Ron is getting big eh?

[Elwen]

Great find, t3h Qster!

Film-Ron is indeed getting very tall... just as in the books... and I have been wondering whether this is the films imitating the books or the other way round (in this particular case) :D

Elwen

[t3h Qster]

yeah......the only glad thing I can say about that pic......all 3 look happy, and perhaps they might do number 4 after all

Good pictures! :D

Isn't Rupert Grint nearly 16 or something? :confused:

When the Knight Bus moves,it looks like it's going to topple over! I wonder if they've had any Knight Bus accidents...

Have any pictures of the blokes (I've fogotten who is playing them...) playing Remus and Sirius come through yet? I'm really anxious that they look perfect...

[Elwen]

There are pictures of most of the actors - but not yet in character.

For the actors look at imdb (http://uk.imdb.com/Title?0304141)

I think Gary Oldman is a great choice for Sirius. I could not find a picture for the guy who does Lupin (although he was in some fairly big movies).

Check out the guy who plays Pettigrew - that is such a funny choice ! :D

Elwen

[ChianaWeasley]

I'd like to see some pictures of Gary Oldman in costume, I really want to see how he turns out all done.

Wonderful how new pictures keep popping up, from whats been posted before.

Rupert is getting really tall, Im not sure on his age though. I do know Tom Felton is sixteen, exactly my age, older by only a few months. But with the others I could give you a start answer, with all the different ages posted online. And all the on and off filming, they could be 16 by now for all I know. So confusing

thats my new quest to find their ages....

I'll be back
rides away on her stallion

Chiana returns

Ok, heres the scoop,I've braved the unknown
seen things you've never dreamed of!

Well...actually i went to the Official Rupert Grint site, looked under birthdays:D

ok:
Tom Felton
September 23, 1987 (16)

Rupert Grint
August 24, 1988 (15)

Daniel Radcliffe
July 03, 1989 (14)

Emma Watson
April 15, 1990 (13)

And there you have it my friends!

:cool:

[t3h Qster]

ok go to upcomingmovies.com and you will see pics of the actors who are playing all parts in POA

[Fleurdelacour]

Ooh thanks :) Ton Felton shares a birthday with my dad!

That list is wrong those, I turned 16 in February, and it says Ton Felton's birthday is on the 23rd September 1987... Soo...

Tough year ahead for Rupert and Tom! :devil:

Gary Oldman, he's growing on me... But David Thewlis... Mmm, he doesn't look, Remus enough..... *sigh*

[ChianaWeasley]

Chiana becomes all confused with the dates

ah scratch that, Im older than Felton
:o
whoopsie

[Mirdan]

i think some of you have already seen these, but i found some more i thought i can post here:

http://www.thesnitch.co.uk/news/newpics/3.jpg
http://www.thesnitch.co.uk/news/newpics/4.jpg


EDIT
i finally found a picture of David Thewlis...Remus Lupin, anyone?

http://home.hetnet.nl/~jaczijtaart/pics/Thewlis/davidasremus1.jpg

[ChianaWeasley]

Brilliant, i havent seen any of those yet!!!
Mirdan your wonderful!:)

Haven't any of you seen Dragon Heart, of Island of Dr. Moreau(the second version) Thewlis was in them. I think he's a rather good villian, it will be interesting to see him play a good guy for once.

[Fleurdelacour]

First decent picture of Thelwis! Wow!

Still doesn't look Remus enough.... No matter what angle I look at him from....

Those houses... They're so un-Dursleyish. First time buyers wanting a house in the suburbs buy those houses... They're the new ones Barrats Homes have very recently made... Very odd....

[ChianaWeasley]

I'd hate to live in a block full of houses looking exactly the same, I'd forget which house was mine. I'd come home after school, knocking on my neighbors door, just to see if it was the right house:D

[Fleurdelacour]

lol! I live in a terraced house, so they're all the same, ish over the lat 70 years they've kinda changed ;) but JKR said the house the Dursleys live in were 1930s style... Which is worrying as my house was built in the 1930s! :eek: Not Dursleyish on the inside thank god....

I've just found a site, and I was supporting Ralph Fiennes to play Sirius, but after finding this site, I wish he had played Remus! :(

http://straykitty.com/deargirl/potter/shrines/RemusPic2.jpg

:jawdrop:

EXACTLY how I imagine him, exept his eyes are smaller then the way I imagine him... But still....

Moderator's note: Sorry FleurD, but I had to remove the link because that webpage linked to several +PG fan fictions.

[ChianaWeasley]

maybe its the hair?
:)

I still pictured someone who looks more worn, I really think Thewlis can pull the part off well

DO YOU WANT ME TO CUT IT OFF!!!??
No, I don't think that would've worked IMO...

:D

EDIT: Yay! 100 posts! *celebrates*

[Mirdan]

i didn't know this, but comingsoon.net (http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/h/harrypotter3.php) has PoA set to be released on June 4, 2004...almost a year from now!

and there's no Cho Chang either :p

i've never seen this, but here's Michael Gambon as Dumbledore:
http://comingsoon.net/nextraimages/dumbledore1.jpg


EDIT
any of you seen this before?! i haven't! have a look at the Dementoids!
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid69/p14b9a5e7d49ded34cb23a1d1424f73d8/fbb91f3c.jpg

i can't help it...they look like the WiKi's cousins...once removed on his mother's side :p

[Pilgrim Grey]

Ain't it cool news has a picture of what could be the Dementors from POA. They look pretty good, but you really shouldn't be able to see the faces (although if this is real it's probably not from the movie) and their skin doesn't look scabby enough. And the "eyes" look too much like eyes... that said, this probably is fake, because the second Dementor look an awful lot like a Ringwraith from FOTR...

Anyway, here it is (originally from the snitch.co.uk, found on AICN)
http://www.thesnitch.co.uk/galleries/POA/Movie%20Images//Possible%20first%20look%20at%20dementors.jpg

[Mirdan]

:LOL: well check out what the guys at TORn (http://www.theonering.net/scrapbook/view/7105) found about these so-called Dementors:

http://img-nex.theonering.net/images/scrapbook/7105.jpg

A supposed authentic report featured the image on the left claiming to be Dementors from the latest Harry Potter films. A little digging brings up the image of the Nazgul on the right...notice the similarities? This is a false image, 'Photoshopped' is the term.
i don't even know whether to breath a sigh of relief or what! :LOL:

[Pilgrim Grey]

Yeah, I kinda knew that the pic was fake (it looked WAY too much like a Nazgul to be a coincidence) but I thought I'd post it anyway... and you have to wonder who would bother making a picture like this and pretending it's the real thing? Don't people have anything better to do with their time :confused: :(

[Colli]

Actually, I saw that Dementor picture when it first surfaced on one of the Harry Potter fansites, and it came WITH a disclaimer that it was fan art. :)

[ChianaWeasley]

Warner Brothers is going to have a hard time making the dementors look realistic to what we see them as, and completely different from wraiths at the same time

Very trickseyy it isss

;)

[glaelia]

a present for you.............


[Colli's note: link removed]

[Mirdan]

so, that's how Gary Oldman as Sirius Black looks like? i always thought Sirius would be...well...taller, darker-haired, and really gaunt (actually i thought Daniel Day Lewis would've been a great Sirius Black...) but then again, it could just be the light conditions and that Gary Oldman/Sirius Black is smiling in this Muggle picture, which almost makes him look...normal. and healthy :D

is Rupert Grint wearing a Weasley jumper!? it's maroon! and it looks small on him too.

anyways, back to Gary Oldman. so Sirius Black has tattoos, eh? well! that just goes to show that Sirius Black really was Stubby Boardman! rock 'n roll lifestyle! :cool:

[Pilgrim Grey]

THAT'S Sirius?! Not at all what I imagined! But then, I don't really have a good imagination...

And who are those two girls?

[StarGazr]

Oh.. wow... that's Sirius.. hmmm totally NOT what I pictured... like at ALL... hmmm... gonna have to think on this one

[Kristin]

A word of advice: Don't judge based on this picture. Apparently, that is why Warner Bros. objects to it -- because people are making judgments when they don't know how the finished product will look.

I mean, you can judge ... just don't take it too seriously, don't get all freaked out. I agree that Gary Oldman looks wrong. I hope that it ends up looking OK, though.

[StarGazr]

OK, I found this in a journal entry on LiveJournal (no links to that I know) and I thought it might be a little Sunday afternoon present. (Trout me if I do something wrong, Colli;))

http://www.geocities.com/stargazr1152/HarryHermione.txt

I must say... I think these kids are totally adorable... I mean... so cute! I'm totally in love with this picture!!

[Colli]

Is it just me or does that not really look like a picture from Harry Potter? I mean, the street clothes, the cute little belt Emma has on.

They COULD be rehearsing, but the pic looks professional. And if they were rehearsing, why would Daniel have his Harry glasses on? It doesn't add up.

And why does that look like water behind them? Or is it just fog?

[Faid]

It looks like cobwebs are behind them to me.

Plus the normal clothes are rather weird to see on them since I don't recall ever seeing Hermione wearing anything but Hogwarts garb. Perhaps that scene takes place before they go to Hogwarts?

Oh and Harry's clothes look designer... whereas there is no way the Dursely's would buy that for him.

[StarGazr]

The more and more you think about it... and everyone knows I have... I think it's a rehersal picture. There are two other pics that go with that one... and it went with an article about the kids working on the set... I will have to dig that up and post it too :D It's probably just a rehersal pic... unless... unless they've changed something and the kids don't wear their robes to Hogsmeade... they wear street clothes or something... I'm thinking way to deeply into this!

[glaelia]

the theory is that thats a pic from the film just after the shrieking shack scenes. Ie, when harry and hermione are hiding in the forest with the time turner, waiting for their oppotunity to save sirius! the idea being, harry's protecting hermione from lupin as he runs into the forest in wolf form... remember your books! :p

anyway, the reasoning behind them being in street clothes? again, remember your books! harry, hermione and ron had finished school by the time of the shrieking shack scenes, it was the end of term, ie they probably wouldn't be in robes anymore. remember in the first movie? the scenes at the end? The chess set? all the kids were in street clothes cos school term was over!


[/my two cents worth]

[xKatiexBellx]

lol, really, to ne, that pic looks like Emma and Dan were out on a date then scared half to death...

[Colli]

Welcome to the Muggle Informer, Faid!!!

But Faid's right, glae, why on earth would Harry be wearing clothes that nice?

[glaelia]

*shrugs* he had decent clothes on at the end of PS and COS... he only had baggy clothes on at the beginning of PS... if you're going to be picky, i've always wondered why ron was wearing a barbour coat on the hogwarts express in PS... teheheh, they cost about £200... i should know, i have one... not something the weasleys would wear, right? though i can see where they were coming from with that, cos most people who live/work in the countryside in this country own barbours, cos they're wax jackets and they keep <i>everything</i> out! even the Queen owns one! but thats my point really... they're expensive... the Weasleys wouldn't own one *nods*


they need a better costume designer who knows these things *nods* like me!!


;)

[Colli]

I don't know, something about that picture doesn't add up.


Anyway, look what I found!

http://www.mugglenet.com/images/gambonasdd.jpg

One Michael Gambon as Dumbledore, at your service!

[glaelia]

hehehe, well done! i saw that earlier on! its great isn't it... i'd have preferred richard harris of course, but i think michael gambon will do the role justice!


glae

xx

[Fleurdelacour]

Ooh he looks good, better then I thought.

Emma is wearing something my littl esister would wear... and they're the same age...

[xKatiexBellx]

they need a better costume designer who knows these things *nods* like me!!

All in favour for Glae as the new costume designer, raise your hands
:wave: :wave:

I agree, they need to read the books and get a better idea of what they would wear...

I hope Michael Gambon does an O.K. Dumbledore, hopefully better than the first...

[Drizella]

Maybe Harry bought himself some nice clothes at Diagon Alley? I'm not sure what kind of 'normal' clothes wizards wear, but he can certainly afford clothes that would fit him with his inherited gold. His watch broke during the second task in GoF and he has a new watch in OotP that he must have bought for himself somewhere, certainly not with Muggle money.

Just a thought :)

I do love the picture, though. It's my computer wallpaper.

[xKatiexBellx]

good point... maybe Hermione and Ron could've gone to that clothes store in Hogsmead and gotten him some nice clothes

[glaelia]

ooooooooooooooh! look what i found!!!

AND THESE ARE OFFICIAL! found them on the leaky-cauldron!!

[Cedric]

Now, this is just a suggestion, but I think it would be a lot easier for everyone if we just posted everything (pictures, news, whatever) in one thread. We're getting a lot of overlapping going on, where someone posts something in the news thread, then someone posts it here. Or someone posts it here, then someone posts it in the news thread.

So what do you think. Should we all go to one thread, stay in the two, or should I make a new thread that's for everything?

:jawdrop: :notworthy omg, those are brilliant! Sirius black looks much better than I thought, but is David Thewlis Remus Lupin?! In that pic that looks nothing to me like the Remus Lupin I know of...

the Shrieking Shack looks great too :clap:

[Amberion]

I think two is ok

But just make this one for pictures and commentary on them

The other thread is for news

[Colli]

I agree, Amberion. I think this is working fine. :)

Whatever you do, don't start a new thread for something we already have!!

I'm going to cry... what on earth does Cuaron think he's doing?

I do like the shack though. But nothing else is right.

sirius looks so much better there than in the other picture

lupin looks a bit dodgy

but overall it looks really exciting, i dont know if its just cause its one of the best bit in the books , but it has made me really really look forward to the film coming out :D

[Cedric]

Okay, that's cool with me.

Ya ever have a picture taken of you at just the wrong time? And you've got that weird expression on your face? I think that's all it is... He'll look better while in motion.

-Cedric

[Colli]

No.. look at his hair! It's all wrong! Plus, I've seen him in movies before, and his accent just isn't right. I don't have problems adjusting to the British accents in the movies, but his voice isn't right. At all.

:cries:

I'm warming up to Gary Oldman though :)

[Zyrustafer]

Noooooooooo!!! They all look wrong! Waaaah!:( :( Sirius doesn't look like that, he's younger, and looks less like a tramp. And Lupin....*shudder* the hair... yike. I wonder if I should even watch it...? *sigh*

[xKatiexBellx]

Welcome to the Muggle Informer Zyrustafter!:wave: :)

[Elwen]

Well, I don't know... I never imagined Lupin like this, but I think I get the point - this must be Lupin trying to look as respectrable and 'normal' (if you know what I mean) as he possibly can.

(tweed jacket, tie.... seems that they are going for more mugglish clothes this time round).

Black looks completely wild but perhaps we see him clean up a bit as he settles down for a few short months in OotP (if that gets made).

Elwen

[Cedric]

Don't worry so much! Please. Understand, pictures are, no matter what anyone says, very much worthless when it comes to telling what a person will look at act like. They capture one moment in time, for all we know, he could have just been thrown onto the ground, messing up his hair, and giving him a weird look on his face.

Or he could just suck. Movies aren't always great, we have to realize that before we get too disappointed.

Oh, and
http://mindscraps.com/s/otn/party/party.gifwelcome Zyrustafer!!!http://mindscraps.com/s/otn/party/party.gif

Hope that makes Rc proud ;)

-Cedric

[Fleurdelacour]

:jawdrop: MY REMUS!!!! noo!! thats NOT how he looks! he looks wrong *cries* But I swear to God, if they leave out Sirius and Remus 'embracing' I will throw a tantrum...

He doesn't look friendly enough... His hair isn't long enough, and it says he has LIGHT brown, greying hair... I just hope it's the light... He looks kinda twitchy too...

I like Oldman's expression, he looks desperate to get his hands on Scabbers, that's a good thing I guess...

Hermione looks like she's got lockjaw! ;)

Ralph Fiennes would have been better, as either Remus or Sirius...

[LuthienElentari]

Even though they are going to change cast. I think it will be hard for them to do the ron/hermione thing because Daniel and Emma have more chemistry then Rupert which I think would be hard to make it work. But, maybe if they cahnge the cast the new Hermione might have better chemistry with the new Ron. I hear that Mike Newel (or however you spell his his name) wants to do the fourth movie.

Hugs


Luthien

Ps. Lupin looks like crud

[Mirdan]

http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/images/2003/07/shack.jpg
:LOL: i have the same exact jacket that Daniel Radcliffe's wearing in these scenes! :LOL:

but Lupin looks....a little too healthy, i think. isn't he suppose to look a little peaky?

[Monkfish]

With regards to the picture at the top of this page:

It is a scene from the film and not a rehersal because if you look at the photos of Harry with his trunk just before getting on the knight bus on the first page of this thread you can see he is clearly wearing the same clothes.

(They may be designer, but they appear to be all he has got!):D

[Colli]

But they're supposed to be hand-me-downs from Dudley, right? Dudley would never WEAR that, much less FIT in it. :confused:

Monkfish, well spotted! :)

[PhineasNigellus]

Some new pictures appeared in a London paper today (evening standard). However i do not have a scanner to up load them but i will say what they showed.

1. A big pic of hermione (wearing "trendy" clothes with her wand pointed at malfoy who has his back up against a tree flanked by Crabbe and Goyle. I do have a bad memory but i really do not remember that scene happening in the books.


2. ...the other pictures were small and not that interesting to honest.

Although i did get that gist from the accompanying artcile that uniforms would not be worn at hogwarts in PoA...

and i forgot! it also says Dimbledore will be played as a bit of a hippy..!?!

[StarGazr]

Heh... maybe it's his jacket... I think I have one like it in my closet ;) j/k

[lithorose]

My sis saw those pics last night and she said Daniel looked 'girly'.:rolleyes: Well-groomed and slightly stylish is *not* girly.

Anyway, I think they're all great looking, even Sirius. Oldman may be different than I imagined, but he's every bit as grungy and I think it will work well on film.:D

Only strange thing is about the first picture, Hermione looks way too passive. That's not the Hermione we know from the books.

I used to have a belt like hers when I was a kid. It had a Rainbow Brite buckle.:D

edit: About uniforms: There is a picture floating around with Draco, Crabbe and Goyle wearing the uniforms from PoA, which have been changed some from the previous movies. I'll see if I can't find it. Also have seen one of the new Hogwart's Express.

edit again:
Are these (http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2003350441,00.html) the pics you were talking about? I LOVE the set on that shot with McGonagall!

[lithorose]

Simul-post with Monkfish!:D

Okay, found the pictures of the uniforms:
PoA uniforms (http://www.geocities.com/lithorose/uniforms.txt)

and for comparison:
CoS uniforms (http://www.geocities.com/lithorose/uniforms2.txt)

Though from those new pictures, perhaps they only dress up for certain occasions? Come to think of it, all the pictures of the students out of uniform are all outside of Hogwarts anyway. Perhaps the one with McGonagall is them preparing to go to Hogsmeade?

[PhineasNigellus]

Yeah those are the ones...I only bought that paper because they said exclusive!!! *Phineas looks infuriated and:trout: The evening Standard

(i feel so proud i have trouted my first victim)

[Cedric]

Didn't any of you guys read the captions on those pics before? One of them said that the new director is letting the kids wear some of their own cloths. That's why they look so "hip". This just might be a sign of other things the new director leaves out/adds.

-Cedric

[Colli]

I noticed that, Cedric.

That's why I'm fuming right now. :mad:

think you this is the scene where Hermione was suppose to slap Draco? i sure hope not. but then again, the kid on Draco's right hand side doesn't look like Crabbe (or was it Goyle? i can never tell the difference between those two!)

Though from those new pictures, perhaps they only dress up for certain occasions? Come to think of it, all the pictures of the students out of uniform are all outside of Hogwarts anyway. Perhaps the one with McGonagall is them preparing to go to Hogsmeade?
maybe the students only dress in their uniforms when school is in session, but they get to wear whatever they want after school's out and/or during Hogsmeade weekends and such. and that's probably why Draco's hair isn't sleek in these pictures ;)

i actually like how the kids get to wear contemporary clothes. i'd rather see that than have Harry, Ron, and Hermione run around the Shrieking Shack in their uniforms. i think it works very well, since that incident in the Shrieking Shack happened after exams...didn't it? i'd expect the students would change out of their uniforms as soon as they're done with school work. besides, their clothes reflect the younger generation that Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the rest of the kids belong to.

by the way, the only difference that i've spotted with the uniforms in PoA is that the ties look different from the ones in CoS. is that it, or are there other differences that i've missed?! :o

[Fleurdelacour]

He said that did he Cedric?! :mad: OH GOD! Those kids are rich, they're going to have rich clothes! Hermione doesn't wear rainbow belts and jeans, she's Hermione Granger - the brains, and the-I-have-pmt-in-this-book-so- I-will-walk-out-on-Trewlawny-and-slap-Draco. :mad:

It says in PoA that Hermione clutches her robes when Pettigrew is begging her to save his life. they're wearing their uniforms... and if my mental image of the shrieking shack scenes are ruined (which are perfect... best scenes on the entire series!) then... oh god... :mad:

From The Sun
Our amazing stills from the movie show Harry and pals Hermione and Ron adopting a different look as new director Alfonso Cuaron boots out the blazers for a more casual style.

HOGWARTS DOESNT DO CASUAL!!! :mad: in fact, what school in britian does casual?!

Gah!!!

Oh my god!! The Slytherin ties! they - they are identicle to my old secondary school ties!! *breathes* this is all wrong...

Oh another thing, I was reading a tonne of newspapers the other day, and they all had pics from the movie in it, but in one of them, it said PoA was coming out in late autumn... are they confused? or has the date been changed... i mean late autumn.... honestly...

[Colli]

Ah, I knew I wouldn't be the only one freaking out. :)

HOGWARTS DOESNT DO CASUAL!!! in fact, what school in britian does casual?!
EXACTLY my thoughts!!!!!!!

My mental images of the Shrieking Shack already are ruined, I mean come on, look at David Thewlis!

[Fleurdelacour]

I'm so glad someone shares my sentiments! And the uniforms were wrong in the first place! They wore robes, not the grey primary school uniforms... every school I can think of has maroon, navy, green, brown and blue uniforms, none of them have grey uniforms unless you count those on soaps... Pah....

Don't even get me started on HIM... Honestly.. that picture... he looked threatening, Remus is never threating, only when he wanted to kill Wormtail, but I'm sure, after what he did... Anyone would want to kill him... Well, apart from Harry...

Thewlis never looked right in the first place, he was meant to be the "I'm a werewolf in need of a hug!" bloke... not that...

Must stop ranting... My favourite book of all time could be ruined.... *whimpers*

[Drizella]

Breathe Fleur!

I don't think PoA is coming out in late autumn. In the Newsweek article that recently came out, it clearly states that the release date will be June 4, 2004.

The Newsweek article also states that Cuaron only plans on directing PoA and nothing beyond that. So if you're not happy with some of his changes, you may be relieved to hear that. Chris Columbus is also signed on as producer, 'and he makes no bones about the fact that he's doing it to ''protect'' the Potter world he adores.' Preserving the tradition of wearing uniforms at Hogwarts must certainly be important to Columbus, and Rowling for that matter.

But as for outside school or on the weekends, I don't think it matters if the kids wear uniforms or not. It does not affect the plot whatsoever, nor does it change anything about the characters thmeselves. In the CoS film, Harry and Ron aren't wearing uniforms when they go to 'follow the spiders' and I thought they looked rather cute, especially Harry's zip-up hoodie. :)

I personally think the PoA uniforms look, er, uniformy enough for me. I'm really excited for the new director as well, as he really seems to get the psychological aspects of the story. Newsweek again: 'Cuaron's design team promises that the movie's palette will reflect the gathering darkness.' Based on what I've gathered from this particular article, I'm glad he's taking a dark approach and really developing the emotional side of the story and not just playing up the angst and action.

EDIT: HOGWARTS DOESNT DO CASUAL!!!
I know... I still want them to look their poshiest best too. :(

[Fleurdelacour]

Right, I'm breathing ;)

I didn't like Coloumbas, he was worse *shudders* but I really wont start ranting about him, my fingers are killing me ;)

you sure are optimistic Drizella!

[Drizella]

Eh. I just have faith that y'all will end up loving it. When you're optimistic things work to your favor, you know! :)

What we need is a new, clearer picture of our Lupin. And a trailer!!

[Cedric]

I don't see that happening Driz, fans always pick apart movies like this.

The one thing you guys have to remember is that this isn't the true vision of the book. The book can still be the best, it can still be the wonderful story that it always was. Don't let this idiot change your mind about that. Just because he gets things wrong doesn't mean you have to give in to his view of it, keep your own.

This is gonna be like a batman movie, different directors for almost every one of them... We're sure to get some strange adaptations.

-Cedric

[ChianaWeasley]

Well, Hogwarts does do casual, but it was more geared towards Weasley sweaters and jeans. And t-shirts underneath the cloak. But the picture of Hermione is definatley not what I imagined. The top picture that Monk posted of them leaving for Hogsmeade, what Ron's wearing is what I imagined.

Oh and they do casual, in SS their wearing day clothes. And hermione's outfit in that was much better. More Hermioneish.
Ron looks just right though, nice and tall, and red haired :D

[Drizella]

Definitely agreed. :) Don't let the movie adaptation change your mind about anything you love about the story.

And I do enjoy a little nitpicking from time to time! :p

EDIT: Oh, before the day's over... a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Harry Potter, who turns a ripe 23 today! (if you want to get really technical...) :rolleyes: :cool:

[ChianaWeasley]

covers her ears

NO!!! He isn't 23, he cant be!!!
That means Im a youngun compared to him!!!
And that means Ron is 23 as well!!!
It cannot be true!!!
:swoon:
ok, just pretend that was a faint of surprise
;)

[Fleurdelacour]

Ahh... Ron..... :swoon: Ron AND Remus... even better....

Hopefully it wont change, Harry's voice in my head has changed to Daniel Radcliffes...

yeah, it was more Hermioneish, lol, not rainbow belts... gah...

[ChianaWeasley]

Like I said in the trouting thread, Hermione doesn't do rainbow!

But I rather like Harry and Ron's casual wear.
Why is it that the Weasley wear can make a girl melt?
Must be the maroon Weasley sweater...
the red hair helps too:p

And they are calming Hermione's wild hair too early!
It's never quite bushy enough, and now they start to push the growing out smoother thing.

But on a side note, I must say I really like the picture of Harry holding Hermione in the beginning of the thread. Captures the mood of the dementor scene PERFECTLY :D

[Fleurdelacour]

Ahhh... Weasley boys (bar Percy...) :swoon: Rupert as Ron seems like the only good things left in this film!

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

I just thought of a caption for this picture... :LOL:

Ah... The Dementors... I forgot about them.. And Beaky...

[glaelia]

*coughs* Um, fleur? my school uniform was exatly what the kids wore in the first two movies! grey pleated skirt, white shirt and grey jumper, i even had grey socks for gods sake... but i did have a green and gold striped tie... to urm, tart it up a bit!

lol, who said that bout the rainbow belt? I had a rainbow brite rainbow belt too! it must have been hip in the eighties.... lol *giggles*


I have to poke elfea and get some pics from our trip to watch the knight bus filming cos we took some fabboclose up pics of the bus and its interior... must talk to elfea...

ps, if she reads this, yes you got the part you big tit! now create the lj :p

[ChianaWeasley]

I really dont like the rainbow belt.
And I have nothing against Rainbow Brite,trust me
But it just isn't Hermione

Ron really is the best part of the movie

[Colli]

Dumbledore looks really different without his purple robes, too....

FleurD, he looks like he's directing a song with his fingers. :D

I agree with you Drizella. I didn't like the fact that in the first two films there was more action and suspense then emotion. You couldn't tell what they were feeling and what struggles they personally were going through. When I saw COS's deleted scenes you could kinda get a picture about what Harry was going through. But in the actual movie there was noting that hinted that Harry was going through this hard time trying to figure out if he was really the heir of slytherin. Thats just my feeling:D

Hugs
Luthien

[Faid]

If Malfoy being played by a different actor or what? He looks completely different... like unfortunate pop star Aaron Carter:

http://www.posternow.com/photos/imagem/c/c10617.jpg

[Colli]

Faid, it's still Tom Felton, the same actor.

But you're right about the hair! I KNEW I didn't like it for a reason!

[Fleurdelacour]

Well glae, you're the first person I've ever met who actually had a grey unifrom! My Primary school tie was green and gold...

Well... At least the Knight Bus was realistic... Even if it was so thin that it wobbled when it went round corners...

I hope Daniel Radcliffe is good with the Dementors...

Amb raises his hand

"Please ms FleurD, but I had grey Uniform in high school":)

[ChianaWeasley]

Well the only thing I can say about Malfoy's hair is that he must have run about a bit, and his hair got all mussed up. Or maybe they're letting it grow, i think it'd be a nice change. Draco would probably let his grow out too

[Cedric]

Some interesting things I found at the LC.

This picture (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/images/2003/08/PoAHiResCuaronWatson.jpg), they say, shows "Hermione" wearing the necklace that holds the time turner... The thing must be tiny. Never seen this (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/MTarchives/dprophet.html) picture (think it might be a close-up or something). It's a picture of the Prophet, says something about Egypt. The third (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/MTarchives/wantedposter.html) one is a pic of a green screen that'll be turned into a moving wizard later on. The caption says "Have you seen this wizard?".

Thanks to the Cauldron.

-Cedric

[ChianaWeasley]

Well I geuss the time turner had to be very tiny in order to keep out of the sight of Ron and Harry. They never noticed, so it must have been small

[Colli]

The official site (http://harrypotter.warnerbros.co.uk/web/dailyprophet/article.jsp?id=POA_photos) has 3 (Hermione threatening Malfoy, Harry and the knight bus, and McGonagall) of the new pictures up.... and they're dubbed "POA Photos"... so it's the real deal. CRUD.

[Fleurdelacour]

Well, you're the second then Amb ;)

Oh god... aagghg... there goes hopes of rehursal pics *sigh* :( Everytime I look at Hermione, I'll think of my little sister...

[Drizella]

I was quite shocked that they would put Hermione in that pink outfit, too. It doesn't seem to be very Hermione-ish. Then again, it doesn't say one way or the other anything about Hermione's fashion taste in the books...

I really liked her sweaters and knee-socks from the PS/SS film.

[glaelia]

i never noticed that before and i've looked at that pic soooo many times now!!

w00t! look closely! its the picture of the weasleys on holiday in egypt! cool!!

:) It's worth noting that the first two aren't official, they're fan compositions.

Thanks for sharing, monkfish!

[Fleurdelacour]

Thanks for them Monkfish :)

I'm getting an awful stag of annoyance everytime I see that bloody outfit Emma Watson wears.... :rolleyes:

[ChianaWeasley]

Blast that pink coat and rainbow belt!!!
Nothing against either of them any other instance, but it just isn't Hermione!

And the one with all three of them in one shot.
:swoon:
Ron...maroon just does it for me i think :o

[Drizella]

Thanks for sharing those Monkfish. I was wondering where Harry's glasses were in that first poster, but since I know it's a fan composition I don't have to worry!

I simply love that shot of all three of them peeking around the corner. They just *look* like their characters. Except that pink cardigan.

But I can't help but smile a bit at everyone's reaction to the pink cardigan. It will be the death of us! :p

Chiana--yes, I think maroon is Ron's color! :D

[ChianaWeasley]

Honey, marron should be every man's color :D

That pink getup is ridiculous!!!
I mean honestly, it would confuse the hell out of a boggart
;)

[xKatiexBellx]

Here is a pic of Dementors and a Patronus:
http://www.mugglenet.com/images/dementors1.jpg

I think the patronus is superb... but the Demntors don't show their faces!! Not when they aren't doing the kiss!:mad:

Oh well, must be because of the Nazguls in LOTR

[Drizella]

:eek: Oh wow.

How freaky are those dementors!? :eek:

The patronus looks just as I imagined. Maybe the dementors' faces are visable from the light reflecting off of it?

But really, if their faces didn't show, they'd look a little too Ringwraithy. They're terrifying nonetheless. If this film is done right, it will be rated PG-13 in the States!

Thanks for that Katie!

[lithorose]

Actually, it's another fan-construct.;) But the patronus is looking pretty good!

If you look closely, the dementors are a collage of Ringwraiths and shots from The Mummy.

[Pilgrim Grey]

Um, no offence or anything, but it does say on the pic that it's fan-made...

[Xyla]

Well there is someone's name watermarked into the bottom right, and that Ringwraith D'I mean DEMENTOR on the right looks very familiar.... ;)

It's the same ringwraith used in the other fanart thing, speaking of which, a Singaporean magazine that Nilmandra sent me actually has that original fanart of the dementors, but is passing it off as an official pic from the movie!!! :confused:

I think that comparison made by the TORN people clearly shows that the dementor on the right is a direct photoshop paste of one of the ringwraiths off the LOTR art.

[Drizella]

Yeah, I kind of didn't read that part. :o And they do look artsy. But I haven't seen much fan art really, so it's not something I automatically suspect when I see a picture that is in the PoA pictures thread. :)

[xKatiexBellx]

hahaha, didnt notice:o

that is a good patronus though, they'd better have somthing like that! It's better than I thought it would be... Those can't be shots from the mummy... in the Mummy they look more... I dunno... their mouths dont look like overlarge, flesh-coloured, scabbed doughnuts... just my opinion, I kinda hope they do have something that looks like a Nazgul though... their faces arent meant to be shown

[Yonah]

No, even though the Patronus isn't real, (fanart), it just looks to me like a lawn rudoplh- you know, one of the ones that decorate seemingly every single lawn at Christmas?

[Drizella]

Welcome, Yonah! :)

And yeah, now that you mention it, that would be my only negative comment on the Patronus. I think the shape and the color of the stag in the fanart are accurate, it's just a bit too solid. To me a Patronus should be blurrier around the edges and more ghostly in appearance.

Lawn Rudolph. :p

[Colli]

Welcome to the Muggle Informer, Yonah!

I'm the moderator here (in Movie Disc), so if you ever need a thing just ask. :)

But some of the mummies (I can't remember which ones, it's been so long since I've seen it) did this weird roaring thing where their mouths opened up really wide. I think that's what the artist used.

And this is kinda irrelevant, seeing as how the picture doesn't show up anymore :p

[xKatiexBellx]

Well, they went down longer, but I'm not sure they were stretched outward that far... the mouths there look too short and wide to be frm the mummy

[ChianaWeasley]

I imagined the patronus to be more...wispy
I know that isn't the real thing, and I'm kind of glad.
I don't want all of the movie to be spoiled :p

[xKatiexBellx]

you dont want all of the movie to be spoiled?:LOL:

Are the pictures of Hermione threatening Draco, and the shreiking shack, etc. Fan-made too then?

[Colli]

Nope, they're on the official site. The pink hoodie is for real, dears. :(

[xKatiexBellx]

thats really too bad too, but I was trying to make a point to Chiana...

'I don't want all of the movie to be spoiled' pfft! haha! we've got like all the pictures they've ever taken for POA on these boards... and you've posted in all the ones that have pictures from POA from what i can remember.:rolleyes:

[ChianaWeasley]

Curiosity killed the cat, and i just happen to be in relation to that particular cat ;)

Someone told me that there will be robes on over their day clothes, i hope that is true and not just a rumor
:p

[Drizella]

True, Chiana! Yes, they're definitely wearing robes. I read a report from the set over at the Leaky Cauldron. Robes are in. I'm 99.9% sure they didn't take robes out. The only scenes we've seen them without robes take place either after the end of term or on weekends (presuming).

I was never under the impression that they had completely done away with the uniforms. Just relaxed a bit on when they wear them. They do wear casual clothes in the first two films remember!

[ChianaWeasley]

Well i hoped maybe that meant they had decided to wear robes in those scenes as well. I have NO complaints with anyone elses wardrobe, other then hers. I just wish they wore robes, maybe they have casual robes....???...nah

oh well, at least they will be wearing robes when they should be, so I shouldn't complain

[lithorose]

Cute owl!!

But I thought Pig didn't show up until book 4?

[Pilgrim Grey]

Nup, Sirius lets Ron keep him at the end of POA, because he doesn't have Scabbers anymore

[Fleurdelacour]

Well, at least there's ONE good thing about PoA... :rolleyes:

Oh look at the weeny owl! Isn't he cute? ;)

[alqua]

I'm afraid that picture of Snape in a dress, as hilarious as it is, is fake. Someone's been doing a pretty good job, though. :D

[Snapdragon]

Interesting pics, Monkfish:)

Is the third one a gnome from the Weaseleys' garden?:confused:

And the last one..where is that? The Shrieking Shack?

As for Snape, I had hoped for a tall hat with an enormous stuffed vulture on top :D so I hope the pic is a fake!

[Fleurdelacour]

I cannot WAIT for the Boggart scene :D

It doesnt look like the Shreiking Shack.... It looks like the interior of a hall or something, but outside...

Here's the french cover for OotP, isn't it just awful?

http://www.mugglenet.com/images/frenchcover.jpg

[alqua]

That Shrieking Shack, if that's what it is, looks like something they might have stolen from the sets of LotR. :D

That cover looks very plain.

[stridersghirl]

i had forgotten all about that Snape boggart scene, probably was too busy thinking how hilarious the map talking to him is going to be to remember the boggart.

That picture is great, hopefully the real one will be even better :D

[xKatiexBellx]

Why is it the french covers have to look so painfully awful?!

[Monkfish]

Supposedly the last one is of "The Gatehouse".

BTW, the Snape picture..............is it fake?

[Colli]

Yeah, it's fake. There are telltale lines everywhere. :)

[ChianaWeasley]

oh! I was going to shout out "Thats bloody brilliant!"

But when you said it's a fake and I looked at it again, you're right. Well, i really hope they keep Snape in the boggart scene for the true deal. That would be bloody marvelous!

[Ayla]

Aye! Snape will be stunning in a dress with a stuffed vulture on top of his hat. :rotfl:

Great pics!!!

Pig is lovely !!

[owl]

Wow!How can the french do that to the readers of the books?:jawdrop:

[Fleurdelacour]

Well... Paris was once centre of the art world, maybe their trying to steal back the crown from London by giving Hermione freaky lips and Ron lockjaw...

[ChianaWeasley]

Why is it that ron reminds me of Clark Kent aka superman, with the big stubbed chin? No me gusto!

[lithorose]

Well... Paris was once centre of the art world, maybe their trying to steal back the crown from London by giving Hermione freaky lips and Ron lockjaw... or maybe they're trying to show their disdain of a mere 'pop' phenomenon.:D:p



(honestly though I don't think it looks that bad...)

[Colli]

I'm so sorry for not posting recently, you guys. It's crazy here (at school)...

Here's a new picture. At least I think it's new. It's been so long since I've spent much time at the MI, I honestly can't remember!!!!

http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/imagedata/0,1658,291288,00.jpg

[Fleurdelacour]

I've actualy just realised what that picture is actually of... Ron, Hermione and Harry emerging from the Shreiking Shack when Buckbeak is going to be 'executed'... Or was that obvious already? Yeah, it was posted before...

The Parisians are trying to steal back the art centre crown, it was on a art documantry the other day! :p

[ChianaWeasley]

It couldn't have been them sneaking out when 'Bucky' was going to be executed, it was nighttime in the book. and in the photograph it's daytime, and they're not in their robes. So it has to be when they're in Hogsmeade.

Oh...I love the color maroon :o

[Fleurdelacour]

Buckbeak was going to be executed at sunset. Nightfall only came when they all left the Shrieking Shack...

[lithorose]

I don't think it's them leaving the Shrieking Shack, since that was after dark and they came back through the tunnel (That reminds me, I can't wait to see Snape's head bumping against the ceiling on the way out.:D). Nor is it Hogsmeade, since there's no sign of the invisibility cloak.

I think it's them leaving Hagrid's after just finding Scabbers. It was twilight in the book, and the door looks kinda like Hagrid's hut. Plus the doorknob is really high.

[Fleurdelacour]

I'm such an eegit... I meant Hagrid's hut... :o but typed Shreiking Shack, hey its my favourite scene in the entire books, its engraved in my mind :p

[owl]

All of these pics are soooooo cool:cool: :cool:

[Fleurdelacour]

*pants* UNIFORMS!! :D

http://www.mugglenet.com/images/newpoa3.jpg

They're in uniform! They look like scruffy lads from a school near college! :LOL:

http://www.mugglenet.com/images/newpoa2.jpg


http://www.mugglenet.com/images/newpoa1.jpg

But small, but... They'll do! Second one looks like Shrieking Shack, although Ron doesnt look like he's in much pain regarding his leg...

[ChianaWeasley]

Gosh...Ron looks good in half uniform...the mirror of Erised was right so far ;)

In regards to the shrieking shack, well it looks good, pretty much how I pictured it. Well, actually to give you an idea of how i pictured it, think of disney's Peter Pan, after the bomb goes off....yep thats it :D

[Xyla]

At least Harry's hair's looking kinda messy...

That was my main pet peeve about the first two films

HARRYS HAIR WANSN'T MESSY!



But I guess that as he gets older, he becomes more self consious but still:rolleyes: Daniel Radcliffe would be more convincing as Harry if his hair was at least a little messy.

[ChianaWeasley]

But it was wind blown! :p

Why all the construction on Hagrid's hut?

[Fleurdelacour]

Maybe Hagrid was drunk and fell over it...

[ChianaWeasley]

That's really mean Fleur! Besides we ALL know that Hagrid is not larger then his hut. Tsk, tsk ;) . You know that as well as I do.

I wish that I could see a few sneek peek scenes.

For the second film, the three lead actors were on Oprah and she showed a few scenes from the movie...ok well alot of scenes :D But it was really neat, then she took everyone in the audience to see it before it came out! :eek:

[Xyla]

Harry and Hermoine's hair both annoy me with their non-canon-ness
(go the made-up compound words!)

[ChianaWeasley]

Hermione's hair isn't supposed to calm down until the yule ball in book four, when she uses the sleekez hair gel. But then it goes back to frizzy. Emma's hair is no where near where it needs to be, do you think they just gave up on getting the hair right?

Cool new pics, Alqua!!! :clap:

The “fountain court” is definitely a new set, isn’t it? I wonder what the significance of it is. Or did they just nick it from LOTR?

And what’s Dumbledore doing there, holding a sermon?


Does anyone else think the colouring of the new uniforms is a little off, somehow? Maybe it’s the Gryffindor red, it’s too purple somehow, too much of a bluish tinge….


And Hermione is WAY too beautiful. She already was in PS and CoS as well, but it’s getting WORSE.


by Fleur
Second one looks like Shrieking Shack, although Ron doesnt look like he's in much pain regarding his leg... Hm, maybe his leg isn’t broken after all, maybe they thought that would have been a little over-dramatic (I always thought it was).


Posted by Xyla
Harry and Hermoine's hair both annoy me with their non-canon-ness (go the made-up compound words!) Harry's is fine with me now, but talking of un-canonical hair, what happened to Draco’s? OK maybe it’s not inconsistent with the book but does anyone else think the new style of it looks pretty stupid? Or is that what 13 year olds consider the height of cool these days? :confused:



And what about Sirius’s in the Azkaban pic? I doubt Xyla minds the non-canon-ness in that case (:p), but does anyone agree it looks way too clean and beautiful for 12 years in that cell? Maybe he’s somehow got behind Legolas’ impeccable-hair-no-matter-what-happens-secret, but still…


At least Azkaban looks sufficiently scary.

[LuthienElentari]

THANKS AlQUA! THOSE pictures are wonderful:beer: :hug: where do you get these pictures? Harry looks ok, but as I said HIS HAIR WASN'T MESSY LIKE IN THE BOOKS! why is it that the smallest details mean alot?

[Fleurdelacour]

*speechless*

Sirius looks really dodgy... :( Did anyone see Gary Oldman on Graham Norton on Wednesday? It was his first time on a chat show (so he went on Graham Norton ;) ) and it was soo surreal someone talking about being Sirius, and the audience (though very adult :p ) loved Sirius! They were cheering when he said who he was playing. :)

His leg cracked on the roots of the Whomping Willow though... (oh I hope they leave that in so all my friends can squirm :p )

When are we going to get one of Remus up-close though? If he's got a 'tash...

[ChianaWeasley]

I cannot see the pictures!!!! Oh no!! what do they look like?! Quick tell me!! ;)

Well in regard to Ron's leg, I'm pretty sure it broke in the book. it was at an odd angle, and harry heard it snap while he was being drug towards the Whomping willow.

[Colli]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :eek: :(
PLeae don't tell me that that's ugly, creepy Lupin with a moustache sitting next to snape during Dumbledore's sermon!!!


I'm beyond crying about Sirius' appearance. I at least know Goldman is a good actor... but who is this Thewlis guy? and how has he mad Lupin so ugly??? *cries*

I actually like Draco's new hair though.

EDIT: Colli, is that pic of Hogsmeade? I saw another caption elsewhere that said it was the kids walking to their Care of Magical Creatures class???

PLeae don't tell me that that's ugly, creepy Lupin with a moustache sitting next to snape during Dumbledore's sermon!!!

I didn't even notie that at first, but now I'm really scared! :eek:

Oh well. I think I might as well pretend that this movie isn't happening at all, that would save me a lot of frustration. :rolleyes:


I wasn't expecting ALL the grown up characters in the movie to be the epitome of sexy (the one I really care about is anyway :D :swoon: ) but I don't want them to be PAINFUL to look at. :mad:

David Thewlis had better surprise us all yet. :mad:



by Chiana
Well in regard to Ron's leg, I'm pretty sure it broke in the book. Yes, I know it did, I meant I always found that a little melodramatic in the book, too. I'm all for absolute canon-ness but I won't miss that particular detail if it's not in the movie.



Talking of canon-ness, that pic with Snape "protecting the trio from the werewolf".... that must be after they get back out of the Whomping Willow - and apparently Snape is awake. :confused: That isn't canon. And it's also strange because it means Snape actually witnesses Peter Pettigrew's escape, which he doesn't in the book. Does it mean he will tell Dumbledore and the Minister an outright LIE when he tells them his version of the events later on? (That Sirius is the guilty one and that there was no Pettigrew anywhere near the Shrieking Shack that night.) And does it also mean that we won't see him getting his head bumped against the ceiling of the secret passage? What a shame. :p


What's Sirius doing on that "Wanted" poster, laughing? :rolleyes:




Colli, I'm pretty sure that that's Hogwarts in the background, not Hogsmeade. See the tower and the great hall?

[Xyla]

I figured Sirius was supposed to be growling or shrieking like a mad-man... you know usual propaganda to make him seem like a scary maniac :p
He looks a little silly, but considering its a moving poster, maybe it's just an odd moment they've caught there.

Maybe Snape is unconscious, and Pettigrew escapes and then Snape wakes up to see Sirius battling with Lupin, and he's sort of protecting the kids, and then Lupin runs into the forest.. and.. then he sees Sirius run off and he thinks Sirius is just escaping... and Harry runs off after Sirius, and SNape follows them but sees the dementors and he stays back until the dementors are chased off by Harry's patronus, whence he takes the others up to the castle blah blah blah...

??? :D???

[Pippin]

Originally posted by Xyla

Well, he IS a scary maniac, isn't he? :p


Anyway I always figured that the way people behave in moving pictures is up to them, not up to the people that took the picture... but maybe I'm wrong.


maybe it's just an odd moment they've caught there.I keep hoping that about Lupin, too. :rolleyes:



blah blah blah...

??? :D??? Yes, makes sense. Kinda.

Although I do wonder why anyone would have to protect anyone else from a werewolf in BROAD DAYLIGHT??? :confused:

(I mean we know better than to trust captions in magazines, but does that strike anyone else as strange?)

[Deagol's Bane]

My thoughts.

Lupin's not looking right to me either (at least from that little picture).

Pippin ~
nyway I always figured that the way people behave in moving pictures is up to them, not up to the people that took the picture... but maybe I'm wrong.There was a thread on that a while back.

I like Malfoy's hair. Silly looking, yes (IMO, and I shouldn't talk), but I think it sort of suits him.

Well, that's all.

[Colli]

For the Hogsmeade/Hogwarts pic, The Leaky Cauldron captioned it "The Trio in Hogsmeade"... but who knows. :)

And about Snape protecting... I guess we're not going to get to see him floating along the passageway and getting his head knocked against the ceiling??? That part always made me laugh so much... :(

I'm not holding a whole lot of hope for this movie...

[Monkfish]

http://www.amarillonights.com/movies/posters/harrypotterpoa.jpg
Be afraid...Be very afraid!:D

[Kristin]

PoA is still my favorite of the Harry Potter books. And Sirius and Lupin are two of my favorite characters ... and look how they've been miscast! :(

I like Gary Oldman, but he doesn't seem right for Sirius, IMO. And David Thewlis ... *shudders* :eek: I think Xyla had it exactly right: "ugly, creepy Lupin" indeed!

[Colli]

Larger, higher quality versions of the above pictures:

[Xyla]

So can someone explain why Lupin looks like HITLER???!??!?

[Monkfish]

In the picture of the trio going somewhere...........judging by the fact that they are in uniform and carrying their school bags, could it be that they are on their way to care of magical creatures at the edge of the forest to see buckbeak?

[Fleurdelacour]

That's exactly what I was thinking... I want to cry now... How can they do that to my FAVOURITE CHARACTER IN LITERAY HISTORY!!? :mad: :eek: ugly, creepy, hitleresque Remus Lupin! That's just wrong!

Maybe they're just tricking us... They stuck a picture of Hitler thinking about writing Mien Kamph (sp?) over the real swoonable picture of Remus sipping some elderberry wine delicatly...

My visions of Sirius and Remus are slipping away slowly... :( I dont think I'm going to end up seeing this film. Like Kristin its my fave hp book (ikts my favourite book altogether though...) I dont want it to be ruined by some crackpot director who thinks Remus Lupin has a moustache and looks like Hitler!!

[Monkfish]

OK......He`s not in character.........but here is some better pics of David Thewlis:

[ChianaWeasley]

I've just seen the trailer!!!!

Since when does hogwarts have a chorus? ;)

It looks good, I'm actually very excited...but there wasn't a scene with ron in it.....I'd like to see some more of him :o

Oldman definitely pulls of sirius

:D

[Pippin]

Alqua - :hug: for your screencaps, my net connection can't handle the trailer and I thought I'd never see the full glory of it! Thank you so much for those brilliant caps! :notworthy



So... comments...

I'm still willing to give Gary Oldman's Sirius the benefit of doubt (and Sirius DID look scary and a little sickly all the way through PoA, we're all just too much in love with his cleaner OotP version!!!). But Lupin? by Xyla
So can someone explain why Lupin looks like HITLER???!??!? You say it, Xyla. WHY?????:mad:

by Fleur
My visions of Sirius and Remus are slipping away slowly... Don't say that, Fleur. They'll always be there in your mind, your perfect Lupin and your perfect Sirius. It's a shame if you won't enjoy PoA as much as you might have expected because they got those two wrong, but it's just an interpretation - the real thing is the vision you have in your mind, and no one can take that away from you. :)


by Colli
sorry, couldn't resist
Never mind dear, I think we can all live with that.

In other words, WHOA!!!!!!!!!!

:swoon: :swoon: :swoon:

:o

:D




"Something wicked this way comes" - did anyone else think "Yoda" when you saw that? I did. And my second thought was "Dobby". But it's really Shakespeare. Go figure. :D



There are quite a few pics/scenes in the trailer that raise questions and are the stuff speculation is made of... should we have a separate thread for that? What say the mods?

[Snapdragon]

Thanks to all of you who supplied those great pics:)

Colli, I can't resist either :swoon: The continued Snape-swooning isn't a problem but I'm seriously worried about Lupin. He looks like a tweed-jacket-and leather-elbow-patches English prep school master with a grotty little Hitleresque moustache:eek:
Pain! Much pain! OK, everyone has their own mental image of the characters but my Lupin looks nothing like that!:mad:

AS for the vulture hat, I'm just so glad they kept that bit in:D

I don't have problems with Oldman as Sirius, so far.

My youngest son objects to Malfoy's new hairstyle...he combs his own hair back-yes it is blond- and does Malfoy impressions and thinks the new style is all wrong:D he also thinks Lupin looks awful and as a ten year old he is part of the target audience . I am just a target Snape-swooner and HP fan:swoon:

[Fleurdelacour]

I watched the trailer again last night (I taped it) I'm getting used to Oldman as Sirius but there is one big problem! Gary Oldman looks a lot like his older sister... Who plays Big Mo in Eastenders (I used to watch eastenders...) which is bad, because I do not want to be thinking of her when I'm watching him battle for his innocence and hugging Remus... :eek: :o

Remus still looks like Hitler... I even showed my mum who only knows about Harry Potter through my talking about it for the last few years, she saw it and asked if that was Crouch! :eek:

Pippin, I've just been staring avidly at the Art Dungeon pictures of Remus and Sirius to keep me sane :p

Pippin finally gets her hands on the trailer and bounces up and down happily.

This is the stuff speculation is made of, isn't it? :D


What's Hagrid doing there?

And Snape and Harry in the corridor?

The house in the snowy landscape? (is that the Shrieking Shack?)

And the boggart scene is priceless. :rotfl:




by Snapdragon
My youngest son objects to Malfoy's new hairstyle...he combs his own hair back-yes it is blond- and does Malfoy impressions and thinks the new style is all wrong

Pippin tries, and fails completely, to picture Snapdragon's youngest son doing Malfoy impressions. :D

Does it make the girls at school swoon for him or why does he do that? ;)



Speaking of target audiences, I see how the movies are still aimed mainly at a young audience, but have the movie makers actually taken into consideration that LOTS of the HP characters have a maginificent swooning potential, and that there are hundreds of thousands of girls and women out there who would practically die for a swoony Sirius and a swoony Lupin? I can't believe they didn't realise that - and if they did, I can't believe how they let that go to waste with Lupin. :(

You're right, Fleur - Lupin looks just like a good Crouch.

Retired servicemen have moustaches, but sensitive intellectuals don't. Period. :mad:

[ChianaWeasley]

I've seen Thewlis is loads of films, both American and european. And I can confidently assure you he has pulled of the part of Remus Lupin, dispite that mustache ;). He has what it takes to evolve into a character.
And Gary Oldman, well I'm going to flat out tell you he did an excellent job. The trailer seems to justify him even more, particualry with those wanted posters!!!

:LOL:nope I haven't seen the film yet...though I'm talking like i have :rolleyes: But i put all hope on those two performers and i think they did a good job ::crosses fingers::

[najuk]

Ouch, some of these pictures are almost painful!!! I never imagined people could do so much butchering to one set of books!!! However, most of you seem to not mind the films so I'm not about to go off on one here in case you all jump on me and eat me for dinner *meep*. Sirius, well I can see where they're coming from but he just looks too old but Lupin, oh my God, are they crazy?!!!!! He seriously looks like one of my old art teachers!!! You could never imagine this guy as a Marauder could you?! He looks as if he were born to a long line of [inbred] librarians (with a lishgtly scary darker side to them). I'm a huge Sirius/Remus fan but these guys would never get it together *shudders*. Doesn't anyone else think that all Snape, Lupin and Sirius look way too old? I mean these guys are meant to mid-30s and they all look to be pushing 50 :( Yeah, so they've had hard lives and yadda yadda, but seriously, c'mon ...

On a slightly nicer note, Rupert is looking more Ronnish now and Daniel Radcliffe doesn't lok as bad as I used ot think he did and I like those weird vertebrae candle things :D

[Lanen]

Hiya folks - I've been away, havent' had time to read all the back posts, but - the discussion re: Malfoy's new hairstyle - if that's meant to be Malfoy in the trailer caps photos, surely that's an entirely different actor as Malfoy? Or am I looking at the wrong person?

Confused in Scotland

[Colli]

Confused -

Sadly, it's the same Malfoy! Tom Felton's just decided to stop slicking back his hair, who knew? :)


;)

I think they're trying for the windswept atop an ocean cliff side look, dramatic yet conservative. But the roots are growing out, that's the only blooper. Other then that, I find it to my liking. :)

Thats a fairly old photograph isn't it?
Look how short Seamus is, and ron is definatley shorter then he looks now...
but cute none the less!

Yeah...

After looking at it again, it's obvious it was taken a while ago. I mean, a WHILE ago. Rupert Grint looks so much older and more mature now. Looks like that pic was taken before or during CoS. Oh, and that chick still gives me the collywobbles.

[RGjunkie]

Yeah, look at Rupert. He's so cute! But he looks strikingly young there, which is weird because last year he was looking older. Now, he's just plain gorgeous.... think I can have him for Christmas? :swoon:

Oh, I've been very very nice! Y'all can have Snape (though you may be fighting Colli for him), but keep your hands off my Ronnie! ;) :swoon:

Pippin kidnaps Snape and drags him off to the Snape! thread to share him with Fenchurch, Serphy, Moxie, Snapdragon and all her other sisters-in-swooning before anyone else can get their hands on him.

You're always welcome to visit though Colli, you know that. ;)

I'm sorry sir but as Snape's agent/attourney/body-guard I cannot allow this kidnapping to take place until permission from Snape himself is given. I think you'd be wise in getting Neville's boggart OUT of the "Snape!" thread before an increased ammount of mayhem occurs. If you wish to kidnap Snape himself, please let me know and I'll ask Snape his opinion on the matter.

Thanks,

Nope, not kidding!

The fact that he works for bothVoldemort and Dumbledore proves my point. The fact that he's still alive means he can look after himself....

[Flockman The Wise]

He's alive because I do my job well. :D

[Colli]

LOL you guys.. as much as I'm enjoying this conversation could you perhaps move it to the Leaky Cauldron? We're getting just a TEENSY bit off topic, partly my fault. Sorry. :D

Have you guys seen the ones me and elfea took on our palmers green trip back in april? They're over in the fan gatherings forum. We had a grat day inspecting the knight buses and one of the girls we were with even convinced a security guard to let her sit in the bus while we took pictures!! :D

It's Stan Shunpike.

The actor was in Master and Commander, for those of you who are interested.

I wonder what is would be like to sleep on a night bus??? Ya how did they make it a tripledecker? it looks so cool .:D ChianaWeasley you are right I it is always the neatest thing whenever I see it!!:jawdrop:

Most of them have already been seen, but there's one of Buckebeak and one of Trelawney that I don't recall seeing before.

[Athelas]

Although that isn't what I had pictured as Trelawney, I think ET looks great! I especially like the glasses!

[ChianaWeasley]

Emma is going to be the perfect professor Trelawny!!!

Absolutley wonderful I must say, exactly what I pictured

I'm soo excited for the film :D

Emaa looks like she's got the acting thing down pat ;) perhaps she's holding the time turner and is debating whether to use it or not. Thats my guess:)

[SiriuslyInLove]

*is trying to remember what happend to her hand*

I think She will be a wonderful Trewlawney! Have you ever read a book and then imagined and actor/actress as the character? She is who i imagined to be Trewlawney(sp?)

and I'm really hoping for OOTP that they get Ving Rhames to play Kingsley!

Great pictures!

Still dont make up for Hiter-esque Remus...

[ChianaWeasley]

Love all the new pictures we're getting in!

I enjoy the one of Ron ;)

The monster book...not how I pictured it to be. Yet I find it humorous that it takes the shape of a spider, how predictable of Hagrid :p

And the one of Harry and Hermione is really implying H/HR....but...but...thats not the case....its R/Hr!!!!!!!

Finally a good, serious picture of Ron...all the ones I've seen are fuzzy or he's got an odd look on his face. Poor rupert, he looks stupored or something in the newly released poster. Still just as cute though.

And look at Scabbers...evil evil Scabbers....:mad:

[SiriuslyInLove]

yeah, he look's a little frazzled and v. tired! :eek: poor Ron!

SWEET POSTER!!! i love it! :D

[Fleurdelacour]

Ooh, the poster is good (see I can say nice things about this film! :p ) Ron looks more Ronish... Hermione looks etheral... I'm not sure if that's good or not. Harry still looks wrong though :p

Regarding Ron and Hermione who are obviously going to get together ;) I read in an article, that they hug, and hold hands a bit... :D So :p to H/H shippers! :D

[LuthienElentari]

Do they really hold hands? and hug? YES! I think I'am really starting to like this director!

Sorry Katz I cant help it! I loved the ending!!! Where she hit's him and then says "That felt good." :rotfl:

[owl]

thats a brill piccy alqua:clap:

And your screencaps

Trelawney looks freaky

[SiriuslyInLove]

oh yes and this piccie was funny! :D

http://alexicon.org/harrypotter/trailer2/Image24

man do they look embarassed or what?;)
no doubt about it the kid's have grown up! :) I wonder which one is the oldest? I think it was Rupert?

[Xyla]

I still hate the DemonicGreyhound!Lupin
I thought werewolves were supposed to look a lot like REAL wolves.
Otherwise what would be the point of learning the identifiers of the werewolf, like "shorter snout" etc. etc.
You could just say "Well, one looks like a wolf, and the other looks like a demonic greyhound".

:rotfl:

Oh Xyla, you are soooo right!

[LuthienElentari]

I was screaming when I saw this lovely trailer! I swear I memorized that Ron/Hermione holding hands bit I watched it like 20 times (not joking) thanx so much alqua it really lightend my day. Hermiones hand is in the shape of a V when she grabs Ron's arm which means-

Victory- Victory in the realationship
Valentine- Valentine's Day= Love. Get it?
Vicktor Krum- A sign????
Velemints (a type of mint)- Possibly used for a first "kiss"
anymore????

(Runs around and screams while watching the Ron/Hermione moment again)

[Xyla]

I do like that the kids have the scruffy teenage look though, with the ties not done up properly and that sort of thing.
They actually look like the kids at my old school, except we didn't wear robes :p
We did wear shirts, ties and blazers though :p

PS Siriusly: I think the ugly head is supposed to be like one of those voodoo shrunken head things, which this driver has hanging from his rearview mirror.
Apparently this head does the seeing for the driver too :p

[SiriuslyInLove]

I do believe you are right Xyla! BUt I'm betting that The Knigh bus is going to be one of the funniest parts! :LOL:

[Fleurdelacour]

*squeals* :D Hermione is quite dominating isn't she? :p She seeks comfort in Ron's hands in school, trying to grasp them... And she kisses him on the cheek in OotP... I bet by the next book she'll go all smouldering temptress on us :D :p

Oooh Lookies!! The Knight Bus! :D I keep on forgetting I've touched it and I saw it being filmed...

http://alexicon.org/harrypotter/trailer2/Image9

How Londonish? :)

http://alexicon.org/harrypotter/trailer2/Image15

It says SE4/14 on the postcode on the street sign! :D Sudden sense of south london pride... I need a life...

Hahahah! Yes Xyla, demonic greyhound indeed! Why are they messing Remus up? Do they want us Remus fangirls to kill them or something?

Mixed feelings about this film...

[LuthienElentari]

I have no mixed feelings about the film actually. The new trailer convinced me that this film is going to be good. Although it may not be mind-blowing I'm convinced that it will not be a disgrace to the book. If anything this film looks more true to the book then both movies combined. (Its ok if you disagree with me)

ps. Thanx for the pics Fluer!

[Rapunzel]

Xyla, you're so right about the demonic greyhound Lupin! :LOL: I did think it'd have a bit more hair than that.

alqua, thanks for posting those screencaps, they're really great. Has anyone else noticed that in the last one, where harry's yelling 'expecto patronum', theres someone standing in the trees behind him? I read on another board that it was hermione, but it doesnt really look like her. Any ideas?

[LuthienElentari]

Here is some pictures I found on Mugglenet-

I do agree! and Buckbeak is cute!! :D

Look's like Ron got a new hairstyle!
http://www.mugglenet.com/movies/gallery1/stills/Hogwarts/azkaban25.jpg

[LuthienElentari]

I know! I love it! very hot! :swoon: :swoon: better then Malfoys new haircut!

[SiriuslyInLove]

LOL!

I'm not sure who's i like more though!

did anyone notice that ring look around Harry & Buckbeak? :confused:

[Fleurdelacour]

Apart from the last picture shpwing Harry at his possessed best ;) His eyes are GREEN! :eek: :D

Oh Ron looks wonderful I have to say :) Aw, he's working the whole scruffy/adorable thing! :p

Buckbeak looks alright... He looks slightly puppetish though....

[alqua]

Ron is really beginning to look like the way he should look like. Great. :)

[ChianaWeasley]

They're holding hands!!!!

Ohmigosh!!!!

I feel like squealing!!!!!

It is a bit early, but I still love it!!!!

:o

[SiriuslyInLove]

LOL!

Hey Chiana I love the new Icon! ;)

Trewlawney is going to be one very intresting character! :) and Emma Thompson, I have no doubt, Will portray her very awesomely! :D

[Flockman G5]

Yeah, I like that icon, too. The casting crew did a good job on picking someone to play Trelawney.

[Athelas]

I agree that the new movie looks like it could be the best of the 3--and Ron seems to have gotten past that awkward teenage nose-too-big-for-the-face stage--but I am still concerned about Remus. If he doesn't look right, it would be like casting, I don't know, say Stuart Townsend as Aragorn!;)

[SiriuslyInLove]

oh crud! *racks brain* who is Stuart Townsend? I know I'v heard of him!!! :o

[alqua]

Stuart Townsend was originally supposed to play the part of Aragorn. More recently he has been in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen as Dorian Gray.

[SiriuslyInLove]

I knew I recognized the name! I saw LXG-He's a great actor, but he was definetly not right for the part of Arrer's! I can't imagine not haing our beloved Viggo as Arrer's! :eek:

[ChianaWeasley]

Oh, how fair,Dorian Gray.
But I must say they mussed up the original plot of 'Portrait of Dorian Gray', but he made up the difference.:o

Wind blown Ron Weasley
:swoon:

[Little Miss]

also - Stuart Townsend - Lestat in Queen of the Damned.

[SiriuslyInLove]

He was my fave character in the movie...too bad about being the badguy! :( That so sucked!

*hasnt seen Queen of the Damned...yet:devil:* :D

[SiriuslyInLove]

the first one worked-the otehrs dont.

[Athelas]

Just go to mugglenet.com. They have the pics nicely labeled. More Lupin pictures that I do NOT like.:p BUT I am hoping Chiana is correct and I will be happy in the end!

[ChianaWeasley]

None of the links are working! Oh bother, why dont they work?!
Oh, I want to see Ron and Hermione gazing at each other!!!

[LuthienElentari]

I found these pics on HPANA. I hope they download this time.

[ChianaWeasley]

Hurrah! They worked!
They are really good pictures, and some I've never seen before either. The first one, the woman touching the icicle is that madame Rosmerta?

The mistress that makes Ron Weasley blush???
:o

[LuthienElentari]

Yep thats the mistress all right.

[SiriuslyInLove]

I found these from the same place!

The twins grew their hair out!!!!:eek:

http://www.mugglethai.com/galleries/poa/poapic79.jpg


This one's cool, because is has Lupin & Sirius together...but man those scars are going to bug me throughout the whole movie!!!

http://www.mugglethai.com/galleries/poa/poapic71.jpg

Snapey Snapey! Oh and Dumbleys!

http://www.mugglethai.com/galleries/poa/poapic67.jpg

here's whats his name with Harry-Fudge! yeah Fudge! duh!

http://www.mugglethai.com/galleries/poa/poapic66.jpg

pretty scenery in the back! I wonder where they filmed it!

http://www.mugglethai.com/galleries/poa/poapic69.jpg

it's Hedwig!!!

http://www.mugglethai.com/galleries/poa/poapic42.jpg

& it's Fudge & Dumbleys!

http://www.mugglethai.com/galleries/poa/poapic68.jpg

[ChianaWeasley]

Gah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What in the world?!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!
That looks dreadful!!!!!!!!!!
What is with the long hair?!
Those are mullets!
The twins dont have mullets!!1
:eek:

...I think I need to sit down....

[LuthienElentari]

Now I know where Rupurt Grint got that idea.......

(evil twins)

[Little Miss]

third from the bottom, dumbledore coming out of hagrid's hut?

i have one question. why is he wearing dirty robes that are soaked up to the knees? and why does he look generally unwashed?

[Fleurdelacour]

He's been up to things with Hagrid, evidently ;)

MULLETS INDEED CHIANA! :eek: Maybe they're taking the piss... Its like an ironic statement or something...

What's with Percy's afro?

Look... Sirius... Remus *bursts out into tears*

[Athelas]

Originally posted by Fleurdelacour

Tears of laughter? tears of joy? tears that Lupin looks like such a doofus?;)

[LuthienElentari]

*joins FleurD*

[Fleurdelacour]

Yes... He does look so awfully wrong... And it looks like someone has put a huge hot fork against his face and burnt it!

[ChianaWeasley]

oh, how fashion leaks into all the recesses of good...that hair is just dreadful :(

thinks of Ron Weasley

ok, thats alittle better
:)

[SiriuslyInLove]

:LOL:

Wow...you girl's sure like you're guys! ;)

[ChianaWeasley]

Well, at least Rupert can pull of the shaggy hair look,unlike the twins. Hence why I focused on that picture for a bit:p

[LuthienElentari]

Here! Here :beer: Rupurt does need to leave the shaggy look behind save that for Aragorn! we want the adorable Ron with loads of freckles and short mussed up hair not this shaggy long stuff!

[ChianaWeasley]

you're absolutely correct Luthien.
Where is our cute short haired Ron.
And what happened to Neville?
He's growing up, and he looks so different...
it's really weird to watch these kids grow up.
It's like coming back to school after the summer,
to see all of my friends have grown another five inches
and the guys have facial hair.

I'll never get used to it
;)

[Fleurdelacour]

Y'know, despite my crazy critisisms of the films, I've never critisised Rupert Grint's Ron! :)

I always thought the twins were a bit to passive in the films... Maybe the hair is trying to make them look funny... So they'll act funnier... I don't know.... I just want to get a scissors and yank it all off!

Wait a second... The twins have a terrifying resembelance to...

http://www.albaplc.com/images/Brand%20pages%20l_h%20bands/Image%20files/NC.jpg

Nicky Clarke...

Who is a "celebrity" hairdresser....

[xKatiexBellx]

Woah!!! What happened to Fred and George?! That's..... ACK!!! They do NOT look good with their hair long. And then looking at Malfoy in the previews he looks hot!

[SiriuslyInLove]

me no like the twins hair either....but perhaps that Nicky Clarke dude did thier hair so people would like it...instead of laughing at it and I am so not making sense...:rolleyes:


It shall drive me up a friggin wall during the movie though! :p

Seeing HP & SS tonight I burst out laughing at how young the kids looked! THat is something I really like--seeing them grow up!

[Fleurdelacour]

Originally posted by Athelas

Watching how the slow tranisition into puberty, and how hair that wasnt there before now is and how that once squeaky innocent voice is now reminisent of a east London gangster ;)

[ChianaWeasley]

London gangster? Sounds rathy raspy and mysterious to me, not too bad of a transition I'd say.

Seeing them grow up is rather unique, I wonder how much they'll have changed for GoF. I cannot wait to see the fight scene between ron and Hermione!
:o

[Fleurdelacour]

East london ganster being cockney, not so sexy, fat and bald... Though that contradicts the hair thing... I guess I'm just comparing them to my male cockney friends :p Haha...Now that'd be funny...

I'll shut up now....

Oh Chiana!! I can't wait for that too! :D If they leave it out I'll scream!!

If they leave out these two bits in PoA I'll blub my eyes out...

* When Remus and Sirius hug for the first time in twelve years.... :(

* And the little shouting speech Sirius gives "THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED! DIED RATHER THEN BETRAY YOUR FRIENDS! AS WE WOULD HAVE DONE FOR YOU!"

I have that perfect in my mind... The voice sounds like Legolas shouting though... Should be huskier and rasping... If they leave it out, or let Oldman ruin it... I'll cry...

[ChianaWeasley]

Bald fat man?
Cockney accents aren't so bad, but I cannot stand the other part. Perhaps you're right, not even the least bit sexy makes a gagging expression

The whole scene in the shrieking shack has to be absolutely amazing, and I know Gary Oldman can pull it off. No worries there.

I've seen pictures of Peter Pettigrew, and its exactly what I've always seen in my head. Despicable little wanker. :mad:

[Fleurdelacour]

haha! They guy who plays Peter Pettigrew lives around my area, I've seen him a few times... I think he's good for him... I can't think of his name right now... He looks like this random guy I know...

I hope Oldman can pull it off...

And that other man.... Forgotton his name too...

Ooh look what I just found!!

http://www.mugglenet.com/viewer/?image_location=poa/stickerbook/sb1.jpg

:jawdrop:

They've not cut it... They're hugging :( Sirius looks a bit freakish... Cant see the moustache... So its ok from this angle... *sniff*

[ChianaWeasley]

Timothy Spall is the man's name.
A very established actor from the looks of it, but he's more independant films I'd say.


http://xenaprincess.altervista.org/cho/immagini/anne_suzuki.jpg

and here she is, the cry baby of Hogwarts....Cho Chang!

[glaelia]

timothy spall's done a lot more tv than he has films, auf weidersehn pet being his most famous series :)

only us olides know things like that ;)

[Fleurdelacour]

She snogs Harry!! ;) *giggles like a silly school girl* Ooh, I wonder if they'll show that in the fifth film... If they make it that is... She looks Japanese... Really typicaly Japanese and kitch... I suppose that's good lol I never really had a clear picture in my mind of Cho... A blubbering wreck of a girl maybe!

Ah yes that's it Timothy Spall.... I bet after the film he'll be in the newsagents again and I'll get freaked out because I'm in the same room as Peter Pettigrew :p I have to keep a lookout because Linda Barker lives around here too... I could do the nation a favour and kill her...

[ChianaWeasley]

I've always seen Cho chang as this untouchable, Catholic school girl. The model of Harry's version of perfection, ousted onto his pedestal :rolleyes: boys....

But this girl looks like she'll fit the part, but she has to be able to bring out the tears on command. Cho Chang=blubbering school girl. If she gets that she'll do fine :p

[Little Miss]

maybe i'm just saying this because all japanese people look the same to me to some extent (i'm blind) but she REALLY looks like the psycho Mitsuko Souma from Battle Royale, who i also think played the random schoolgirl with a mace in Kill Bill vol. 1

if so, be afraid...

[Colli]

Hey you guys, keep the pictures comin! :)

[ChianaWeasley]

I can see Cho Chang whipping out the mase on some poor unsuspecting sixth year. Or perhaps even on Harry...what a nutter she is that Cho.

[Fleurdelacour]

I re-read the snogging scene in OotP... Still makes me giggle... She gets off with Harry... hehehe! I'm so childish... :rolleyes: I think she can do it... She has the "I'll get off with who I want" look to her...

She does look like that crazy school girl in Kill Bill....

[glaelia]

Battle Royale... haha. watched that the other day/last week... sometime soon.

Yes YES! KILL LINDA BARKER! she must DIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!

[Athelas]

I love Linda Barker! Is that because I'm American and in my forties?

I think Cho is a Chinese name, isn't it?

Have you seen the one of the new commercials that has MacNair? His axe looks really BIG!

[Colli]

:) Hey you guys! I just checked out MuggleNet, and they have a TON of pictures from the movie... all of which I'm sure you know about.. but I've been a bad :trout: mod (college, [now ex-]boyfriend, finals, moving, etc]) and am just now pointing them out.

But go look, if you haven't!! Just scroll down (http://www.mugglenet.com) a bit.

:hug:

[lithorose]

Colli!:wave: :hug: Long time no see!

Is Cho's nationality ever stated? I assume Cho Chang is Chinese; it isn't Japanese. Looking forward to the next movie.

Who's Linda Barker?

[Fleurdelacour]

You love Linda Barker?.... That's just wrong :p

She's eeevviilll

She's this evil interior designer, a Z-list celebrity... She does ads for EVERYTHING... Electrical shops... Sofa shops... And she lives in my area... Not seen her yet... But if I do, I probaly will kill her.

:eek: The trailer was on the ads!! During Home and Away on Channel 5, I nearly choked on my pasta! I'm still in shock... Moving tv pictures of PoA... Best book ever written IMO... Remus still looks weird and psycotic... And Sirius looks every un-sexy... Buckbeak looked good... I didnt see Macnair's axe...

Colli! :) :hug:

[ChianaWeasley]

Wow, so its been decided on a vote that we dont like this woman...;)

Cho is chinese I believe, did I say that she was Japanese? How foolish of me if I did.

I haven't seen any resent pictures, or I would have posted. I guess since it's so close they aren't going to release anymore. I frankly it is quite smart, building up excitment. Yet so cruel!
:p

[Fleurdelacour]

Chang is a Chinese surname

From Behind the Name (http://www.behindthename.com)

CHANG m
Usage: Chinese
Means either "flourishing, prosperity" or "smooth" or "strength" in Chinese.

[Athelas]

I adore this!
(Even though I still haven't been convinced about Lupin's look)

Oh, shoot-I can't get it to appear, but it is the first one with Harry, Black and Lupin.

And since it's on the same page--I really like the new Whomping Willow--looks more like the real thing! (Willow tree, not WW :D)

3 new pics (http://filmforce.ign.com/harrypotter/articles/516/516886p1.html)

[Princess Aurora]

Yes, I'm really happy with the new Whomping Willow... much more like I'd pictured it than that stumpy thing with spikes from CoS. ;)

And that picture with Harry, Sirius, and Lupin is great!

[lithorose]

Sends chills up my back! hohohohoooo

Still don't know who this Barker woman is.... I take it I should be glad that I don't?;)

[Athelas]

On BBC America there is a program caled Changing Rooms which inspired Trading Spaces. She is one of the designers and I almost always like her rooms.

Of course, here in the colonies, we don't see any of her advertisements.;)

[Fleurdelacour]

And you're so lucky you dont :p

My mum's friend was on Changing Rooms years ago.... Her son's had a constuction site bedroom... Inspired by Bob the Builder I think....

Ooh I prefer the Whomping Willow... It looks like it holds more history then the previous one. It looks willowy and tragic...

[Athelas]

I'm sorry this is completely OT, but I LOVED that boy's bedroom!

OK, did you see the spoiler review at TLC?

The relevant part:David Thewlis is not how I imagined Lupin, nor is Gary Oldman as Sirius: I think a lot of people feel this way, at least about the way they look. However, they are actors, and act they can. They're perfect.

Do you think GO will be back for GOF? I haven't heard yet....

A close-up of Lupin (still not my Lupin)

Lupin close-up (http://www.mugglethai.com/galleries/poa/poapic117.jpg)

And
Wimpy Lupin (http://www.mugglethai.com/galleries/poa/poapic136.jpg)

[glaelia]

haha, i'm not being funny... but they're exactly how I imagined them...

they're not supposed to be gorgeous, one's a werewolf, the other's been in prison for 12 years... they look how they're supposed to and I know they're both good enough actors to pull it off :D

[Fleurdelacour]

Sirius is meant to be sexy! I don't care if he's been in prision! JKR said on her website that Sirius is sexy!

Remus just looks creepy... What would a werewolf wear? (great alliteration... hehehe) Not a cardie anyway... I remember wearing those saggy grey cardies in primary school!

Oh it was so weird... I was sitting outside a bakery this morning and a bus went past, and Sirius was on it!

And May 31st...

The date has changed?! Or am I slow.... I'm sure it was 4th June... But we're getting it on Bank Holiday Monday!

[Xazinon]

Hmm, well, either way you guys will still get the movie before us, the date is June 10th here! Lucky ducks! ;) :)


Oh, and a big hello to Colli! Long time no see, hope you're well! :wave: :D

[Fleurdelacour]

10th June! That's a bit mean!

We definatly get it before everyone else :D I checked on imdb :)

[glaelia]

Am seeing it on May 31st too Fleur! At the WArner Bros cinema at Angel. Am SO looking forward to it.... ps, I DO think they're sexy ;)

[Fleurdelacour]

It's next week! Better start booking tickets at filmworks!

Y'know what... I completely forgot that I was on the set during the Knight Bus scenes... :o I might go see it in the London Bridge/Borough area instead... To be nearer the action as it were ;)

Ooh I'm excited now!

[ChianaWeasley]

I'm booking tickets with my sister this week!!!
I can't wait!!!
It's June 4th on the East Coast, and it's the last day of school!!!
How wonderful is that?
:p

[LuthienElentari]

My madre is buying tickets for the midnight showing! I'll be the one with the T-shirt reading "Beware the Big Bad Harry/Hermione Ship" (I hope that doesn't offend anyone) and with the group of girls surrounding the big Rupurt Grint poster swooning of course ;). Not to mention I'll only have 8 more days of school!

[Fleurdelacour]

Maybe I should make a R/H shipper teeshirt, or make one dedicated to the Marauders! :p Minus Peter of course...

[Princess Aurora]

June 4th.

12:01 AM.

On the IMAX.


It doesn't really get any better than that... :D And I'm just going to ignore the fact that all you Brits get to see it on the 31st. :p ;)

[Fleurdelacour]

IMAX?....

I completely forgot about that....

May have to book the Imax in Waterloo instead :p

Wow! Exactly a week...

Why was the premiere in New York though?.....

[glaelia]

hehhe. I watched the knight bus filming at palmers green. that was so fun :D

[ChianaWeasley]

I know, I got the newsletter saying it would be playing in the IMAX theatres. That will be absolutely incredible, almost too good to be true. But then again the price for tickets proves that quote. :LOL:

I should make a Ron and Hermione t-shirt to wear to school, that would be neat. It would annoy my friends, they think I'm alittle too into it. But then again, its MY life :p

I won't be burdoned with any large 'Marry Me Rupert' posters, that I'll leave to the other fans. :rolleyes: :)

June 4th, oh how very excited I'm going to be that day...

[Xazinon]

Yup, I suppose it is a bit mean, ah well! You guys will all just have to avoid watching the movie until the 10th of June to make everything better I guess! ;) Cos, yknow, if I didn't want to have the movie spoiled for me I might have to avoid these boards for a week or two, thus meaning you'd no doubt miss me terribly! See, it'd all be for a good cause! :D

[Fleurdelacour]

We do love you Xaz, but there is no way I'm seeing the movie a few weeks later ;) We can keep everything in neat little spoiler things for you!

I got excited again today....

I saw Sirius on the bus again :p I just burst out "Sirius is on the bus!" and then has I left the bakery this morning there was a hologramic poster on a billboard! It moved! It was Buckbeak with Harry and Hermione just sort of there... And I had a bit of a hyper moment before my big english exam... Reading outload bits from PoA to my friends (only one likes HP) and getting a bit to emotional "Bastardly Pettigrew... Oh Remus!! Look this is my favourite bit..."

I get a bit to excited and emotional for a seventeen year old... And then Friends ends on Friday.... Emotional wreck I will be...

I need to shut up...

I read a review of PoA in the newspaper, fantastic review, mentions puberty and it being a thunderstorm most of the time... No mention of Remus at all... Maybe they're so appaled or were blinded by the moustache...

[ChianaWeasley]

I was supposed to be studying for my Honors Global final today in class, but of course, instead I was conversing excited with my friend about PoA being in I-Max theatres.

Then there are the few of my friends who do enjoy HP books, but they just dont quite get my excitement for them. I think perhaps someday, when they are sitting somewhere just thinking, they'll realize......"Ohmigoodness!:eek: I understand her now!"

Of course the likeliness of such a scenario is absurd, but I like to imagine my friends having epiphanys including me. ;)

Did I mention how very very anxious I am for June 4th?

[Xazinon]

Aww, that's very sweet of you to offer to put everything in little spoiler tags for me! But you don't really have to go to all that trouble, I mean, I know the storyline anyways after all! I might still read it anyways, who know? ;) :D



P.S Psst, hey, I sent you a message via Neopets the other day FleurD, did you get it? :) If you need a tip on something, let me know, I'm happy to help if I can!

[Fleurdelacour]

Neomail is down at the moment... How'd you know I was on Neopets? I just realised... All my usernames for sites are all in French...

Yes, you really ought to read it :p Cracking book is Prisioner of Azkaban! ;)

I saw a different trailer on the telly today. It showed what I think were Dementors... They looked like a kid's ghost outfit at Halloween (sheet over head) but was black... And were gliding forwards and upwards really fast in the sky... Only saw that trailer once (they're on all the time now... Almost getting used to it) so maybe I dreamt it...

And were gliding forwards and upwards really fast in the sky... Only saw that trailer once (they're on all the time now... Almost getting used to it) so maybe I dreamt it...

Aw, well, I was a trifle bored a little while back so I took a peek at your lj, and you mentioned you had just got a Neopet so I thought I'd send you a message through Neopets to say hello! I hope you didn't mind me having a look at your journal, it was on your profile so I thought you were encouraging visitors! :)

I didn't mean I hadn't read the book dear, I meant that I might read what's in the spoiler tags anyways! Or were you being a trifle sarcastic, it's always so hard to tell, hehe!

Woo, don't think I've seen that trailer, at least I don't recall seeing it! Sounds neat, though! What do you think the Dementors are wearing under their cloaks? ;)

I'm always sarcastic :p Life without sarcasm... Now that's a grim prospect! I actually changed my neopet thing because I remembered I had registered before and I had loads of neopoints on that (well 10,000 compared to a dismal 250) So I'm mietterouge now :)

I saw that trailer again... And there was a little snippet on This Morning (nothing beats daytime telly on study leave...) and it showed ickle Daniel talking about being intimadated by Gary Oldman... And how the movie was cracking...

The movie looks great... Apart from that moustache...

[ChianaWeasley]

I think we'll all be ok if we dont dwell on the chosen facial hair of remus ;)

Maybe by some odd freak accident he'll lose it!

Yes of course, I know, "wishful thinking Chiana..."

I'm well aware of that, but heres to hoping eh? :beer:

Does anyone else here only watch television now to see the trailers? looks around sketchily ...of course you dont....who would do that?!..................:p

[LuthienElentari]

Well sometimes I turn on Nickelodeon just to catch an HP trailer........they show some really good ones too.

Now about that moustache.........

Personally, I don't mind the moustache. At first it really got on my nerves but now it is actually kind-of growing on me. Not like I like it but I don't really mind Remus with facial hair. He kind of looks dignified with it.

[Fleurdelacour]

I did that this morning Chiana... :o During a crap Saturday morning programme, and I also only watched the show to see the interviews with the kiddies (though, they're not so much kids anymore...)

I think I know what you mean Luthien... It's there and I guess I'll just have to deal with it and get used to it... Facial hair is fine (stubble... now that's a different story all together ;) ) but moustaches...

[ChianaWeasley]

Hey, remember what I said, it could somehow be "shaven" off during a spell gone wrong, or an attack with another werewolf. There is always a small chance of hope my friends ;)

mietterouge eh? Okay, sent you a message on that account now, hehe! ;)

I still haven't seen that trailer.. they had an interview with the kids on one show here and they showed Harry riding Buckbeak which was cool, but I still don't reckon I've seen any dementors flying, although the boggart Lupin lets out of the box to teach Harry his patronus does a good job of looming. :)

[ChianaWeasley]

Patronus?!?!
I haven't seen the Patroni yet...:(
Must delve into the stomach of digital Google!
puts on wool over cloak, and quilted hat tipped suspiciously over the eyes. Pulls out bubble making pipe and promptly props her feet on the desk

[Xazinon]

Neither have I actually Chiana, didn't mean to get your hopes up! The bit I saw Lupin lets the boggart out, it turns into the dementor, Harry tries to do the patronus but he can't manage it! :eek: ;)

Speaking of Lupin, David Thewlis is going to be on a tonight show over here next Tuesday, guess I better tune in and see what he has to say for himself! :)

[Monkfish]

Just thought I`d let everyone know I now own a (small) piece of Hermoine`s robe from the film!:)

It`s part of an official costume card.

Apparently, after filming they cut the robe up into 900 pieces and placed them on cards with a number each.

I think I`ll buy an authenticated Emma Watson signed photo and have it framed with it!!!!!:D :) :D

[ChianaWeasley]

How much did you pay for this bit of robe? LOL, you are quite the loyal fan Monkfish ;) They did that for one of my favorite sci-fi shows that sadly went off air:( But I think the money went to charity, which is excellent!

Very lovely picture of Ron
:o

"WINGARDIUM RAZOROSA! Oops, sorry Professor..."

[ChianaWeasley]

Exactly March!

It was clearly an accident. And Neville has always had a history of being shaky with his wand. No one is to blame.

We would all mourn the moustache.....:rolleyes:

*cough*cough*

Right....
