Check these out.

Is it just me, or does Barty Crouch look very much like Hitler?

And I think Mad-Eye's mad eye is pretty hilarious looking.

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

I don't know why, but I'm completely uninterested in watching another HP movie.

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

The picture of Cedric in a hood almost looks like Elijah Wood.

Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :

I'm sure the Crouch/Hitler similarity is intentional. You just don't give an authority figure a short little moustache like that on accident. He also reminds me of the teacher from Pink Floyd's The Wall.

Here's one of them before the second task.

I need to move to England. I'd fit in among all the other pale people there.

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

Those are some good-looking boys.

Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :

I want to give Harry and Ron haircuts. Especially Harry.

Posted by jebus202 (Member # 2524) on :

WTF? Fleur isn't wearing a bikini!? Screw that!

Posted by Glenn Arnold (Member # 3192) on :

Mad Eye just doesn't look right. His face isn't messed up enough, no obvious chunk out of his nose, and his eye should fit in his eye socket, it's not a strap on.

Posted by SC Carver (Member # 8173) on :

I agree Mad Eye doesn't look anything like what I thought he would. The eye is totally wrong. Hopefully they will do some digital effects on it before the movie hits.

There were boys in that picture?

Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :

Strange, all the boys strapped their knives on their left leg, and Fleur strapped hers on the right.

You can tell Emma Watson is growing up, she seems to have PMS in every GoF picture I've seen.

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

Neville doesn't look the way I picture him.

If I were dating Ron, I'd be pretty upset too.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

I don't think Neville looks the way the producers pictured either. He sprouted and got incredibly tall and thin between the 2nd and 3rd movies. I don't know that anyone was counting on that.

I like the pictures, but I DO wish Harry and Ron would lose some of the hair. I'm excited to see the movie though. [Smile]

Amen. I was thinking recently how choosing these kids in their youth was a gamble. I mean, you just don't know what kids will look like as they pass though that awkward phase.

In Neville's case, he turned out, well, *not* awkward. [Smile]

Posted by Leonide (Member # 4157) on :

He still looks awkward, just not endearing chubby awkward, which is what the book was going for.

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

They give him fake teeth and pale skin. If you look at his picture and imagine normal teeth, Neville is hot. Hotter than Harry, definitely.

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

Yea, I kind of wish he looked like that.

Harry in the picture of the four of the champs before the 2nd task looks a lot like Frodo. And I agree he should lose hair, Ron even more so. Ugh, long hair does not suit him.

Posted by Book (Member # 5500) on :

Yeah, but, I think half the point of the style of the movie here is to show the gloomy, awkward, uncertain side of growing up. All the kids certainly look unruly and moody (no pun intended). Should work.

I mean, sheesh, were you a model when you were fourteen? God forbid I show you MY high school photos.

And I've heard that Gleeson's performance as Mad-Eye is one of the most spot-on since Hagrid. There have been a few sneak peeks, I know.

EDIT: Also, in the picture of Harry smiling, I kind've want to turn all the colors black and white, turn the lenses of Harry's glasses pure white, and then, I dunno, show him mercilessly pummeling someone with his claw-like hands.

Posted by not hansenj (Member # 8066) on :

I saw the kid who plays Neville from about 4 feet away at the London premiere of PoA, and he is totally a cutie. I don't even feel ashamed saying that even though I am at least six years older than him [Blushing]

Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :

Can't wait!

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

Kind of like Jerry O'Connell. Watching Stand By Me, he's the last kind I'd pick to grow up to be gorgeous.

Posted by The Silverblue Sun (Member # 1630) on :

I thought Mad-Eye Moody would look more like a crazy ass kicker and less like an old fat guy.

Cho is a cutey

Posted by Sid Meier (Member # 6965) on :

I hope he's scotish thats how I pictured him. Other then that I
ld would've liked a Sean Connery (even though that is not how I originally pictured Moody)

Posted by Book (Member # 5500) on :

From what I understand, the way he plays the character is an old drunk Scottish crank. You really believe he's taking pulls of something more fun than polyjuice potion in that hip flask.

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

Compare and contast .

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

Am I the only person who thinks that guy looks like a low-rent version of Elija Wood?

Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :

[Angst]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkk [Angst]

(did we used to have a hair-raising graemlin? or am I thinking of another forum?)

Posted by romanylass (Member # 6306) on :

Sorry, Tante, but you're smoking crack.

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

Nope, Porter I agree with you.

Posted by Ron Lambert (Member # 2872) on :

You know, in the books, especially Half-Blood Prince, Ron Weasley is supposed to grow up and become very tall, taller than Harry, taller than his brothers. The actor playing Ron looks like he is going to remain short, however. Perhaps they will have to change actors, or else go to the expense of digitally enhancing him in every scene.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

I doubt that they'll worry about that. There are several other characteristics of people and the castle that they've managed to overlook, I'm sure they'll overlook the Ron/tall thing.

Porter, I'd switch it. As much as I love Elijah Wood (and I do love him a lot!), I'd say that he's the low rent versioin of Daniel Radcliff. [Smile]

(I just think DR is cuter.)

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

Yea I don't think they'll worry about Ron's height either, they didn't seem concerned with Neville's body. I always pictured Harry's scar in the middle of his forehead as well, but that could just be because of the covers.

Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :

Chris Columbus put a picture of Harry in front of Jo and asked her to draw the scar on his forehead. So there you go. [Smile]

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

Really? I thought she ok'ed it later on.

Posted by hansenj (Member # 4034) on :

Rupert Grint is older than the other two actors, and so in the third movie he actually was taller than them. [Smile]

And it looks like he's still taller than them, but they're probably catching up to him. Oh well...my biggest beef with the actors turned characters was the fact that Chris Columbus, and subsequent directors as well, didn't even bother to give Daniel Radcliffe green contacts. So much for him having Lily's emerald green eyes!

Posted by Vid (Member # 7172) on :

I watched the end of Chamber of Secrets on TV the other day, and I'm really glad that the books are getting darker. Hopefully, we won't have any more ending scenes that involve about 600,000 shots of the 3 main characters smiling, sappy music, and the whole Great Hall erupting in cheers based off one person's clapping. My goodness, I wanted to throw up. Yay, Hermione's back! Yay, Hagrid's back! Aw, that was such a nice thing Harry said. Aw, that's so sweet that Dumbledore got up and clapped. Aw, that's so sweet that Harry started clapping. Aw, that's so sweet that everyone started clapping. Hey, let's throw in a few more shots of the Big Three smiling at Hagrid! More clapping! More smiles! Grand music! A few more smiles! How sweet!

Thankfully, the acting in the third was better than the first two. Granted, none of them are gonna win any awards any time soon, but the first one just blew me away. Wow. Hopefully we'll see continued improvement.
