Did you watch the third film? You do know that Trelawny was already featured in that on, right?

Also, I don't know how I feel about Luna Lovegood, she doesn't seem to look wacky enough to be Luna. I suppose her portrayl could change my mind, but the look doesn't seem right. At least she is wearing turnip earrings. That's a step in the right direction.

Also, there is no teaser trailer yet. The first teaser is set to be released on Nov. 17th with the movie Happy Feet.

Grawp has been cast in the film and is going to be played by Tony Maudsley. I assume that they are going to recreate the movements on screen with Grawp's features and body being superimposed via special effects. Similar to what they did with Gollum in the Lord of the Rings movies.

How ya doing, buddy?

This film makes me nervous, being the longest book. I'm afraid they're going cut everything out of it that makes it such a great book and then I'm going to hate it, much as I did with Goblet of Fire. Everything that wasn't part of the tournament was cut and you couldn't really connect with the world.

Same with Prisoner of Azkaban. There were too many things that were essential to the plot that were left out or not elaborated on and it makes me sad as a huge fan of the books.

I wish they would make directors cuts with lengths that they deserve.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Just as long as Fred and George's role doesn't get cut out too bad, since I enjoyed their "prank" more than most of the book, sadly.

It was said on Mugglecast that there have been no scenes filmed with Ron on a broomstick and that it was likely that there would be no quidditch in the fifth film at all. Which I think kind of stinks. I always liked the interruption of the normal storyline with a little bit of quidditch. It adds another dimension to the world that we're missing out on. But yeah, the movie can't be four hours long.

Also, from this picture, i think that Fred and George's leaving won't be left out. From what I can tell, that looks like some kind of explosions (caused by fireworks?) outside of the great hall. I don't remember any other explosions in that book.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I wouldn't quite say that. Considering that he was the leader of a resistance group in direct defiance of the government and the caliber of the people that Harry and his friends fought inside the Ministry, I would say that he did pretty good for himself.

Also, Concept art of Azkaban.


What do you think? I think it looks pretty cool, although not exactly what I thought it would look like.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
