sarah_orangehmm just been checking the imdb for the fourth harry potter film (seeing as I'm just re-finishing the book) some interesting casting choices - I've been thinking about the casting as I've been reading and trying to work out who they might have. they have miranda richardson as rita skeeta, the dad out of 28 days later as mad-eye, trigger as barty crouch and francis de la tour (from rising damp) as madame maxine. there doesn't appear to be a ludo bagman - I know they've cut a lot out but that seems somewhat odd unless its a mistake on the page.
the guy who did donnie brasco is directing.

Date: 2005-09-15 03:01 pm (UTC)I think the third one hung together better as a film than the other 2 and didn't shoe horn all the plot into the last few minutes cos they'd spent to much time on quidditch.
the casting has generally been spot on. apart from I never really liked richard harris as dumbledore. the main teachers are excellent and the weasleys are ace - I suspect julie walters was born to play molly weasley :)

Date: 2005-09-15 03:15 pm (UTC)As for the last film, I did think they'd shoehorned the plot into the last few minutes of the film. I got really fed up with the 'swooping shots of hogwarts' and didn't feel they took enough time in explaining the whole sirius/Lupin etc connection.
Agree most of the casting is fab - Maggie smith was born to be professor macgonnagal and robbie coltrane's a great Hagrid too. And as for Alan rickman as Snape, I don't think a part has ever been more perfect. It's got to the stage i can't read the books without hearing alan rickmans voice when Snape's speaking.
