I want them to fix the fight between bellatrix and Molly Weasley it’s supposed to be epic instead of the 20 seconds in the movie

And apparition that actually looks like apparition.

And no stupid fight scene between Voldy and Harry. It was brilliant in the book. I loved how Harry kept calling him Tom.

And no inconsistency between what spells look like!

Expelliarmus varied from looking like a fireball that knocked people back in the air, to looking like a someone shooting a nerf dart that resulted in someone just dropping their wand.

Avada Kedavra was always described as a bright flash of green light, but the films it looks more like a tie fighter shooting it's lasers. In my head it should be more like a spotlight that lights up area.

Not quite like this, this is a bit over the top, but similar.

Avada Kedavra is supposed to be unblockable, IIRC. It shat me the amount of times there was a green flash which is obviously Avada Kedavra yet the spell was blocked.

Great news, it should be closer to the books with the time available & HBO making it.

It is a wonder this got a go, JK is worse than Hitler to the woke.

Yeah, especially announcing it after the video game stirred up controversy very recently.

The video game made a bucket load of money and was very well received. Probably around a billion in sales.

Imagine these guys in a war.

Can see Brian Cox jumping from one HBO title to another, would be a good Dumbledore.

Not bad, would like to see Jared Harris take on the role his dad had.

We're going to get Matt Smith as Voldemort aren't we?

I'm only surface level as a "fan" of Harry Potter and never read past the first couple of books so any opinion I have is based on the movies but I just saw an article trying to put up Cumberbatch as Voldemort and Matt Smith as Lucius Malfoy, no doubt because white hair from GOT.

They did have Nick Frost as Hagrid which I quite liked though.

Not the SRP board so no more of this thanks.

Has it been filmed or are they looking for cast members?

Looking for cast. It has only just been announced.

 

[gaskin]

If we are talking about Hagrid, I'd love to see Stephen Fry. Hell, I think he would make a great Dumbledore as well.

 

[GreyWind]

I feel sorry for the new cast. They are always going to be compared to the original cast and let's face it the original cast has some absolute top talent. Smith, Rickman, Fiennes, HBC, Isaacs, Gambon, Coltrane, Thewlis, Oldman and there's many others who excelled for a movie or so, Staunton and Branagh, immediately come to mind there. These are big shoes to fill for beloved characters.

Honestly whatever poor bastard gets thrown in Snapes cloak…

How do you hold a candle to what Rickman did.

Who's that bloke, he was a Slytherin in the later books, maybe took over potions? Old quirky guy. Forget his name but Fry would be perfect at that.

******* easy.

I thought that version of Snape was very overrated. And he was too old.

I was thinking that was it but then I thought Slughorn was a Hufflepuff in my head

That is a good point. It is the same with Lupin and Sirius as well. They were only about 33-34 during Philosophers Stone. Whoever they get to play Lilly and James (if they do) needs to be in their early 20s.
