The Official Thread For: Harry Potter & The Order Of The Phoenix

[LEX]

I'm worried about the revelation in the end. Harris, bless his soul, I could easily picture him telling Harry everything calmly, just like in the book. Gambon, on the other hand, no, it's unpossible. It is folly. UNLESS, that is, they got him locked up and lunged a HP book at his face, which I highly doubt. I'm not too worried about Dan's performance. But I swear, if either him or Gambon screws this up, I...I don't know what I'd do. I am hopeful that Yates isn't stupid enough to not see the error in Gambon's portrayal.

Furthermore, I'm really disappointed that Marietta isn't anywhere to be seen in the DA. Rereading the book again, I realized how vital she is to the plot. I find the whole snitch scene very interesting and god damn it all if they ever change one ounce of it.

 

[Dr. Fate]

Ah yes, the tricks Hollywood have up their sleeves. Although it'd have to be magic to sort out Dan Radcliffe's eyebrows. They are insane!

I find most people complain more about Emma Watson's eyebrows after Goblet of Fire.

Emma Watson is a slightly above average looking girl. She has a cuteness about her, but you could walk outside your front door and see any number of girls who look just like her or even better. She is not ugly or anything like that, she's just nothing special.

Well, compared to what we know about Hermione in the books there are those who would say she is too cute looking for the role.

I certainly have been. I wouldn't go far as to say he's the worst actor in the films, Emma Watson and her overacting eyebrows take that spot

Maybe we'll get lucky and she'll leave the franchise after Order of the Phoenix and we'll never see or hear from her again; I came across an article where she said she wasn't sure she wanted to do Potters 6 and 7 or if she even wanted to keep acting in general. You can tell she's not much of an actress to begin with, so it wouldn't be a big loss to the acting community. Without the role of Hermione, a popular character in a popular book series, she'd be nothing. She'd be just another moderately cute teeny bopper actress in an industry over-stuffed with moderately cute teeny bopper actresses.

I miss Richard Harris's Dumbledore.

You're ****ing right. I hope she reads this and cuts herself

It's probably just a stunt to get a higher salary. It'd suck if she left and she knows it. She's the best hermione ever.

Damn I just want to see her and Rupert lock lips...

 

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

I wanna see her and me lock lips. I've been in love with her since mid-2001.

How old is she now anyway? :heart:

Changing Marietta can very easily ruin the entire continuity of the films. If Marietta doesn't snitch on them, how would Malfoy have ever gotten into the Room of Requirement? This is a key plot point of Half Blood Prince. You have to know what they are doing in the Room of Requirement to get into it. I wouldn't be suprised if they took out the Room of Requirement entirely and simply had DA in the Gryffndor common room or something equally stupid. That is the problem with these movies, not since Columbus (who most people complain about) has a director actually thought ahead for the rest of the franchise when making it (i.e. Taking Bill and the hospital wing scene out of Goblet.)

You know, it really wouldn't surprise me if they didn't have the Room of Requirement in. Maybe they haven't worked on it yet, I don't know. But that DA pic certainly didn't look like it was taken in someplace that could resemble the ROR. Which is moronic if they don't, look how integral it is to Half Blood Prince. It's like there's no real continuity between movies.

I could almost get Neville or Ron wearing Muggle clothes, but Malfoy? His hate for Muggles and Mudbloods is the character's primary trait.

Yeah, that's especially true when it concerns Draco. If they just focused on these little things a bit more, it'd make the whole HP movies that much more enjoyable.

I find most people complain more about Emma Watson's eyebrows after Goblet of Fire.

I am one of those people. Emma does a helluva lot of acting with her eyebrows which is very offputting, but Dan's are just bushy as hell. You can't really tell with the glasses on, but without them, yowza's!

Well, compared to what we know about Hermione in the books there are those who would say she is too cute looking for the role.

I would be one of those people. She is too cute looking for the role. Hermione isn't supposed to be cute. But with a juggernaut franchise such as this, they probably felt they have to have someone like Emma to get the puberty stricken boys to check it out.

Maybe we'll get lucky and she'll leave the franchise after Order of the Phoenix and we'll never see or hear from her again; I came across an article where she said she wasn't sure she wanted to do Potters 6 and 7 or if she even wanted to keep acting in general.

I read that quote from Emma and I was slightly annoyed. It would piss me off if any of the actors decided not to do the last two films now. If any were to back out, be it Dan, Emma, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith whoever, I feel it'd show a complete lack of respect for the fans of this. Personally I would be disgusted. She may be an awful Hermione, but for someone else to come on board for the last two movies would have a disorientated feel to it.

Regardless of whether this hypothetical new actress actually nailed Hermione both in appearance and behavior?

 

[Dr. Fate]

Damn. Double post. Pay no attention.

This far along into the series, I don't think the film makers would want to stray too far from the Emma Watson mould if they ever had to recast Hermione. I would expect someone similar to her, possibly slightly better in the acting department, but I wouldn't expect a big change.

I like to see continuity between films, including the actors in those films. Emma might have been a bad choice, but now this far along I don't want to have to get used to another Hermione.

It's not just that though. If any of the performers in the movies, suddenly dropped out after OOTP, I would consider it a F U to the fans. None of these kids would would be anywhere if it weren't for the HP franchise and the fans of it. I just think it'd be a complete lack of respect.

forget that they are people with their own lives, that might include other goals than pleasing fat, greasy fanboys. selfish bastard.

Was it an F U to fans when Michael Keaton walked away from the Batman franchise? I never see that lobbied against him.

I'm 15, she's 16, and she's...what? Like,seven monthsolder than me...DAMMIT!!!!

Life's a b**** sometimes, ain't it?

 

[Matt]

Other noteworthy members of D.A. that seem to be missing:

Ernie MacMillian (unless that ugly kid on the far left is him, but isn't Erine supposed to be good looking?)

Susan Bones

Lee Jordan

Katie, Angelina, and Alicia from the Gryffindor quidditch team

Hannah Abbot

It seems they left out half of D.A.

Also, why does Zacharias Smith look like Neville's twin?

 

[Matt]

Regarding Emma leaving, I doubt it'll happen. Any agent with half a brain has to see that once these movies are over, so are their careers. The only one with a chance of a post-Potter career is Rupert Grint and that is only because he is margainally more talented than the rest and the Ron character keeps getting shafted with each movie, less screen time = less chance of type cast (they cut out his only noteworthy plot in OOTP for godsakes).

First off, I am not fat thank you very much. Greasy? Well maybe at one point. Yeah, fanboy I will give you.

Yes, there have been times when there maybe something that I didn't want to do, but have done out of respect for other people, that's life. I think they owe a lot to the fans of the franchise, they have been embraced by them and wouldn't be where they are today if it weren't for them, so excuse me if I think they should repay the fans in some way.

When they signed on to do the first movie, they must have known it'd go on until the end.

But to resort to name calling. That makes me sad...... <<<<<<<see.

No need for that, that's just so mean.

Was it an F U to fans when Michael Keaton walked away from the Batman franchise? I never see that lobbied against him

Different circumstances as far as I am concerned. Keaton wanted to do a third Batman film, but due to Burton being taken off the project and hearing what Schumacher had instore, he walked away. That I can respect. Doing something because they don't really feel like doing it anymore, that I can't.

Besides Batman is an open ending franchise, whereas Harry Potter has an end and all these people knew it walking in.

Ernie MacMillian (unless that ugly kid on the far left is him, but isn't Erine supposed to be good looking?)

Isn't Hermione supposed to be an odd looking girl? Appearences don't seem to matter these days.

I doubt it'll happen either. She's probably trying for more money. I think Dan Radcliffe will probably have some sort of post Potter career, he's certainly trying for it anyway. I don't think he's particularly talented, but since when did talent matter in Hollywood?

But yeah, Ron gets the shaft big time and he's the most talented out of the main three.

 

[SapphirePrima]

I'm I the only one who notices that these movies aren't set in the same years as the books? Their clothes are too current.

Fair enough.

I thought Hermione was supposed to be plain looking, which = ordinary. She is not pretty (unless she works at it), she's not ugly, she's not remotely unique in her apperance, she's just sort of there. That doesn't really come across with Emma, but like you say, appearances don't seem to matter these days.

Talent rarely matters in Hollywood. Example - Paris Hilton, not a shred of talent or even a shred of beauty.
