    To please the general, jump-on-the-bandwagon population, I guess.

    I blame those people for not being able to distinguish between Tom Felton and Draco, and her turning Draco lighter to not piss off fans.

    (She's actually complained in interviews before about the fans seeing them both as the same person, and she didn't want to upset them or suprise them, but Draco wasn't originally supposed to be so nice)

    I find it unsurprising that she writes horrid romances. She's been divorced and remarried. This is not a woman who knows about keeping a stable relatonship or anything.

    I wouldn't really call being unable to kill an authority figure 'light', he's just kinda a pussy, which is in line with everything his character has done in all of canon except the scen with Harry on the train (which was very stupid on all fronts).

    Those people that think Draco and Tom Felton are one in the same need a good smack upside the head. Fucking idiots.

    And how about those people who can't see the differance between Alan Rickman and Snape! Has any of them paid attention to his description? The dude is extremely ugly!

    H/G can be...mildly bearable if written extremely well, which I'd say the number of fics who can boast that are easily countable on one hand. And Alan Rickman is good actor...and he put a good voice on Marvin in a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

    Yes, he was great in Hitchhiker's guide. I just imagined a maniacally depressed Snape and just burst out laughing.

    " Snape, give us your report." commanded Dumbledore.

    "Ok, but you're not going to like it." Snape lamented.

    :lol:

    Indeed.

    "Severus, do you have any ideas?" Dumbledore asked.

    "Why? Its not like you ever listen anyhow," Snape drones.

    Marvin in the 2005 Hitchhickers movie...

    Rickman is one of my favorite actors, just for his character the man has, he's great. He's one of the few people I think that were cast perfectly in their roles, with Richard Harris as Dumbledore, and Gary Oldman as Sirius also being included.

    I'll add Robbie Coltraine as Hagrid and Jason Issacs as Lucius Malfoy to that list. Both are perfect for their roles.

    Aye they are on there.

    I like Felton's Malfoy, despite the fact I hate the idea that the fangirls may of swayed JKR's plans for Draco in the books.

    Neville's done well, Madame Hooch in SS was just like I'd thought.

    Maggie Smith as Prof. Mcgonagall.

    The CGI team behind Dobby I appreciate the work they did on him, it shows.

    I'll move this since its going off topic and I wanna talk about this damnit !



    EDIT: For some of the worst, I'd go for most of the actors in the GoF movie, so including that, my new worst ones are

    Moody (The eye... what the f*ck happened there?!?!?!)

    Voldemort (Ralph looks stupid in that damned pasty greyish getup, he's supposed to look evil, not like a damned albino old guy from the 1600's damnit)

    New Dumbledore

    Lupin both the actor and the werewolf.

    Wormtail

    Crouch Sr.

    A lot of the Snape-lovers out there seem to like Snape only because of Rickman. It gets on my nerves.

    They all suck.

    End of debate.

    The one who plays Ron should be shot.

    The one who plays Harry needs to spend some time living in Londons slums... Maybe then someone will remove his "I'm a nerd who has millions of 11 year old girls lusting after me" look from his face via fist covered in brass knuckles.

    The one who plays Hermione... Needs Puberty.

    Snape. Needs an acting class.

    Dumbledore. Acts eerily like one of those pedophile priests

    McGonagall. Needs a good hard F***ing.

    Hagrid. Sucks as an actor, but rocks as a character... Is allowed to live.

    Sirius. Like Snape... Needs acting class.

    Lupin. Again with the acting class.


    Lupin/Sirius/Hagrid... Need better lines.

    Aye, I've liked Rickman since I saw Dogma, and most stuff I've seen him in since then has been good.

    Gio:

    I can't stand Grint, but he makes the the perfect Ron, they're pretty much the same person.

    Radcliffe comes off as a clueless twit whose easily manipulated and has no general idea what to do without a hand up his ass directing his motions, A.k.a. Harry Potter.

    Hagrid anyone in a giant outfit could of done, but the warmth of the character and the accent works really well.

    Saying Gary Oldman needs acting classes is a bit of a strech, the guy's brilliant.

    Lupin needs them, and the shocky monkey, to loose that gay used car salesman look.

    I just didn't like his acting... Something about it turned me off. But your right his other work is good.

    Personally I like the Snape in the chapter pictures, you know with the goatee. But, I think trying to make someone to look like that in reality would not work out very well. I also don't like the new Dumbledore all that much, but can't really do much about it unless one of you know how to raise the dead. Hmmmm, you know if he had died after the sixth movie that would have been pretty creepy. Kind of puts method acting to a whole new level.

    Rickmans been a favorite of mine since Die Hard... but aye.. dogma was brilliant.. and yeah...he makes a perfect snape...

    Gayr Oldman is brilliant as well... lupin.. neds to be shot as does Grint, Radcliff and the new dumbledore

    Issacs is again one of my favorite actors... and given his relationship with draco i find it funny he played Lord Felton in Dragonheart... im just weird like that i guess... perfect for good ole lucy malfoy...

    Robbie Coltraine... there IS no better hagrid in my opinion...
