    Why the fuck are they adding shitass characters like this, yet I bet we don't see Scrimgeour, Percy with a face full of potatoe and the Gaunts, rape this idiotic film crew.

    I'm thinking yes, having seen the trailer. We see Ginny standing alone by a lake/pond getting disarmed in it, which didn't happen in the book.

    LOL

    This is a bit of an "off-topic", but what the hell, we're talking about the movies so I thought it was appropiate. Apparently, this:

    [​IMG][​IMG]

    is the actress who'll play Romilda Vane in the movie... WTF? Shouldn't she be, at least, uglier than Wright? This just makes me see Daniel Radcliffe as a sad bastard. Can't hit the hawt girls.

    Well...the hair kind of balances it out.....wait..who am i kidding, Wright wins the ugly contest flat. Honestly, they are going to have to use some heavy duty makeup/CG on Wright to attract anyone to the screening.

    You people piss and moan too much about these fucking movies. Different medium means a different way of telling the story. Most of the people here spend their days btiching about how much JKR screwed up the last couple of books, and now you're crying that the directors aren't making the movies exactly the same.

    (See sig.) Besides, I think Laurasia is kewl!

    I was never clear why they picked a black girl to play her anyway (especially that one, Lavender's boy-craziness must have been a one-way proposition outside of Ron 'The Lowliest Ginger' Weasley). I've seen black people named Black and named White... never seen one named Brown. ;)

    Seriously though, I've always pictured her as having tan skin, brown eyes, and long, relatively straight, brown hair. Actually, I've pictured her looking a lot like that girl that The Mysterious Nobody posted (who is apparently playing Romilda), except with straight hair.

    People seem to mostly split into two groups where Lavender is concerned. There are the people who see her as black, because she was in her friggin' bit part in one of the movies. Then there are the people who see her as blond and blue-eyed, because all boy-crazy, gossipy, air-heads are blond and all blonds have blue eyes. :rolleyes:

    Interesting. I'll pretend she's playing Lavender Brown (then laugh inappropriately when Ron appears to suck face with a random extra).

    For shits and giggles: The HP Cast List. Hmm, the Not Appearing results in the column for Deathly Hallows is interesting. Of course, it is Wikipedia...

    Edit: lol, nice sig, Big D. I think I can safely say you're the first to ship Laurasia/Harry/Tonks. I guess I'll be the second.

    I feel the adaptations are slowly snowballing into a parallel canon. We had cutting out of shit in the last films, which tbh would have to happen. But now they're adding OCs and making new scenes. Deathly Hallows 1+2 might just be a horrific train wreck which bears little similarities to canon. Then again they might have a proper final Harry/LV showdown. Fingers crossed eh?

    Well, randomly enough, I met the girl who played Lavender in HP:pS - Jennifer, I think she was called - during a dental interview in Cardiff nearly two years ago now, so it seems she embraced the world of teeth over the film industry.

    Really? the romilda I always saw in my head was dumb jailbait.

    With the girls hair, I don't see it. She's ok, but she not exactly pretty. Still better than wright, but to be fair, her ginger gene is probably cock blocking us all. That and who she's playing.

    I just like the fact that this is where they start adding scenes to the books instead of just taking away from it.

    All the previous books were great and they reluctantly have to chop out scenes to make the movie good, but its here where jk starts to go a little nuts and as a result now they add scenes to make the movie good.

    It's like the writers and directors realize that this is where everything goes down hill and they got to do what they can to make the most of a bad situation.

    I hope they rewrite the romance just to piss off the shippers. It would be funny to watch the harpies at mugglenet go postal.

    My god... I can just picture the threads. More rage than we could ever hope to muster from a trolling raid. More rage than we could ever hope from a group flaming. It would be the ultimate HP fandom trolling, in a way.

    Hey, they changed the curse that killed Sirius from a stunner to an AK. Maybe they'll do the same for Harry's fucking pansy disarmer when he owns Voldemort.

    @Big D: I think you've come up with my new fav pairing. Larry FTW! :fap

    QFT.

    The girl that played Pansy early on - the one you get by googling her anyway, is more in line of what I pictured for Romilda, and nothing at all as to what I actually pictured as Pansy.

    Fact is, no matter what they do at this stage short of dropping Bonnie like a pregnant girlfriend, all the female roles are going to hammer home that Harry, and by extension Radcliffe, got the shitty end of the stick.

    On a final note, I'd ship Larry.

    I guess Grint wins by default.
    I mean he gets watson, I don't care how pervy I sound, hot damn!

    I'm curious to see what her Eyebrows will do in a kissing scene.

    Hopefully they don't do a kissing scene, seeing that ginger cunt kissing watson is terrible.

    At least the director had some pity on Radcliffe - No kissing Wright this movie, instead they get interrupted by Death Eaters. I know I'd be welcoming them with open arms, Lucy is a lot more feminine than Ginny.

    Actually, it seems they are really going fully for the Harry only very occasionally seeing Ginny at a distance until he gets his Chest-Monster, then him buggering off. Still not going to the cinema to see it though. DVD is good enough.

    I don't know how they picked 'Laurasia' as a name, but the actress doesn't look like the rear end of a mule, so she can only improve the movie.
