Thanks for the new thread!

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 12-11-2019, 11:00 PM

You're welcome.

Her eyes here.

**fly me to the moon** · 12-12-2019, 08:17 AM

Yes, I really love her eyes..

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 12-12-2019, 10:42 PM

LOL. I always laugh at how Fleur's written in the books. Like our thread title. It means her French accent is very thick.

**fly me to the moon** · 12-13-2019, 06:20 PM

I gonna read when it comes to her part in the books.. But really? I didn't know that..

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 12-13-2019, 10:30 PM

Yeah her lines are written in a way that it's perceived that her accent is thick.

**fly me to the moon** · 12-14-2019, 11:44 AM

Oh man..

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 12-15-2019, 01:14 AM

In the movie, which I've forgotten, I think Fleur's accent wasn't as thick though that's probably because of Clemence.

**fly me to the moon** · 12-15-2019, 01:11 PM

Yeah, it wasn't, but you can able to hear her accent, but not too thick or stronger..

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 12-15-2019, 10:17 PM

I think they purposely made the French accent understandable since HP will be watched by an international audience but in the book, Fleur's accent is supposed to be really thick.

**fly me to the moon** · 12-16-2019, 08:06 AM

Ahh, that made sense even tho at least they can change little bit up.. But I have no problem since I know some fans always do same exact from the book to movies..

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 12-17-2019, 12:20 AM

It's kind of like with David Tennant in Doctor Who. He's Scottish so he has to do the British accent to play the role because Doctor Who has an international fanbase.

**fly me to the moon** · 12-17-2019, 08:08 PM

Ah, I didn't know that..

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 12-17-2019, 11:18 PM

Also the HP cast too. Dan, Emma & Rupert all have very understandable British accents too. They can't cast someone who has a thick British accent that most people won't understand.
