Love love love. I forgave them Lucy not being blonde (maybe that was just the cartoon? my head? I think it was in the book) once I saw the actress. Marvelous. I loved the casting of all the children and how they actually looked like siblings. I loved the period detail and feel. I didn't mind the changes because none of them seemed a) gratuitous or b) completely out of sync.
I agree, Trudy. I LOVED Narnia. It was so beautifully done. I didn't remember that Lucy was a blonde in the book, but the actress who played her was the cutest.thing.ever.

I've imagined Lucy being a brunette for forever. So either I have very bad attention-paying skills, she was a brunette in the book, or it was never mentioned.
Lucy was a brunette in the BBC miniseries, which is the visual I think most people have seared into their brains.

Or maybe you had some subconscious brunette!Lucy bleeding over from
Peanuts.
I loved it too. Glad that my Tumnus love was not roused to ire by the movie Tumnus, who was as charming and fey and daffy as I hoped he would be.
I've decided that the girl who plays Natalie ini Love, Actually
needs to play Tonks.
Have they picked a Tonks yet?
runs to imdb
Doesn't look like there is a Tonks yet.
[link] She could totally play her.
Oh, that would be a good match, maybe. But then, I've never gotten a firm grasp on Tonks' look - is she supposed to be really tall or something? I get that impression, but maybe that's because "clumsy" means "lanky" in my mind.
She morphs - she has no real look. She can look how she wants.
She's a good match for the potential "blahness" that is Tonks's natural state, but that picture makes me think she can also do the vivaciousness that is Pink Tonks. Unfortunately, she's about ten years too old for book Tonks, but since actors' ages don't really count for the HP films (see, Alan Rickman), maybe they won't pay so much attention to that.
