Angel ,'Shells'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. 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.
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.
Airbender live action/drawing comparison. Nice how Dev's playing the lightest-skinned of the 4.

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?
He's got a nifty screenplay about Pablo Escobar, too. (No, that joke never gets old. Even for fandoms I don't know.)
I think HP6 was the most successful movie so far in terms of tone, and possibly the least successful in terms of story. I feel like there is so much book canon missing now that the last two movies will have to be severely retconned or flashbacked to make anything work quite right.
But thank god an HP movie was actually FUNNY! I laughed so much!
Movie!Ginny is very much not my Ginny though. Where's the fire of our fiery redhead?
Just saw HP&HBP. I never read the books but I've done a lot of reading about them and know a little bit of what was left out. My sister, who has read them was miffed at how much of the background on Snape was left out. The whole reveal about the book and who the HBP was seemed like an afterthought.
I'd rate the movies as: 1)PofA, 2)OoftheP, 3)SS, 4)HBP, 5)GofF, and 6)CofS.

Zukko's not burned! That's barely a sunburn. Put some chapstick on it and quit pouting!
Hobbit casting rumor:
Tennant, McAvoy and Radcliffe in running for Bilbo Baggins?
When Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro get The Hobbit going before cameras soon, Ian Holm won't be back in big rubber feet. Now three names are increasingly being rumored as options for the part of Bilbo Baggins, Dr. Who's David Tennant, Narnia's James McAvoy and Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe.
