As far as I know, Iorek is still voiced by McKellen.

Which is a stupid bit of 11th hour stunt-casting by New Line. [Mad]

It's funny... I was talking with Havah earlier tonight about the "choose your daemon" thing. I thought fox might be a good choice. Sure enough, I came up with Eamon the Daemon. He's a fox. Though I think I probably should have gotten a female daemon, if I read the books correctly.

Daemons have the opposite gender from their human, so unless there's something you're not telling us, yours should be male. [Wink]

Lisa has already told. It's a fascinating tale. She's...pretty unique.

As I recall, there is a peripheral character in the first book with a same-gender daemon. Pullman has said that having a same-gender daemon was not meant to indicate said character was attracted to the same gender, though that's the conclusion many readers drew.

I thought it was clear that people who are gay have daemons of the same sex.

That was the conclusion I drew.

Ah, I forgot that. My bad.

The narration about that character implied that he was notably gentle and kind, and that he suffered some social stigma from having a daemon of the same gender.

I thought all the Daemons were busy enabling UNIX to run.

Asprasa the tiger; although I wouldn't personally describe myself as "modest, solitary, shy, a leader, and assertive." But there it is and who am I to argue.

I do not think he had a social stigma. He was a solitary man though.

But... if that indicated gayness, I don't think he had much opportunities to do something about that.
