Dare we hope for a reprise of Kate Beckinsale's "Romanian" accent from Van Helsing? Once she was done with the werewolf, I expected her to start hunting Moose and Squirrel.

Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Dan Radcliffe is going for a Dudley Moore in Arthur thing after he drinks the Liquid Luck.
I thought he was doing Captain Jack Sparrow.

I another another HP question. In Order of the Phoenix, did they cut out the part of the prophecy about how it could have been Neville who was the chosen one? Because he was barely in this movie, and I wondered what role would be left for him in the final movie.

no shit, Sue.
I was actually pretty pissed at the treatment of Neville. I think the character deserves a lot more respect than what he got in the movie. I really like Neville and felt for him as a result of book 5 and I feel like he was really mistreated in this movie - given future events.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
ITA about Neville. A fraking WAITER?!?! What asshole did they pull that out of??

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Yeah, that really ticked me off, too. Although JKR did give Neville short shrift in the HBP book, it wasn't quite that bad.
He was also in Slughorn's class, which is a big mistake in terms of Neville but was obviously just done to give him a few more seconds of airtime.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Airbender live action/drawing comparison. Nice how Dev's playing the lightest-skinned of the 4.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, the fail. Just looking at them makes me faintly sick with anger. And words cannot express how profoundly those last two in particular are NOT Katara or Sokka. I'm sure they're nice kids and fine actors, but they are fundamentally not those two characters.

This is going to be another one of those movie adaptations I have to pretend never happened, isn't it?
