blighters you! ;)

[alqua]

Here's a very short Emma Thompson audio file where she mentions playing Trelawney: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/sounds/ThompsononParkinson.mp3

[Colli]

Thanks alqua!

[alqua]

The trailer is here!!!

High quality (http://media.warnerbros.com/harrypotter/us/med/trailer/hp3_trl1_qt_300.mov)
Medium quality (http://media.warnerbros.com/harrypotter/us/med/trailer/hp3_trl1_qt_100.mov)

Neither of the links is working for me right now, but I assume it is only due to a momentary overload, because everyone's trying to see it right now. Let's hope someone mirrors it soon.

It's a great trailer!

[Fleurdelacour]

The trailer was on newsround! :eek: I nearly died!

The dementor's hand looks just how I imagined...

The Knight Bus looked brilliant, still looked as if it was going to fall over! :D :p (y'know what, I keep on forgetting I was on the set for that bit...)

Remus still looks like Hitler... He has that leering sneering look I despise :mad:

Snape in Mrs Longbottoms clothes - BRILLIANT! :D

Mad cackling Sirius - all I can think of is "he's a goner..." But I dont like the fact he is mad and cacking. Buy hey, I guess wizards air brush in a different way to us Muggles :p

I didn't like the choir much. The voices added a creepy element, but they didnt need to show a choir as if Hogwarts had one... OR maybe Hogwarts does, its just that Hermione, Harry and Ron don't show any musical talent, unless you count blowing on a handmade flute :p

[SiriuslyInLove]

ive seen the trailer 3 times:D (ive watched rotk's a few more times tho-lol!)


i cant wait for it! but what is it w/ Hermione's pink thingy?

EDIT-i dont have quicktime so i didnt see the on you guys saw-ive seen the one on Yahoo movies.

[Flockman The Wise]

There's more than one PoA trailer?

[alqua]

Not that I know of. It must be the same trailer in different format.

[ChianaWeasley]

Well usually when they release movie trailers there are about two-three or four different versions. No really, think about it, one version is released in the U.S. and then one is released in Europe. And THEN there is another version released in america for the movie theatre, which is always different then the one they show on television. And then they release a theatre one in europe which is different from the one they show on the telly. So it's about four different versions:p Oh the excitment

So does that mean four different trailers or the same trailer in four different languages? o.O

dont think so :confused:

Here's a bit from Jason Isaacs about GoF:
"I don't know whether they're going to put Lucius Malfoy in or not. If I thought begging would do any good, I'd be out there every day. But that would probably just irritate them."

(The full bit is on the front page.)

I just love that he feels this way about the part. That's so cool! :D

And, I might add, I absolutely adore him as Lucius. Book Lucius is just mean and nasty. Movie Lucius is mean and nasty and just so incredibly sexy! :swoon:

I think I've said it before, but ... in CoS, when he says "Now, now Draco, play nicely" I want to shout "I'll play nicely with you, Mr. Malfoy!" :o ;)

[ChianaWeasley]

Well, it is always better to have a sexy bad guy then just a regular old bad guy ;) He does pull lucius off rather nicely if
I do say so myself, and like i told my sister last time we popped CoS into the player, that I've never known a man to pull off the ponytail....except Jason Issac :o

It's been way too long since I have posted about Jason Isaacs, so I think you all can suffer yet another :swoon: for him! (It's not obvious in my avatar, is it?)
Casting for dear Mr. Isaacs was indeed perfect...and might I suggest, instead of GoF (if it does stink) we can have the promised book (made into film, of course) of Lucius's early romantic adventures?

:rotfl:

very funny! I like Jason Isaacs as Lucius! He does the part very well! I forst saw him in The Patriot and cant wait to see the new Peter Pan movie! Him as Hook should be great! :D and from what ive seen of the movie clips, he's done the portrayal very well! :D

and i agree with the whole *Book Lucuis* and *Movie Lucius* :D:swoon:;)

[Terry]

If you loved JI as Lucius, then you will REALLY love him as Hook. He was perfect, dead-sexy, and made the part his own. I just don't think I can envision another person as Hook anymore.

I do hope he's in GoF. His growing success may just get him cast into the movie.

[ChianaWeasley]

He IS captain Jas Hook

well, in my opinion anyway :)
